Will Colts give rest to regulars?

? Tony Dungy treats the mounting questions like he’s a politician.

Everyone wants to know how the Indianapolis Colts cope with the pressure of staying perfect one more week. Dungy usually responds with a tactful touch.

But there is one question that makes the Colts’ coach groan: Will he continue playing starters if the Colts clinch the AFC South title, a first-round bye and home-field advantage this weekend?

“I don’t think too far ahead, but I do everything I can to win,” he said with a chuckle. “If we’re fortunate enough to win, I’ll do what I do every week. I’ll ask for some wisdom from the Lord and pray that they don’t get hurt.”

Playing it safe might be the only remaining obstacle between the Colts and a perfect season.

At 12-0, they’ve already secured a playoff spot. A win at Jacksonville on Sunday would give them the division title, a first-round bye and home-field advantage for the playoffs – making their game in Seattle on Dec. 24 their final one on the road.

So far the Colts have been fortunate. With a month left in the regular season, the only significant injuries have been to their safeties, though two of their top three seem to be healthy each week.
