INDIANAPOLIS – Mike White’s fascinating rise from virtual unknown to Jets starting quarterback was a great story while it lasted.

White suffered a right forearm injury on the Jets’ second series and did not return in a game in which the defense never showed up.

The Jets were manhandled by the Colts, 45-30, at Lucas Oil Stadium and embarrassed in their only prime time game of the season on Thursday night.
