Manning Leads 21 Point Comeback in 4 Minutes

In 2003 Peyton Manning lead the Indianapolis Colts into Raymond James stadium for a showdown with the defending Super Bowl Champions, the Gruden lead Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With just over 3 minutes left the Colts found themselves down by 21 points. That's when The Sheriff took over.

[@DontActuallyWannaDie]

It's cool to see others have good memories with their dads while Manning is on their team. My dad and I are Denver fans, and during his time with them we would watch pretty much every game. I remember watching Denver set a field-goal record (I think it was 63 yards) and my dad was like "you're watching history right now". Always stuck with me. My dad and I both have Manning jerseys, and we used to wear them together while we watched the Broncos play, though unfortunately mine doesn't fit me anymore. Really good memories... Hell, even Wilson is giving me good memories. When Denver went against Kansas City the first time this year, we expected a blowout. The game wasn't on so I was watching some show with my brother while my dad watched a podcast covering the game. It was bad at first; it was like 20-0 KC, but then suddenly each update my dad gave was more and more positive and he seemed excited to tell me and my brother each time they scored a touchdown. I think that'll stick with me too, and even if Wilson isn't doing too hot right now, it's still nice to have a good memory associated with this hell of a season.

Little did I know at the time Manning would be the QB for my Broncos next Super Bowl victory. I wouldn't trade the Broncos fan arch over the last 25 years with any other team in pro sports. 4 Super Bowls, 3 victories, Elway, Plummer, -Cutler- , Tebow, Manning. The 2010 Tebow year was the most fun I've ever had watching football. Tebow had an immeasurable impact on the game and it was his success that led to Manning choosing the Broncos in 2011. Now, with Russell Wilson (Jake Plummer 2.0) Broncos fans have a new hope.

[@kimmiller4438]

I agree but the thing is he was in leaping position and if he runs up like that and still makes contact on his way up it’s a flag. I don’t think he made contact tho

[@JackBlack-py4en]

Dominic 29 right, only on way down did I see contact. Seems like a terrible call unless it’s indeed makeup for the earlier terrible call on the kickoff scrum.

[@kazolar2000]

he made contact on the way down, so by the rule it's leaping, though it's a dumb rule since he didn't gain an advantage, it's not the idea of the rule since he didn't use another player to catapult himself, but he did brush against another player coming down, so .. I guess it's the right call, but I would think they could call it that way on basically every field goal attempt.

[@Will-ox4vj]

Leaping call was great, he wasn't on the line is scrimmage at the snap so it's a penalty. Gotta be on the line.

[@Hallenhero]

For all those saying the leaping call was BS, did a little research into the rule book from 2003 and found this: Rule 12, Section 3, Article 2 of the 2003 Official Playing Rules of the National Football League defines the unsportsmanlike conduct/leaping penalty as follows: "Clearly running forward and leaping in an obvious attempt to block a field goal, or try-kick after touchdown and landing on players, unless the leaping player was originally lined up within one yard of the line of scrimmage when the ball was snapped."

for years I've called that jumping call bs. but ive counted 3 opportunities the bucs had to close it out in regulation on top of the second onside kick they magically recovered. Now I feel like they deserved to lose

[@leogetz3570]

That leaping call was BS, and I'm a Colts fan!!...lol But there was also a BS running into the kicker call against the Colts earlier in the OT period. Refs were calling garbage on both teams the whole night. You're absolutely right about the Bucs having missed chances to close it out

[@blakethornsbrough1528]

The leaping call is correct as the rule was written. They stated the rule of being behind the line and contacting someone either going up or down it's a penalty.

@@blakethornsbrough1528 Yes, that leaping call was technically correct, at that time, by the letter of the law. The NFL changed the rule the next year, so that if the "leaping" player makes contact on the way down, it wouldn't be a penalty.

Everyone talking about how the officiating favored the Colts is ignoring that bogus roughing the kicker call that gave the Bucs a first down and the onside call that clearly went to Indy. But hey don’t let the truth get in the way of your narrative. It was just a poorly officiated game against both sides.

[@HitchProductionz1837]

But both of those examples are officiating that favoured the colts so what exactly is your point?

[@austrianpainterhidingfromt5920]

I know, the first thing I said was "what, it was against the Bucks?" Living here in Tampa, I would really like to be a Bucs fan, especially since Bucs fans seem to be some of the most fanatic people out there, but unfortunately the last few years of Bucs football have really prevented me from being able to do that. The Peyton Manning, Tony Dungy, Marvin Harrison era Colts however, where my favorite team and in my opinion, one of the best teams in NFL history. I remember many times when they came back in the second half from a huge deficit, the fourth-quarter specifically.

[@maryakopyan3224]

[@maryakopyan3224]

I loved Marvin Harrison as a receiver too. 2nd greatest to Jerry Rice of all-time in my book, but you don't have to trash the extroverts just to pump Marvin up. I love the no shit talking part too, but there's nothing wrong w/ dancing in the end zone to enjoy success if you're an expressive personality, especially if you've got rhythm. As long as there's nothing obscene. The game's more fun, and life's more fun w/ a full spectrum of personalities, rather than a homogeneous mixture. And everybody's different in all walks of life. Some have to get excited to feel free, enjoy what they do, acquire confidence, and be at their best, while others like to keep the emotions to themselves, harvested, channel their strengths, are perfectionists, but being one instead of the other doesn't make you right or wrong. Michael Irvin had a ton of on-field success being a supreme extrovert, Isaac Bruce was somewhere in-between. Bruce loved to participate in group celebrations like the bob-&-weave, but nothing individual. Irvin did a whole-lot of both. Jerry Rice was kind of medium in that regard like Bruce. For Harrison, being reserved was to his liking, and worked best for him, but variety is a good thing. People preach acceptance and tolerance all the time when it comes to race, sexuality, religion, gender, politics, stature, body type, but how about unique personalities?
