There are those who believe the Indianapolis Colts could risk losing momentum if they opt to rest players in the coming weeks.

Colts President Bill Polian isn’t among them.

Polian, while emphasizing that it’s too early to be considering the issue, said during his weekly radio show Monday that he doesn’t believe in late-season momentum, and that he doesn’t believe a team that rest players with playoff seeding clinched risks players getting “rusty.”

“The idea that you somehow lose momentum or that you get rusty has no basis in fact, none whatsoever,” Polian said Monday on his weekly radio show on 97.1 Hank FM in Indianapolis.

“It’s just a theory and it is great to be spoken about and written about, but the facts say otherwise.”
