Peyton Manning would go on to throw for 4600 yards that year and 37 TD's. He was named 1st team all pro for the 6th time in his career. It was also the 2nd time that he would be named to the 1st team without winning MVP as Adrian Peterson won it that year with his 2000 yard season. The other was 2005 when Shaun Alexander won it with his record breaking season of 27 rushing touchdowns. He was named comeback player of the year however.
I remember watching this first half on a school night, so I went to bed at halftime. I was STUNNED when I saw the final score when I woke up the next morning.
I remember this game so vividly, it made me truly believe in the Broncos as a young fan it was everything to see the Broncos beat down the Chargers for the years preceding it SD had really dominated Denver, from the McDaniels era to Tebow and Fox, it was so awesome to see this and go to 9th grade after this kind of win.
12:00 Peyton Manning who is not known for being nimble.. what awareness around him and even under him as hops over someone before completing a pass. Not the most agile and not the strongest arm but my God he's probably one of the best Field general I've ever seen at the quarterback position
I have a couple of suggestions for throwbacks that this channel could upload: Titans at Patriots, Week 5, 2003. Browns at Ravens, Week 11, 2007. EDIT: I forgot, Falcons at Jaguars, Week 17, 1996.
Great game for Peyton and a great comeback, I always hated Peyton for some reason and I would always smile when someone talks about the 1998 season, Super bowl 44 or super bowl 48
I know it has been talked about a lot but even with that I don't think Peyton gets the credit he deserves for what he did after his injury! Why, 4 neck fusion surgeries & permanent nerve damage in his passing arm & hand!! I literally think it's one of the most incredible achievements in the history of sports & that's a fact!!! He couldn't even throw a ball 10 yards & less than a year later he takes a new team to the playoffs ( a game they shoulda won)!! Also, as I'm watching this I still can't believe that Demetrius Thomas is past away!!
It was fall break, so the whole fam piled into the car and drove from Denver to SoCal for the week. We left early on a Monday morning, and as we were approaching Los Angeles it was game time. Hit some LA traffic, but dad had the radio going with the game. It was terrible. Nothing was going right for the Broncos, and because we were in SoCal the only station we could pick up was the Chargers. I had to hear their stupid commentator say in a shrill voice “MOVE THOSE CHAINS” for what felt like a hundred times. To hear all that after a long 15 hour drive while being stuck in bumper to bumper traffic was a literal nightmare. Then Peyton throws a pick-six. Another turnover. Broncos down 24-0. Dad cuts off the radio. At this point, we just wanted to get to the house we had rented. Finally pulled in, unpacked, sat down, and decided we’d see how the second half had started. Broncos had scored. 24-7. I figured I’d watch a little more. It was a nice change to hear the classic duo of Gruden and Tirico making the calls on ESPN. Then suddenly it all started to change. Everything came together in the most magical-football sort of way. Sack after sack. Laser strike after laser strike from Manning to Decker and Stokley, defensive touchdowns and takeaways, and on and on. 28-24 Broncos. And then the icing on the cake….Chris Harris (who I had the chance to meet that previous Summer while he was still trying to make the team) caps it off with a glorious pick six! 35-24 Broncos for good. I nearly lost my voice from all the shouting and excitement. The best part though, was going to sleep that night knowing that Mr. “move those chains” had been silenced 😂😁 Such a sweet victory, and my favorite Broncos game ever.
With that 2012 Broncos team, you always knew they’d make plays to catch up and pull ahead. Offensively and Defensively. It’s a shame they blew that year’s playoff at home against Baltimore.
You just wish Peyton had more moments like this in the playoffs. Outside that afc title game, not a lot of memorable Manning moments in the playoffs that weren’t losses.
@@kobedagoat6395 Lol no true dog. Pretty sure it wasn’t the defense that threw the Pick 6 against the Saints, or 4 Picks against the Patriots, or scored 0 against the Jets, 3 against the Patriots a second time etc.
@@kobedagoat6395 right but in that Raven game he also turned the ball over what 3 times including that final interception. And the Steelers game yes the kicker missed, but they got a gift cuz Bettis fumbled.
Nine one-and-dones in the postseason. 6 at home!!!! ZERO scoring drives in the 4thQ of Super Bowls! 3 TDs passes, 5 INTs and 4 Fumbles in SB. And this kid blames the defense for that!? And a ring in 2005?? Blames a kicker in a game AT HOME where Peyton put up 3 points for the first 45 minutes of the game? What a clueless Stan.
The Broncos went to win the remaining games of that season. Yes, they were 2-3 prior to this game & after this game, they won 13 straight games. Had Rahim Moore didn’t blow his coverage on Jacoby Jones, who knows.
As a Chiefs fan, it always sucked watching Peyton Manning come to Denver and own the AFC West. I wonder how the rest of the AFC West feels with the Chiefs dominating the AFC West the last 5 years?
im tired of my Broncos we dont just need a qb anymore our players are fucking old, all of our LBs in the hospital, the WRs and Fant have been playing worse than usual the only bright spot is our rookies!
That Broncos defense was damn good. They had an elite pass rush lead by Von and Elvis. They were backed up by a secondary that was lead by HOFer Champ Bailey and one of the top slot corners ever in Chris Harris Jr. That secondary flourished in man to man coverage. That’s what makes Flaccos 2012 run so much more impressive. He essentially put Champ in retirement because Flacco and Torrey Smith were Torching Champ and that defense all day.
Damn that Bronco secondary was NASTY! They had a prime Chris Harris in the slot! Tony Carter was waaaaaayy under rated as a #2. Plus the nasty pass rush which automatically makes an average DB become above average from simply for lacing the QBs to rush through progressions. I forgot how good that team was.
@@varsityathlete4786 That's not accurate. Top defenses tend to get into playoffs and QB stats plummet. Watch Brady in the AFCCG at Denver in 2014 and 2016. Not exactly GOAT material but he is the GOAT overall.
The nostalgia of this night…… I remember it being a school night so my parents told me to go to sleep but I stayed up because Peyton Manning was my favorite player. The next day at school all my friends came up to me and roasted me because they had not seen the score the next morning 😂😂😂
Simps can say what they want about the Chargers not belonging in LA but looking at that opening shot of Qualcomm Stadium which looks like the Colosseum in Rome.. an ancient dilapidated ruin in shambles, I'm so glad the team is now playing at SoFi Stadium.
Seeing that full house of Chargers fans, this makes me think... Maybe this game was the beginning of the end of the Chargers fandom in general. It certainly set the tone for collapses in the next decade forward...
He thought the Bronco chasing him had the angle and wanted to make him lose momentum. Moss did that move to perfection in his thanksgiving game against Dallas in a more apt situation
In this video which I have never seen, Peyton, like his brother Eli,are both in HALL OF FAME,BUT there father,Archie would be very proud of his 2 sons, and both Peyton and Eli,both went to the University of Tennessee, as there Alumni would be very proud of them, and there accomplishments but Peyton is no stupid cookie, to understand the defense is not easy at all as the NFL,is set to open soon ,and it's the start of the 2024 season, but this game was played in the 2012 season, some 12 years ago but it doesn't bother me as the Olympics is going on now with the United States teams have the most metals with China in 2nd place, but that doesn't surprise me at all, and the biggest problem in Paris is the quality of water in the river and that's very surprising as in 2 more years will be the winter games.
13:29 any time you were a defender and you saw Peyton Manning bobbing his head up and down, jumping from left to right along the offensive line, going crazy changing the play - awh man, you know a big pass is coming and it will likely be a touchdown. Too funny. Great catch by Stokes but Manning out only where Brandon could get it.
This was the game that got Denver going. They wouldn't lose another game until that wild one against Baltimore.
Peyton Manning would go on to throw for 4600 yards that year and 37 TD's. He was named 1st team all pro for the 6th time in his career. It was also the 2nd time that he would be named to the 1st team without winning MVP as Adrian Peterson won it that year with his 2000 yard season. The other was 2005 when Shaun Alexander won it with his record breaking season of 27 rushing touchdowns. He was named comeback player of the year however.
Rodgers should have been 1st team but Manning had a great year and the. Went on the next year to have the best year for a quarterback
@@Johnny55671 Oh Yeah He Did
He should have got the MVP over AP
@@PeterOldschool it's AD and no he had a near record breaking season.

