- In what is widely considered to be the best Brady-Manning game of all time and one of the greatest games in NFL history, Peyton Manning engineers an 18 point comeback, the largest in conference championship history, culminating in a 3-yard touchdown run by Joseph Addai to take the lead at 38-34 with 1:02 left to play. Tom Brady would have one last chance to drive his team to victory, but was intercepted in Colts territory, killing the drive and sending Indianapolis to the Super Bowl. Manning had never beaten Brady in a postseason game up to this point, and was a combined 2-6 against him leading up to the contest, therefore earning this game the name "Manning's Revenge.'
From this point The patriots never beat peyton manning in the playoffs again.
Wow. Yeah. That’s right. Peyton was better at beating brady and the pats in the playoffs and brady was better at beating peyton and his team during the regular season.
small sample size - 2 games
@@animalmother4 After 2004, Brady was 0-5 in the playoffs against the Manning's
@@rios9000 right but his comment was referring to peyton. the pats played peyton in the playoffs in 2013 and 2015 seasons.
I mean it was only twice more lol
Helluva game! Loved the ending, with Tom Terrific getting intercepted! He was so cocky. The bastard thought his Pats were invincible. Loved it even more when Giants ruined his perfect season.
I'll still comeback and watch this all these years later. Lol
Marlon Jackson made the first tackle in the game, he also made the last play of the game with the interception
This game was insane & I'm from Indianapolis IN. I'M GLAD PAYTON NOT ONLY BEAT TOM BRADY BUT WON US A CHAMPIONSHIP THANK YOU PAYTON MANNING.
You see what Peyton had for a run Defense?
One of the Greatest Colts/Manning Games ever played right here. Actually probably was the GREATEST AFC Championship 🏆 Game ever played to be more like it! Just saying 🤷🏻♂️🗣️💯
I miss seeing good fullbacks
Here after Cheifs vs Bengals
lover taylor swift
I'm glad they got rid of the Push Out rule.
Agreed. You’re in or you’re out(period)
Agreed
I forgot all about that rule !!!!!! 😂
yeah that rule was retarded now that I think about it. got my pack in the playoffs in 03 tho lol
Some of the throws manning made in this game were unreal
Facts
Career*
Best playoff game of his career. Overall, pretty sub-par in the postseason
Proved his greatness en route to his first championship!
He’s got heart. After he threw that pick 6, I thought the Colts were done for. Goners
As a Colts fan, my favorite game ever. A couple of things that struck me watching this:
1) Manning was so unbelievably accurate on some of these throws
2) I miss Dallas Clark, that dude was a beast
3) I still got nervous at the end, especially when Reggie Wayne almost fumbles
Robert Hiland If Reggie Wayne fumbled it, it would’ve never counted cuz of roughing the passer
Dallas Clark is such a Fox
As a Colts fan, This is my Fav game ever as well.
It is so hard to beat good teams with the run D we had.
Manning's passes were so much more accurate compared to Brady's.
@@Jay-ot3cq despite he had a picksix?
Sweetest words I’ve ever heard “Colts are going to the super bowl”. Man.
How about " The Colts win the super bowl"?
@@brandonohara4122 That's even better
It's crazy to see how much arm talent manning used to have before the neck injury if only that never would have happened to him and he might still be playing like brees and brady
No fucking way lol
@@anthonyhutchins2300 And how the fuck do you know this? Manning loves the game and could take hits. If not for his neck injuries, the odds are he would have kept playing. Don't sit there and act like you know what you're talking about because you clearly don't.
@@anthonyhutchins2300 Manning had never missed one game before he had his neck surgery.
If the manning family didn’t exist Tom Brady would have like 10 rings
Well, I'm so glad the Manning family exist in this world. Because of Archie, both Peyton and Eli are true legends of Football. No one knows if another Manning will get drafted
In theory 11
Yeah literally 11 rings
@@davidsantoselmellodelamarg4923 Cooper son Archer is a fucking beast too. Depends where he goes for college. I think LSU
@@davidsantoselmellodelamarg4923 Peyton Manning is a legend and possibly the greatest quarterback of all time. Eli Manning IS NOT A LEGEND!!!
