[@emangamer1729]

I love how every time the media tries to ask him about his performance, he props up his team and says how great everyone else was. Class personified.

[@m3li55a5]

Yes, and that is why the team was so loyal to him and worked so hard in the AFC championship game and SuperBowl. He was a great leader

[@EduardoVerastica]

A true leader. I miss him 😫

[@john214351]

Just like Eli

[@ryu-ken]

That's why hes the greatest leader. He never takes the credit, he gives it to his teammates. He's humble and doesnt take the spotlight. And when the team does bad, he takes the blame. That's why he's the GOAT

[@jakemarsing2615]

The second act of Manning's career, from his release in Indianapolis to Super Bowl 50 is one of the most amazing stories in the history of sports.

I want a movie! Now who will play Peyton?

If only Barry Sanders had a similar fate.... get hurt, get traded.... and go to another team that would have given him the opportunity to rise to his skill level...

I know a player who made the Broncos practice team and he was standing at practice one day and Peyton came up to him and said; "hi, my name is Peyton. Welcome to the team." Like as if Mr Manning even needs to introduce himself but that just shows how down to earth and unself centered he is.

[@EduardoVerastica]

"I haven't played in six weeks but yeah, I think I can go in there and do something." What a humble guy.

[@GrassValleyGreg]

"Fumbles the damn ball." LMAO Coach Logan made an appearance in the broadcast booth

[@srayj]

Even watching this game on TV I could feel the electricity when Peyton jogged out there. Kub saw that the team needed a shake up and he knew that just putting Peyton on the field would elevate all of the players around him. Peyton’s leadership and professionalism won us that game and, I’m convinced, got us to the Super Bowl.

[@dondouville5054]

This is one of my very favorite Peyton Manning memories - rising from the athletic deathbed to lead his team to another come-from-behind victory, and get his team back just in time for one last post-season sweep before going out with another ring.

[@robjohn4842]

I remember watching this game.....aside from the SB win, nothing can beat watching Manning jog on to the field in that second half to take his final stretch of games.

[@lindseysummers5351]

rob john Absolutely. I've never heard the Denver crowd that amped up for a non-playoff game before. When he came out to that ovation and took the team right down the field, I knew the game was over right then and there. Red 98!!

[@kenyonferguson1243]

Nailed it

[@saltedllama2759]

The moment was so storybook; one of the most emotional in NFL history. He seemed done, and for all the records and stats, he wasn't going to get another Super Bowl ring. The team starts falling apart despite the talent, despite the know-how. The legend has been out for over 6 games, so he should be rusty, right? Then he comes in. He still has the brain to keep the offense in good plays, to audible into blocking schemes and good routes that sustain drives that either end in points or at least flip the field so that monstrous defense can do it's job with fresh legs and aggression. That's why he was still better than any young gun with a cannon arm and no nerve damage. Peyton Manning's mind and ability to execute the vision in that mind were enough to win games. Everyone credits the defense for carrying him, but if it weren't for him, the Broncos limp in as a 5 seed and don't win the Super Bowl.

[@piggy8761]

the dolphins winning in miami and the broncos comeback here gave denver the 1 seed wihtout that 1 seed, they were done

[@konnorrockkonnoisseur4970]

I still get chills remembering this game. Home field advantage on the line and getting jobbed out by a division rival, I can't describe the excitement of both myself and the crowd when 18 stepped onto the field again. It was like life was breathed back into the team, and we rode that way all the way to SB50. The Sheriff's last ride, what a time to be alive.

[@Archuro25]

Him coming back in gives me chills every time, thanks for everything Peyton.

[@ashuhlea]

I was at this game. Just seeing Peyton warming up woke that crowd up. And watching him jog out was a magical feeling. We miss him so much.

[@lindseysummers5351]

ashuhleaaa You know better than I do, but this video really does not do justice to the pop from the crowd as Peyton left the sideline and entered the huddle.

[@walterlv01]

Osweiler held the fort down but had pretty clearly petered out by this time - however without his OT wins over the Patriots and Bengals the Broncos would not have even been in the position for Peyton to step back in and take them all the way. He may not have amounted to much but they don't win the title that year without his contributions.

