Peyton Manning Runs a Bootleg for TD vs Cowboys

Manning tricked everyone, including the cameraman, when he ran the ball in for a touchdown against the Cowboys.

[@kevlarunderwear22]

he didn't even tell his teammates, that's why it played out so real

[@BlackPantherFTW]

Is that true?

[@berstuck]

@@BlackPantherFTW yeah, that was his strategy for these. naked bootleg.

[@gamerzleague7658]

@@berstuck so its a PA Bootleg where u roll out AND RUN A TD

[@lawrence112]

@@berstuck yes he made a check to the back letting him know PI. But he didn’t audible anyone else

[@kevlarunderwear22]

Yes it is true. Peyton was so clever that he knew if he didn’t tell anyone it would look even more realistic…

[@joecash5663]

This is the best play in the history of the NFL. Literally 20 years in the making for that one touchdown

[@troydixzon9771]

He scouted that

[@Am-Not-Jarvis]

The TD run took 20 years too

[@Luchinitube24]

I try to revisit this clip at least once a year lol

[@vexthegreat9167]

Peyton didn’t tell anyone he was keeping the ball. No one knew, not even the RB knew he was gonna keep it. He said he learned that from his dad.

[@samgilley3160]

You can actually the the RB hesitate once he hits the line and look back at Peyton with confusion.

[@seangarner7188]

This is false. It was a designed play.

[@ComaAlpha]

@@seangarner7188 designed by Peyton's dad. The running back showed obvious confusion

[@DealerCamel]

I just read the Players' Tribune article by Demarcus Ware that referenced this play- turns out Manning audibled into the bootleg to get back Ware for a defensive trick Ware pulled a few years back.

[@slylancey]

Considering Peyton almost NEVER runs with the football, this is literally the best play call possible when in this part of the field

[@masaki7606]

Some say Peyton Manning is still running towards the Endzone.

[@jonmolina948]

And it still took him a half hour to get into the endzone.

[@ruthlessgoat3702]

and 35 minutes for a defender to realize the bootleg and watch him lumber in.

[@cptredhorse5156]

@@ruthlessgoat3702Exactly lol. Don’t gotta be fast, just gotta be faster than the defense 🫡 lol

[@shadowstarz3651]

Who cares if he was slow? It still worked! XD

[@def8732]

Peyton reminds me of that slow ass turtle racing against bugs bunny. Bugs could never win no matter how fast he was.

[@AceofDlamonds]

Except Peyton isn't a slow QB..

[@Ashijinx]

V Ling Yeah, he is lmao

[@austonwiker3803]

@@Ashijinx he ran the same 40 yard dash as Patrick machines at the combine(4.8) look it up, it was the neck surgery and age that made him slow

[@JJoel.]

LFG

[@BC-ny3zb]

@@JJoel. I'm a Broncos fan but when I saw it I got hyped🤣🤣

[@luannenickerson8046]

The main difference being that Peyton never keeps the ball himself. He always hands it off or throws it. I guess you have never actually watched him play.

[@MrJahka]

I’m amazed he went 5 years without scoring a rushing touchdown. Only Peyton could get away with so little mobility. Being the best pocket passer of all time will do that for yoy

[@ctaylor8003]

it just took him that long to get there. He was trying

[@sunnyboy6830]

He got there so slow

[@matthewowens455]

Sunny Boy he new he had it noone was even close to him why run full speed when you can just lightly run

[@отпирайте]

matthew owens mmh, and will also look more badass going slower

[@TilleyisClutch]

Old man; slow, old legs. Gigantic forehead which hosts football's biggest brain. When you can sell a lie so damn hard, it really is just mind over matter.

[@dylinwelty]

Yep and still has more rings then mr Rodgers does

[@jasonkraatz9574]

He got there slow so that it gave everyone time to realize he just fooled the world 😂

[@kevinchicas8427]

9yrs later.. Cowboys do that play to the Bucs!💪🏽💪🏽

[@harmanbans]

Right!!!

[@judsinkollman2405]

even if peyton did hand it off the RB would’ve scored regardless

[@judd935]

Style points my dude

[@tony4534]

Watch it again.

[@schizowallflower]

The star of this play was Knowshon Moreno for selling the hand-off so well.

[@Spanky-ju6rc]

It’s because he thought he was getting the ball, THAT’S why it looked like that.

[@og2687]

Dak just did that

[@userplayer-hf1od]

yup

It was like a 1958 Plymouth Fury lumbering into the endzone. Beyond epic.

[@mojubaxxx]

Thanks for the memories

[@eldiesel4593]

This was on in the weight room, and they had lined up on 3rd, then Manning called a timeout right before this, and during the timeout I said to a guy near me "Why does he never boot these? He could walk in backwards." And then he booted it.

[@jonathaneitmann3876]

Accidentally calling it has to be a hell of a feeling 😂

[@dnicelightborne892]

When you're the best QB to play the game you walk in the end zone humbly after shaking and breaking cowboys ankles.

[@JakeDaMistake]

He already was 😂

[@JakeDaMistake]

Set every record in the book

[@voiceofreason2674]

His back was shot by the end of the 2010 season. But the juice they put in his back plus resting in 2011 gave him about 2 and a half more years of being physically close to his prime self. Definitely could not throw heaters and take beatings like he did in his prime. But modern medicine gave us Broncos Peyton and he was a beast, like Broncos Peyton and Drew Brees were my favorites to watch cuz they really just called their own plays every time. And combo that with the anti defense rules changes at the time and you saw them have almost pure success with anything they tried.

My wife and I were at this game. Watched Romo through for over 500 yards, but the entire stadium knew he'd throw a pick on the last drive. Of course, he did. 51-48, Denver.

This is my favorite play by Peyton because it illustrates his attention to detail. The first time I saw him run it was in college against Alabama. I once read that he would sell the play by telling his running back that it was a handoff and at the last second pull the ball away and run the bootleg. Here is the original play from college: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4e2f3mcnMySatk
