Tom Brady vs. Peyton Manning - Showdown!
NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
Doesn’t it seem like a small part of the National Football League is turned upside down?
What?
You know how you expect things to be a certain way and all the sudden the opposite is taking place?
What are you talking about?
The Pats and Colts, you know.
No, enlighten me. All there is to see is two of the best teams playing each other again.
Yeah, but think of it. Peyton is having a solid season with the returning champs, while Brady is having a record breaking season with the team that has been coming close lately.
While past arguments tended to focus on the glaring omissions from their resumes — Manning had the impressive numbers and awards but no championships, while Brady had the titles but numbers that paled in comparison — the league’s top two quarterbacks now seem content in reversed roles. source
What if Brady goes on to break Peyton’s touchdown record?
Brady, the three-time Super Bowl winner, is throwing touchdowns with as much regularity as a pitcher throwing fastballs. Through eight games, he has 30 TD passes, 19 short of Manning’s record, and a 136.2 passer rating, well ahead of Manning’s best of 121.1.
Brady is on an unbelievable roll tossing TDs to Randy Moss, Stallworth, Welker, etc. What a crew. What a roll.
“As a quarterback, you’re always trying to get into that rhythm, that zone, whatever you want to call it,” Manning said. “You are throwing passes before they’re coming out of their breaks, you anticipate where they’re going to be. Every play that is called, you kind of feel it’s going to work, it’s going to be a touchdown.”
Beyond the personal battle in this game between Tom Brady and Peyton Manning lies that fact that the winner will be a leg up in winning home field advantage in the playoffs.
The home field is why your intrepid author is calling for the Colts to win this game.
Tom Brady has the edge in the series over Peyton Manning 6 - 3.

It was an awesome game. So glad we won even if it was only by 4 points.

Brady looked very sharp on the last two drives and the Pats are loaded with receivers.

the better football team because they usually beat the pats when the game is on the line.An if you do recall the only time that the colts lose to the patriots is when that it is in NewEngland.