Manning’s precision tho. Omg
SMH
In Indianapolis this game is more revered than the super bowl 2 weeks later.
"Marlin's got it, we're goin' to the super bowl!!!"
This pretty much was the Super Bowl that year. Colts and Pats were the two best teams.
@@obersports Chargers were the best team that year actually, they just choked in the playoffs against this very Patriots team, losing due to a fumbled interception and a last second missed field goal.
@@yetz2291 Colts weren’t going to be denied.
Every damn time the afc championship came it was a Super Bowl with these 2 teams. I hated they were in the same division and wished they would’ve met in Super Bowl all those year lol
@@yetz2291 I agree. Also I would argue that the Colts the year before were much better and chocked against the Steelers in the divisional round. (Nick Harper, who got stappwd in the thigh by his GF the night before the game, recovered a Jerome Bettis fumble (oat the goal line on what looked to be a game sealing td, and appeared to be headed toward the end zone, but Big Ben made just enough of a play to get him to the ground, and then Vanderjagt missed the game winning field goal)
And the 2009 Colts who lost to NO in the SB . Were better than both (14-0 before Caldwell benched Manning and key starters in the final 2 games)
Thanks to Manning brothers the Brady brothers don't have 9 superbowls
11 Superbowls... Peyton beat him in the 06/13/15 AFC championship games and Eli in the SB 07/11
Thanks to the MAnning Brothers, Brady doesn't have 11 super bowls. Eli Beat him in 2 SBs, and Peyton beat him in 3 AFC champs. Remember, QBs don't play each other.
Tommy Rosati comments like this show pure ignorance
@@jamessmith-pq9zr ??? Qbs don't play each other, I stick by that. When are peyton manning and topm brady on the same field at once??
Im glad we won the super bowl that year but to me this was the best game of the entire season
Felt better than the Super bowl win, god I hated those patriots😤
@@montellrose5765 we were so close lol
This was basically the superbowl. Let's be real here. The bears lead by Rex Grossman isn't that much of a threat
@@loganpaul3654either way if it was the vs the 2006 Saints, Manning would’ve torched them.
I remember watching this game and saying to myself, "If Peyton is an elite QB, he'll comeback and win." And he did. Great game.
I will never forget this game, I cried like a baby when the colts intercepted that throw!!
Me too!! I'll never forget ❤
Intercepted! Marlins got it! We're going to the superbowl! We're going to the superbowl!
I don't have too many memories of beating New England but I'll always have this one. What a game..
I had colts -3.5. What a game 😂
I'm not even a Colts fan but I always cheered for Manning...Being that I was young and watched him seince his college day I felt a certain attachment to him and to finally see him get over the hump was special almost emotional reflecting on the highlights now....
So many years of frustration in my my city. First we lose Wayne Gretzky and the Racers to a tax cheat from Canada that sold the team to pay his lawyers. Then the Pacers finally make it to the NBA Finals only to meet up against Shaq and Kobe in their prime and lose in 6. Plus the malice in the palace disaster. And then the Colts get stopped time and time again by Tom Brady and The Patriots. It felt like Indianapolis would never win a championship in any sport. Until 2006.
The whole “Manning chokes in the off-season” falls apart with this game.
Don't get me wrong I think its bs to blame just Manning for those losses. But honestly, the label only died for two years. It came right back after Tracy Porter's pic six in the SB against NO. I wish Manning would have had a big WR to complement Wayne or Harrison. Indy's smaller WRs got pushed around too much in the post season. And manning was a statue in the pocket. If they weren't where he wanted the ball to go originally, he wasn't the type to buy time
@@mariomanningfan Manning’s career playoff record is 14-13; definitely many games his teams should’ve won and also his teams were one and done in the playoffs 9 times
@@devinjerryfreedomisfree4599 we'll never really know at this point but i wonder. Were those 9 one and dones the result of Manning and his WRs dragging a bad team through a weak AFC South to the post season where they were exposed to actual competition? Or was it that Manning's legendary preparation was everyone else's playoff mode and once everyone jumped into the playbook like he did, he had no extra advantage athletically or otherwise? Though he's still my favorite QB, I have definitely come to realize as I age, that he is on a short list but there were better QBs. Though indy was a perrineal 6-10, 4-12 team before Manning arrived, a regular 12-4/13-3 with him, and now they seem headed back to the "getting a wildcard is a great year" kind of team. Like the cavs with/without lebron
I think the colts coaching staff should get a lot of the blame. At some point you have to completely change the gameplan/playcalling.
