Tom Brady–Peyton Manning rivalry

American football quarterback rivalry

The Tom Brady–Peyton Manning rivalry was a series of games that took place between and involving two quarterbacks in the National Football League (NFL): Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.[1][2][3] It is considered by many to be the greatest individual NFL rivalry of all time, and has been compared to other legendary sports rivalries, such as Magic–Bird in basketball, Ali–Frazier in boxing, and Messi–Ronaldo in soccer.

Both quarterbacks are considered to be among the greatest in NFL history. Brady won seven Super Bowl championships in his career (as well as five Super Bowl MVPs), while Manning won two Super Bowl championships (and one Super Bowl MVP) in his career. [4] Contrarily, Manning would go on to win a record five MVP awards in his year career, while Brady would win three in his year career.

Both quarterbacks also made the Pro Bowl fourteen or more times in their careers,[5] and both were selected to the NFL th Anniversary All-Time Team in Brady and Manning are the only starting quarterbacks to win Super Bowls with multiple franchises, and are believed by many as the best NFL players of the s and s.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]

Background

Tom Brady played for the New England Patriots from , when he was the th selection in the sixth round of the NFL draft, through [14] After Drew Bledsoe was injured in week 2 of the season, Brady got his first career start against Peyton Manning's Indianapolis Colts, winning the game 44–[15] Brady was the Patriots' starting quarterback until the team's final game of the season, with the exception of , when he tore his ACL in the opening game, and , when he was suspended for the first four games of the season due to his alleged involvement in the Deflategate scandal.[16] Brady appeared in a record ten Super Bowls (nine with the Patriots, one with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers) and has won a record seven (six with the Patriots, one with the Buccaneers).[17]

Manning was drafted by the Colts in the NFL draft as the number 1 pick, and played for the Colts until the team's final game of the season, as a neck injury caused him to miss the entire season.[18] The Colts finished 2–14 that year in his absence and secured the #1 pick in the draft where he became expendable once consensus top prospect, quarterback Andrew Luck of Stanford, was available.

During his time with the Colts, Manning led them to two Super Bowls, winning one.[19] On March 20, , after fourteen years with the Colts, Manning signed with the Denver Broncos, for whom he played until his retirement following the season. He led the Broncos to two Super Bowl appearances, winning Super Bowl 50 in what would be his final game.

Like Brady, Manning led his new team to their first Super Bowl win in nearly two decades.

Rivalry

Peyton was someone that I always just admired as a quarterback, as a leader of a team. I always looked up to Peyton because he was a little older than me and always doing things the right way.

His team was always in it. I know our teams had a rivalry against one another, but when you went against a Peyton-led team, you were going against the best team in the league.

– Tom Brady in [20]

Manning and Brady played each other seventeen times,[21] with Brady winning the head-to-head series 11–6.

From to , the two quarterbacks met at least once every season, except , , and ; while Brady's Patriots and Manning's Colts played each other in and , Brady missed the season and Manning missed the season, both due to injuries (Brady with an ACL tear suffered Week 1 and Manning with neck problems). The two quarterbacks did not meet during the regular season (Brady's Patriots did play Manning's Broncos, but Manning missed the game due to a plantar fasciitis injury), though they met in that year's AFC Championship Game.

Brady won the Colts–Patriots series 8–4[22] and also won the Broncos–Patriots series 3–2, though Manning's two wins with the Broncos both occurred in the AFC Championship Games in and Brady led the series in Foxborough 8–2, while Manning led the series in Indianapolis/Denver 4–3.[23]

The two quarterbacks met five times in the NFL Playoffs, in which Manning won three of them (all five were won by the home team, as Brady's two wins both came in Foxborough).

Four of the five match-ups were in the AFC Championship Game, with Manning winning three of the four, one of the games with the Colts () and another two with the Broncos (, ). The winner of each of the playoff match-ups went on to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. Four of the teams, Brady's and Patriots and Manning's Colts and Broncos went on to win the Super Bowl, while Manning's Broncos lost the game.

Manning and Brady participated alongside Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson in the rematch of The Match: Tiger vs. Phil as a charity fundraiser for COVID pandemic relief.[24][25]

When Manning was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in , Brady attended his enshrinement ceremony and quipped on Twitter that he needed "to make sure (Manning's) really done.

Can't risk this guy coming back"[20] Also at the event were Bruce Arians and Tom Moore, both of whom coached Manning in Indianapolis and Brady in Tampa Bay.[26]

Next year acceptance speeches will probably shrink to four minutes.

February 9, Considering his subsequent success, many analysts have called Brady the best NFL draft pick of all time. Manning went to Isidore Newman School in New Orleans, Louisiana, where he led the Greenies football team to a 34—5 record during his three seasons as the starter.
