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
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.
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
@@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.
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....
@@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.
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)
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’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
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 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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
The ending of this game is one my earliest memories. I was a 6 years old Pats fan and I just remember watching the final colts TD play and then going to bed crying 🤣
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.
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
@@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.
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.
Even though I was Colts fan, I didn't see that game. I was at the interment of my dad at a veteran's cemetery. I rejoiced later at the defeat of the NE Patriots.
My biggest memory from this game was late in the game the camera showed Brady on the sideline and he looked so furious. I remember nothing else from this game other than the Colts came back from a big deficit.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
It just amazes me. We were sooo close. Sooo close and we were a wild card team at that. And to think we 99% likely would’ve won the super bowl since we already beat the bears during the regular season of 2006 😔
I hate when the stat nerds say Peyton didn't play well in this game because he had a 1 to 1 touchdown to interception ratio. It's so frustrating when people say that kind of stuff when so much game footage is available at our fingertips, this is definitely one of those times where you have to rip up the stat sheet and watch the film to really appreciate how great Peyton played. I've certainly never taken it for granted.
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.
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.
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.

It just amazes me. We were sooo close. Sooo close and we were a wild card team at that. And to think we 99% likely would’ve won the super bowl since we already beat the bears during the regular season of 2006 😔
They need to call this the Hump Game. It was all gravy for Mannings career after this game. Even tho we lost to the saints :(
I hate when the stat nerds say Peyton didn't play well in this game because he had a 1 to 1 touchdown to interception ratio. It's so frustrating when people say that kind of stuff when so much game footage is available at our fingertips, this is definitely one of those times where you have to rip up the stat sheet and watch the film to really appreciate how great Peyton played. I've certainly never taken it for granted.
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. :)
Peyton is goat
not even close, delusional
@@earthpart3 he's right
Peyton Manning was the equalizer, hopefully Mahomes does it.. Brady has enough rings already
so much for that
Peyton was something else during his prime. Brady obviously is the greatest of all time, but I enjoyed watching Manning more, for whatever reason.
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.
Manning with the clutch genes.
"Intercepted by Marlin Jackson! Colts are going to the Super Bowl!"
Damn moments like these make this sport the most popular in the states.
I wonder if Brady only player from this game still playing today. Didnt Vinatierri retire recently?
This was the superbowl. Whoever won this was taking down the Bears.
HA!!! GOODBYE TOM SHADY! AND I'M SO HAPPY YOU'RE WITH TAMPA BAY NOW.
It was so fitting that Peyton had to go through New England to get BOTH of his rings.
The power of habit. ❤️✌️
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.