[@atomicslam1589]

Growing up watching Peyton is like everything else we got to witness, if you're lucky enough to be over the age of 40. The era and culture that developed guys like Peyton, Favre....was incredible in so many ways. I just watched a Dan Marino highlight the other day, and what was happening in the stands was as amazing as watching Marino himself. Such a great time in America, that these kids growing up will never know. KInd of like a listening to a cassette, or a record. It may not sound as polished....but, the character, and chemistry that was taking place, I wouldn't trade for anything. That said, rehab doesn't start to get expensive after a while...lol

[@saltedllama2759]

Peyton was the best QB, period. Rings are about the entire franchise being great (or cheating, if you're in New England). Manning has had multiple GM's and a revolving door of head coaches who made questionable decisions in the biggest moments, bad offensive lines, porous defenses, receivers who prove to be mediocre when they go anywhere else, and lousy run games after Edgerrin James. In the post-season, where he inappropriately gets far too much criticism, he watched as Caldwell called a timeout to give the Chargers a win, Austin Collie drop a 3rd and 5 so they had to settle for a field goal, Pierre Garcon drop a wide open pass that puts them up 17-3 at half against the Saints if it's caught, Gijon Robinson run the wrong route on 4th down, defenses that stay on the field for 40 minutes in a game, special teams that give up 168 yards to returners, scores 35 plus in a January game but watches it not be enough somehow, the highest percentage FG kicker in history to that point in Van Der Jagt miss a 29-yarder against Pittsburgh, and Rahim Moore surrenders a 77 yard touchdown against a team that had no timeouts with seconds to go. Yet he catches flak for an INT he never should have been in a position to force, and for his offensive line simply being overmatched by Seattle. No one remembers that he's 3-1 against Brady in AFC Championship games, put up the only 500 yard post-season offensive performance against a Belichick defense, and led perhaps the greatest comeback in AFCCG history (2006). He wasn't a different guy from regular season to post-season; a team's weaknesses from top-to-bottom simply get plotted against. No more trying things out, bringing up guys from the practice squad, expanding the playbook, making trades, fighting for division position, saving player's health... The playoffs are all the best teams being ultra gamey against one another, and Peyton Manning was often on mediocre teams that he shouldered. Brady, on the other hand, was the beneficiary of a great franchise that also happened to fleece the entire league for the better part of 18 years.

[@piggy8761]

brady also won a super bowl where his team game up 3 points and stopped the falcons from scoring more than 28

[@bee_lovin]

It was SO loud there when he walked back on. Just unreal 🤘

[@calicojack3628]

Tyler Polumbus (right tackle) also came into the game at the same time as Manning. He's said on his radio show that when he went in he thought the crowd was cheering for him and he was like "Whoa!" then he turned and saw Manning and went "Oh..."

[@josephsharer9015]

You know what’s more impressive compared to Peyton’s leadership? The fact that they turned the ball over 4 times and when Peyton took over at half the score was 7-6. Denver still had a one point lead. Give that defense some credit. I’m a Broncos fan. I’m not here for all that “Peyton Manning and the Broncos won the Super Bowl” energy. I’m here for that “Von Miller and the Denver Broncos won the Super Bowl” energy. Put some respeck on our name. That’s who really won it. Let’s be real. They won this game and the next 3.

[@gracialonignasiver6302]

Finally, seeing as how the Broncos defense was absolute garbage in 2013 and got carried to a Super Bowl by Manning's arm. Never forget that 51-48 win over Dallas in 2013. Broncos scored 51 points only to win by 3 because their defense was so horrible.

[@Rmexican25]

The dwyane wade and peyton manning and derek jeter era were one the greatest eras ever!

this was one of my favorite peyton manning moments ever the broncos were about to lose teh number 1 seed in week 17 and they weren't having a good game, peyton came and everyone felt a little warmer with him leading it he didn't run the ball but he lifted the psyche of the team and that showed we know the rest they won the super bowl with that legend defense, rip DT

[@churchld2524]

other than that San Diego game (which I still say wasn't Brock's Fault) Brock has played incredibly well the first half. So realistically i think they should start Brock and bring manning in the 2nd half. Think of about it, Brock runs kubiacks Offense really well, Peyton brings a different mentality to that offense, so why not have both of them go in the game, It would make it incredibly difficult for whoever they play to prepare for them, basically 2 different offenses. Some teams run a 2 running back system so why don't you run a 2 quarterback system, also you COULD think of it sort of like baseball, where you have your starting pitcher with a reliever that comes in to finish the game...

Peyton may not have been slinging it for big numbers anymore at that point (or really since the latter part of the previous season despite getting off to an even hotter start than his record breaking year), but without him, the Broncos don't go on to win the Super Bowl. Was their defense great? Yep. But it doesn't matter when the offense can't function. While Manning is humble and says he can't take credit for the running game, he is the one that knows how a defense is lining up, he is the one who knows what protections and blocking schemes to call, and he can play chess against an opposing coach better than anyone. I mean, he entered that game after 6 weeks off and reels off 20 consecutive points in no time, and the Broncos secure the #1 seed.

[@ronaldparaham7056]

Most important gam of the year for the broncos