@@benmaloy9757 yeah but honestly Manning WAS the offense. Nobody Polian or irsay hired could tell Manning what to do. Dungy made it work but it def took an understanding coach to lead a team with Peyton.
My goodness I’ve been binging your vids for the past day and a half. It’s so rare to find someone who uploads good games with the original commentary and not with Deion annoyingly shouting every 8 seconds. Good shit dude, hope you can continue this and maybe sprinkle in a few Giants games along the way :D
IMO, I think this game is equivalent to the Cowboys vs 49ers 1992 NFC Championship, talk about changing of guard
This game made the colts-patriots rivalry
i like the 2009 reg season game where the pats went for it on 4th and 2
Disagree we played so many great games before this one I think this put an element of parity on the colts side as the Patriots dominated the rivalry before it
Uhhh no. Thats why this game is coined 'Mannings Revenge.' The title implies there was a rivalry leading up to this game. Which there definitely was.
You must be younger
this shit was a rivalry waaaaay before this game.
Being from Indianapolis, this was the best thing to ever happen to the city. Colts4lyf
Manning and Brady played against each other 4 times in AFC Championship Games. Manning won 3 of 4. Head to head, on the grandest stage possible, Manning was the GOAT.
That' s one of the reasons I always liked the conference championship games more than SB.
There are great SB games no doubt, but the AFC and NFC finals are special because of the many devision rivalries.
I hope Brissett is watching these highlights!! The Colts are an underdog team always have been always will be! Let's dig deep and prove we are a force boys
The Wayne near fumble still give me a heart attack
If it makes you feel any better, if he lost the ball it would have been called back with the roughing the passer penalty.
This was the Superbowl. And yes, Manning is the GOAT.
lol, sure he is
This the Game that made the Patriots go out and get Moss and wes.
Brady is the goat
Peyton manning= 🐐
If manning had Brady's defense the yeah. He probably gets more rings.
Oh, eat that bitter pie, New England. I remember that game. Best game I have ever watched.
pats would've been confused after the game..they finished the game with less points than the other team
We're still winning. What have the Colts done since 2006?. Fuck the Colts, enjoy your participation Banner!.

#BOWTOTHEDYNASTY
Wow I forgot about a couple of things. That throw to Marvin Harrison on the 2 point conversion was perfect. I also forgot that Freeney was the one that forced Brady to throw the interception at the end.
My all time favorite Colts game.
Good ol defense wins championships, that int by Jackson sealed the deal
Peyton Manning was the equalizer, hopefully Mahomes does it.. Brady has enough rings already
so much for that
Better than the actual SuperBowl!
6:12 ew that was an absolute dime
The linemen scored almost all the TD 😂😂
Who’s ready for the colts to do it again
With a good QB, better WR's and pass rushers..then they'll be ready
This was the superbowl. Whoever won this was taking down the Bears.
I’m a colts fan, I remember this game live. At halftime it seemed that once again Brady would get the best of manning. That comeback was one of the best memories of my childhood. Man I miss seeing an elite QB leading our team
Hopefully Richardson will become one 🙏
If we’re talking about talent, Peyton Manning is the best QB of all time and it’s not close. The only argument against him is his subpar legacy which would’ve been better if he hadn’t spent so many years, pretty much his entire prime, with a defense that was anywhere from subpar to all time bad.
6:11 - the Colts "make the wrong move at the right time" - going for 2 to tie in that spot was risky because if they don't convert it changes the trajectory of the game. And the play wasn't good - it probably had about a 10% chance of success but one HOFer to another HOFer made it work and it was game on from there to the end.
It’s a debate over which one of these quarterbacks are the best but it’s not a debate that when these two played it resulted it some of the most thrilling and exciting games ever.
One qb dinked and dunked, one did not
You're kidding yourself if Brady is an "exciting" or "thrilling" player
james smith bruh what Brady had no one to throw deep to this year watch the next year with moss that was exciting
What was frustrating to watch about the difference between the teams these two were surrounded with (including the coaches):
Brady has a massive pocket around him at all times, and never has to waver from standing straight up with feet planted. When he throws, his receivers are somehow always WIDE open with endless green around them on the screen.
