Don Shula, who coached the 1972 Miami Dolphins to the only undefeated season in NFL history, congratulated the Indianapolis Colts on their 2009 season today after a loss to the New York Jets ended their hopes to at perfection.
“While the Jets win today ended Indianapolis’ streak and showed once again how difficult it is to go undefeated, I want to congratulate the Colts on a great run,” Shula said in a statement released by the Dolphin organization.
He also took time to single out Peyton Manning for his performance.
“Peyton Manning proved once again this season why he is one of the best quarterbacks in the history of the NFL and it was certainly no surprise to see him lead the Colts to a NFL record 23 straight victories,” Shula added. “I have the utmost respect for Peyton and his teammates, Bill Polian, and the entire Colts organization, who have once again put together an outstanding season.”
