Good memories. The one I will add was 2001, I believe, where he broke his chin and played through it. Also, I think that was the same game where he faked spiking the ball, ran for a first down and got called back because he even faked out the refs.

So many good ones already said, so I'll just add a few more new ones.

1) 2007 comeback vs the Pats at LOS. The 4th and 2 game.
2) It was either 07 or 08 in Oakland. Peyton sealed the game on a naked bootleg that he did on his own.
3) One of his first commercials. It was for a football game for Xbox and he was listening to a tape recording and trying to learn to trash talk. It turned out he wanted to learn so he could talk trash when playing online.

This reminds me...JMV and Mike Chappel were talking today and reaffirming their belief that Peyton will eventually come back in a senior leadership role in the front office but he feels he's just not prepared yet and isn't willing to assume a role he's not prepared for....In the meantime he's doing work to learn the biz to get ready .JUst another example where when he does something he wants to do it to the best of his ability.

JMV is having him on his show tomorrow at 5pm if anyone wants to catch it.

Peyton was masterful on that final drive, he marched them down the field almost too quickly. The moment I knew they were winning it was Reggie's air fumble and subsequent self-recovery. I remember that second of real time seemingly lasting 15 minutes, the ball seemingly freezing at its highpoint in the air, and Reggie fighting off three Cheaters to get the ball back, and he was the only Colt who could have. The funny thing about that sequence is its irrelevance, as Tully Banta-Cain was called for roughing the passer on the play. Then The Block happened, Saturday laid Wilfork out and created a running lane for Addai that he could've driven a Mack truck through. That moment was such a great moment, because the Cheaters were down 4 and Tommy Boy needed a TD drive to win the game, something he'd never done in the postseason before. Then the interception happened, and simultaneously 60,000+ of us jumped and screamed and celebrated. I remember being one of the last people to leave the stadium and walking out into the second craziest downtown Indianapolis I've ever seen. That was, by far, my favorite game and memory of the Peyton Manning era.

The McAfee self-recover from 2014 and the 2001 Manning - Dilger Harrison TD are here also.