Manning has less than 1.2 seconds before defenders are in his backfield, and has to throw incredible passes into tight spaces to move the ball, but he somehow does it.
Peyton was the best QB, period. Rings are about the entire franchise being great (or cheating, if you're in New England). Manning has had multiple GM's and a revolving door of head coaches who made questionable decisions in the biggest moments, bad offensive lines, porous defenses, receivers who prove to be mediocre when they go anywhere else, and lousy run games after Edgerrin James. In the post-season, where he inappropriately gets far too much criticism, he watched as Caldwell called a timeout to give the Chargers a win, Austin Collie drop a 3rd and 5 so they had to settle for a field goal, Pierre Garcon drop a wide open pass that puts them up 17-3 at half against the Saints if it's caught, Gijon Robinson run the wrong route on 4th down, defenses that stay on the field for 40 minutes in a game, special teams that give up 168 yards to returners, scores 35 plus in a January game but watches it not be enough somehow, the highest percentage FG kicker in history to that point in Van Der Jagt miss a 29-yarder against Pittsburgh, and Rahim Moore surrenders a 77 yard touchdown against a team that had no timeouts with seconds to go. Yet he catches flak for an INT he never should have been in a position to force, and for his offensive line simply being overmatched by Seattle. No one remembers that he's 3-1 against Brady in AFC Championship games, put up the only 500 yard post-season offensive performance against a Belichick defense, and led perhaps the greatest comeback in AFCCG history (2006).
He wasn't a different guy from regular season to post-season; a team's weaknesses from top-to-bottom simply get plotted against. No more trying things out, bringing up guys from the practice squad, expanding the playbook, making trades, fighting for division position, saving player's health... The playoffs are all the best teams being ultra gamey against one another, and Peyton Manning was often on mediocre teams that he shouldered.
Brady, on the other hand, was the beneficiary of a great franchise that also happened to fleece the entire league for the better part of 18 years.
"What was frustrating to watch about the difference between the teams these two were surrounded with (including the coaches):

When he throws, his receivers are somehow always WIDE open with endless green around them on the screen." - Are you seriously making the case that Brady had the better offense around him this year? Really? The Colts had 5 pro-bowlers that year while the Pats had 2. They had 3 all pros on offense. Manning always had better talent offensively from 2001-2015 even when he went to that loaded Broncos team. Hell let's be honest the Pats defense didn't even have a player as good as Freeney/Bob Sanders in 2006. The Colts were supposed to win this game.
"In the post-season, where he inappropriately gets far too much criticism, he watched as Caldwell called a timeout to give the Chargers a win" - Was that the game where both LT and Philip Rivers missed and Peyton still lost? Remember the game where he threw 5 interceptions - 3 of them being inside the 7 yard line?
"Pierre Garcon drop a wide open pass that puts them up 17-3 at half against the Saints if it's caught" - Manning threw the pick 6 that lost them the game. What are you talking about lol?
"the highest percentage FG kicker in history to that point in Van Der Jagt miss a 29-yarder against Pittsburgh" - Oh right the game where the refs did everything in their power to hand the win to Indy? The same game that never should've been in doubt if Jerome Bettis just protects the football at the 1 yard line. The game where Peyton only could muster up 18 points at home in the RCA dome.
"against a Belichick defense, and led perhaps the greatest comeback in AFCCG history (2006)" - The Colts were supposed to win that game. They had the better defense at that point in the playoffs and had the far better offensive fire power as well as being at home. The fact that Brady almost won a shootout with his best WR being Jabar Gaffney speaks volumes. Of course the next year when Brady finally got some weapons as opposed to scrubs he set records. Brady was always better. Brady also saved Belichick's career. Check Belichicks record as a HC without Brady. He's trash.
"He wasn't a different guy from regular season to post-season" - Actually he was. Go check the advanced stats. He was significantly worse in the playoffs. Manning was great but he is who he is.
