Colts coach Tony Dungy was asked after his team's 34-31 overtime win against the Chargers how much his regulars will play against the Broncos.
"I think people make the mistake sometime of saying, 'We're not going to play these guys and this guy isn't going to play.' I think you lose a little sharpness because you don't practice," Dungy said. "We'll determine how long our first group is going to play, but they'll all play.
"They'll practice like they're going to play. They'll play for however long we decide, like they're playing a playoff game. We'll try to keep that rhythm, and then we'll substitute from there. But we're not going to go into it saying we'll have 20 guys who aren't going to play."