This sparked an ELEVEN game winning streak! Broncos were looking at 2-4 down 24-0 at half. What a turnaround
I remember watching this first half on a school night, so I went to bed at halftime. I was STUNNED when I saw the final score when I woke up the next morning.
That was exactly me
This was a hell of a job by the Denver defense not allowing a point and scoring 2 tds in the 2nd half.
One of Peyton's greatest comebacks.
Possible only bc his defense made a ton of plays. W/o a great defense, he loses that game by double digits.
lol i like peyton but defense did the work not peyton
Exorcised some demons vs the Chargers
Best Comeback Of All Time, Hands Down Eugene Satele
Almost as great a comeback, for Peyton anyways, as the TB comeback down 14-35. I say 2nd greatest cause defense played a big part in this come back
Another game in which Peyton Manning orchestrated his genius in the 4th quarter. Great clip!!!
that was all his defense and special teams, manning didn't score all the points
Defense bro. Defense

Not the most agile and not the strongest arm but my God he's probably one of the best Field general I've ever seen at the quarterback position
Unrivaled for dissecting defenses. Had the guy had a slightly more athletic body and arm he would have been unreal.
Mike Tirico has one of the greatest voices ever. He should've stayed on MNF
Yeah he was fun to listen to
Fortunately next year, he’s the new voice of Sunday Night Football with perhaps, Drew Brees or Cris Collinsworth again

8:59 satisfying td
I got to go to that game, decked out in Broncos gear. It was a very quiet ride on the train back to the Amtrak station.
Damn, back when the Chargers had a whole city of fans.....Great times!
I can't believe the owner hosed the city and moved to LA. What an ass.
Back when Denver was relevant. 6 years of losing seasons is tarnishing our winning heritage. I miss PFM. Lord send us a Savior 😂

Reminder that the Broncos have not made the playoffs since Peyton was at QB.
Please don't remind us hopefully that ends now that we got Russell Wilson.
Hasn’t LOL
Insane how San Diego led the division, then Denver won this game plus 11 straight
I watched this whole game and was mad at the beginning but was screaming and yelling with excitement afterwards!!
Tom and Peyton. 2 best QB's of all time. next is Montana. followed by Bree's and then Rodgers
This game was both vintage Peyton Manning and Phillip Rivers.
nah vintage peyton manning and rivers was rivers beating manning multiple times in Indianapolis
Who else thought of this after LAC blew their game to JAX?
I couldn't of been the only one lol
I remember watching this game and never really thinking Denver was going to lose, even when they were down 24.

It’s nice that there are so many MNF games with Jon Gruden so we can still listen. To him even tho the NFL exiled him.
That drive right after halftime for the touchdown was perfect by Peyton Manning.
And to think they are both retired now wow how time has flown by
One thing I miss is having Ryan Clady at left tackle because he was always such a secure protector
Can denver do the same this year??? Week 6 2022 2-3 MNF vs chargers. Can we repeat 2012??

However being down 2 points 12 seconds into the superbowl is far too much for him to overcome.
One of the best to ever play but, he was just flat out terrible when it really counted.