"Brady, on the other hand, was the beneficiary of a great franchise that also happened to fleece the entire league for the better part of 18 years." - Fleece the league in what way? Sure the Pats were a smart team but many of those Patriots teams weren't that talented and usually had mediocre skill position players. If Bill hadn't been a penny pincher they probably would've won a couple more titles.
I wonder if Brady only player from this game still playing today. Didnt Vinatierri retire recently?
8:40 Manning side steps the rush, jiggers up a step and throws a dime. What-a-play.
I believe its pronounced jiggas
I love how the ball just casually rolls away from a huge pile at 1:12 😂😂 It’s hilarious!!
Great game...two of the top 5 QBs of all time going at it.
Mitch Tribisky will be a top 5 QB of all time!!!
James Rando lol
Brady is maybe top 10. Not top 5. System QB who had great defenses.
Matt Mason your a idiot
@@mattmason6953 brady is number 1 lmao what a clown
It’s so weird seeing how fast he throw the ball here. Then in 2015 how slow his throws where. Same with his motion of throwing changing. That injury really messed him up.
Peyton is goat
not even close, delusional
@@earthpart3 he's right
I wonder which 11 Patriots thumbs this one down?
It started with Marlins name being called. And it ended with....
HA!!! GOODBYE TOM SHADY! AND I'M SO HAPPY YOU'RE WITH TAMPA BAY NOW.
This was one of the greatest AFC Championship Games I’ve ever seen. It was a couple years in the making. From not being able to beat the Pats, to that horrible loss to Pittsburgh the year before with kicker missing the FG. To being down 21-3 and not rolling over saying here it goes again.
God, that Pittsburgh loss.
And let's not forget that if Wayne ends up losing that ball, it's yet another horrible loss for Peyton at the hands of Tom Brady.
The narrative about Peyton was never true, but imagine if somehow, a Wayne fumble beat the Colts. You better believe the idiots on the media would have continued the "Peyton can't win the big one!" talk, with a large dose of "Sure, he might have led them back, but it was his fault they were behind in the first place!"
Come to think of it, why do any of us even bother listening to the sports media? This is an industry that still pays the likes of Skip Bayless and Colin Cowherd.
@@rappcu Idiot kicker apparently got liquored up again.
There's some analysts saying Reggie might not make the hall . All I can say to the voters , is watch 10:09 of this video . That play alone should get him inducted , how does somebody have the instinct to do that ?
Hey.
Here after the Chiefs blew a 21-3 lead yesterday
I was at this game and was angry for like 75% of it lol. What a comeback. I go to maybe one game a year and was lucky enough to go to the 45-44 wild card game in 2013 vs. the Chiefs and unlucky enough to be at the Browns game this past season with those two horrible calls at the end.
As a die hard Colts fan I would like to thank Brady for one thing and one thing only, going to San Diego and upsetting the Chargers thereby bringing the AFC championship to our dome! I can objectively say that the Chargers were the best team in the league that year and there was no way we would have beaten them in their stadium.
I am thirteen and watching this for the first time. Despite knowing the outcome, my heart DROPPED as he fumbled then recovered his own fumble
Brady might call himself the goat, but I'm sure he would love to forget this game.
Holy shit Reggie Wayne could’ve been the reason Brady has 7 rings
No he wouldn't, that same play had roughing the passer
How do you not have the play where Reche Caldwell was completely wide open, didn't even have a defender on him from the start of the play and he missed it?
Oh men, I miss so much my Colts.
As a colts fan, this was so perfect in illustrating what he was dealing with ESP against NE. Defense getting carved up and then several key special teams plays. He had some bad games no lie, but this happened more in losses than anyone but colts fans might realize
Mahomes Allen already >>>>
Glad they took out face guarding and a push out.. Too many things going in favor for the offense
The 2000s Colts deserve more respect.
Change my mind.
As a colts fan and Hoosier who grew up on the far north side , I am so damned proud of this moment...
46th and keystone here.. the Wayne near fumble uggh!!! But deciding to take 3 at the end of the 1st half momentum changed with the drive, thinking back so glad we didn't go for it, although Wayne was interfered,
This was one of the first big, “instant classic” football games that I watched. Will always remember it. For sure more memorable than the Super Bowl ended up being that year.
