The Colts' coach, Jim Caldwell, decided he wanted to have his starters off the field where he could be sure they wouldn't get hurt before the Superbowl. They (Including Peyton Manning) played most of the game. He pulled them in the 2nd half, to what most fans would say were disastrous results.

According to Bill Polian, they had already met their two main goals for this season--to set a record for most consecutive regular season games won, and to get the record for most games won this decade. After that, he claims trying for a perfect season didn't seem that important. Since the Colts' backup quarterback Jim Sorgi is injured, they were concerned that if something happened to Manning they wouldn't have an experienced QB to play at the Superbowl.

From everything I have heard, the head coach didn't want to risk him getting injured for the playoffs. They didn't care about a perfect regular season, the playoffs and winning the Super Bowl are much more important.