I’m sorry if i was Jackson I’m taking that too the house
I love watching the patriots lose in the playoffs
cause you're a jealous loser
@@earthpart3 pussy bum
@@earthpart3 little bitch
Our special teams play, particularly KR team, was always suspect back then, but this was as complete of a team as there ever was during the berth of the passing era. NE was very good too, but I truly feel this team and the year prior was so much better than any other NFL team. You can see glimpses of it during this game but Bill had a great game plan and was the difference for NE that made them so competitive. Player for player the Colts were a step ahead better. Easy to say in hindsight, but also in hindsight this game should not have been close. Colts should have ran away with it .... very talented team.
So true! Colts were the better team except for KR. The year before they were the best team in the NFL except for an idiot kicker. :)
7:01 thought the refs were gonna kiss
People forget and correct me if I'm wrong that the colts played 3 top 10 defenses in the playoffs this post season run against the chiefs ravens and bears and two of those games were in rainstorm conditions against the ravens and bears. The only game against an evergae defense was this one. So when people bring up the sub par numbers you have to also take into account the caliber of defenses he was facing
Wow that’s a good analysis!! The year they won the SB happen to be my first year watching them and I was 9 years old! It was just the crazy plays Peyton and Marvin would make us what made me fall in love with football
Brady even then was petty and left without shaking the man's hand smh
21 to 3!
The best experience as a colts fan to this day
You are not no Colts fans stop it
This was the real Super Bowl
These were the 2 best teams that year. The Bears were much worse than these 2 teams.
jason lejuan idk if that would be possible LOL
Yeah, the NFC was awful in 2006. The Saints were a 2 seed with 10 wins. A few years later, some NFC teams weren't even making the playoffs at 10 wins.
Bears had 13 wins. Colts and Pats had 12.
@@Nerd0208 The Bears feasted on the easiest schedule.
That was true many years. This wasn’t even the Colts best team but it was good enough. Colts or Pats we’re going to the SB several years. Everyone else was playing for 3rd.
Without a doubt the greatest football game I've ever witnessed. "Marlin Jackson!!!"
What a squad the Colts had! Manning, Wayne, Harrison, Addai, Clark, Sanders, Bethea, Mathis, Brackett, Hayden, Freeney. Just wow!
NFC was so weak in 2006, this game decided who would win the sb that year
3:53 definition of helmet 2 helmet, but Rhodes was super tough, KILLED in SB… Nap or Nothing 317 what!!!!
Tom Brady carried a team with no wide receivers to the AFC Championship. He was awesome that year given how little he had around him. I mean, he turned Reche Caldwell into a #1 WR, a guy who never broke 400 yards in any other season he played.
Three Weeks since Darrent Williams the Cornerback of the Denver Broncos was MURDERED.
I miss these matchups. Peyton is my goat
Joe burrow just tied Peyton Mannings record for largest comeback in championship round.
Love both these men. always had Peyton above Tom and still do as a pure qb, I forgot how calm Tom was playing qb was though, also feels odd to just watch him a pats uniform. Mahomes or whomever, I don’t give a damn they will never rival these 2 men to me.
Good game yes. One of the greatest in NFL history, not even. It was an offensive show, not a lot of defense with 72 points between the two teams scored. Plus there wasn't any elements they had to overcome. I can think of so many games that were better. Best Brady - Manning game of all time, I'd give you that also.
Manning vs Brady was a pretty good rivalry. Obviously, overall Brady is the Goat with 6 SB and beat Manning. However, out of all the QB Brady faced, Manning gave him the most fits
That 2pt throw to Harrison is so ridiculous both in throw and route adjustment. That play to the pylon is called over and over again. The DB had it read perfectly. Somehow both QB and WR understand to take it 5 yards deeper in the end zone with a little lob to split CB and S. You would never write that up because it's so ridiculous. But they did it and made it look easy.
Peyton was something else during his prime. Brady obviously is the greatest of all time, but I enjoyed watching Manning more, for whatever reason.
Vinietieris revenge
As a lifelong Colts fan who watched this game with two extremely annoying trash talking lifelong Patriots fans this is, and might always be, my favorite game of football ever.
watching stuff from these old games reminds me how much the refs obviously favored the Patriots especially during the post season . just made the games looked so rigged
