Peyton Manning
Peyton Manning, born on the 24th of March 1976, played quarterback in the National Football League for 18 seasons and earned the nickname "the Sheriff". Fourteen of those seasons were spent with the Indianapolis Colts, and four with the Denver Broncos. Along the way he won the league's most valuable player award a record five times. Yet the most common complaint about his career has nothing to do with the regular season. It concerns what happened when the playoffs arrived.
Why did a player who wrote so much of the record book stumble when the stakes were highest? What does a jersey number hanging in a school gym have to do with a quarterback's career? And what happened to a man famous for never missing a start when his own body finally stopped cooperating? The answers begin in New Orleans, long before the NFL had heard his name.
At Isidore Newman School in New Orleans, Manning led the Greenies to a 34-5 record across three seasons as the starter. He passed for 7,207 yards and 92 touchdowns, and he ran for 13 more. The team reached the postseason every year he played. In 1993 he was named the Gatorade Circle of Champions National Player-of-the-Year, and the Columbus (Ohio) Touchdown Club named him its National Offensive Player-of-the-Year.
The jersey he wore there carried a family story. His older brother Cooper had been forced to give up football because of spinal stenosis, so Peyton took number 18 in his honor. Younger brother Eli wore the same number once he became the starting quarterback. Newman has since retired it, and the jersey hangs in the school gym.
About 60 colleges recruited the second son of former NFL quarterback Archie Manning. The list included Florida, Florida State, LSU, Michigan, Tennessee, Texas and Texas A&M. He also played basketball and baseball in high school. One suitor stood apart from the rest: Ole Miss, the school where Archie had played and where Cooper had committed.
Eight days before signing day, Manning chose the University of Tennessee Volunteers and head coach Phillip Fulmer over the Rebels of Ole Miss. Many fans were surprised. His parents received a flood of angry phone calls and letters. By the time he left Knoxville, he had become Tennessee's all-time leading passer with 11,201 yards and 89 touchdowns, and he had won 39 of 45 games as a starter, which broke the Southeastern Conference record for career wins.
The start was far from glamorous. In the 1994 opener against UCLA, he was the third-string quarterback, and starter Jerry Colquitt went down with a season-ending injury on the seventh play. Manning handed off three times and was pulled. Two weeks later, in a 31-0 loss to top-ranked Florida, he completed his first collegiate pass. In the fourth game, against Mississippi State, starter Todd Helton was hurt, and Manning threw his first two touchdowns in a 24-21 loss. He kept the job for the rest of his college career, and his first start was a 10-9 win over Washington State.
Florida became his great frustration. In 1995 the Vols led the Gators 30-21 at halftime in Gainesville, then lost 62-37 after being outscored 41-7 in the second half. In 1996 Manning threw four interceptions in a 35-29 defeat, and in 1997 Florida won again, 33-20. That made three losses to the Gators.
In 1996, trainer Jamie Ann Naughright accused Manning of sexual assault, alleging that he pressed his genitals against her face during a foot examination. Manning said he had been playing a prank by "mooning" Malcolm Saxon, a cross country runner in the room. Saxon first backed that account, then stated in an affidavit and a letter to Manning that the exposure had been intentional and aimed at Naughright. He did not mention seeing any physical contact. Naughright settled with the university for $300,000 and resigned. She also compiled a list of 33 complaints about the school. In 2002 she sued Manning and three other parties for defamation, over a book Manning wrote with his father and author John Underwood that described her as having a "vulgar mouth". The court ruled there was enough evidence for a jury to hear the case. The suit was then settled, and the terms stayed confidential.
Manning finished his degree in speech communication in three years. Many expected him to be the top pick in the draft, yet he announced at Thompson-Boling Arena that he would return for a senior season. That year, down 20-7 to Auburn in the second quarter of the SEC Championship Game, he rallied Tennessee to a 30-29 win. He threw for 373 yards and four touchdowns, was named the game's MVP, and was hurt in the process.
The national title was within reach. If third-ranked Tennessee beat second-ranked Nebraska in the Orange Bowl and top-ranked Michigan lost in the Rose Bowl, the Vols would be champions. Nebraska ran for more than 400 yards and won 42-17. Manning finished as the runner-up to Charles Woodson for the 1997 Heisman Trophy, the fourth Tennessee player to place second. He swept the Maxwell, Davey O'Brien and Johnny Unitas awards and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and Omicron Delta Kappa in 1997.
Tennessee retired his number 16 in 2005, and a street leading to Neyland Stadium was renamed Peyton Manning Pass. In 2017, his first year of eligibility, he entered the College Football Hall of Fame. He joined Archie there, making them the first father and son both inducted as players.
In the weeks before the 1998 draft, all six experts consulted by Sports Illustrated judged Manning the better prospect than Washington State's Ryan Leaf. Five said they would take him first overall. Sid Gillman told the magazine, "this is a pro quarterback." Leaf had the higher quarterback rating, and the Colts' scouts initially preferred him. Still, the questions about Manning concerned his arm strength and his mobility.
Colts general manager Bill Polian had the final say, and the interview mattered. Manning arrived prepared for his scheduled meeting with the staff, while Leaf showed up late. Polian recalled Manning telling him, "I'll leave you with this thought. If you take me, I promise you we will win a championship. If you don't, I promise I'll come back and kick your ass." Polian also said Manning "far and away had the stronger arm, threw a tighter ball" than Leaf. Indianapolis made him the first overall pick. He became only the second Tennessee player taken first, after George Cafego in 1940.
The rookie season under head coach Jim Mora was brutal. In his debut, Manning went 21-of-37 for 302 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions in a 24-15 loss to the Miami Dolphins. The touchdown was a six-yard pass to Marvin Harrison. His first win came in week 5, 17-12 over Leaf and the San Diego Chargers. A 24-23 victory over the New York Jets brought his first game-winning drive, capped by a touchdown pass to Marcus Pollard. He finished with 3,739 yards and 26 touchdowns, set five NFL rookie records, and led the league with 28 interceptions as the Colts went 3-13. Their defense gave up more than 27 points a game, and they lost five games in which they had held a double-digit lead.
The following year, Indianapolis went 13-3 and won the AFC East. The ten-game improvement set an NFL record. Manning threw for 4,135 yards, and he earned his first Pro Bowl and Second-team All-Pro selections. In 2000 he led the league in completions, yards and touchdowns, with 357, 4,413 and 33, and the Colts went 10-6.
Then 2001 turned sour. After a 40-21 home loss to the San Francisco 49ers in which Manning threw four interceptions, Mora gave his famous line at the press conference: "Playoffs? Don't talk about playoffs." The Colts finished 6-10. The offense scored the second most points in the league, but the defense allowed the most, and Mora was fired. Tony Dungy arrived as Manning's second head coach in 2002.
Manning's career postseason record as a starter was 14-13, set against 186-79 in the regular season. Early in his career, commentators observed that "his record-breaking stats were written off because of the Colts' postseason failures." The numbers bear out why. The 2002 Colts lost a Wild Card game to the New York Jets 41-0, with Manning throwing two interceptions, which left him 0-3 in the playoffs to start his career.
A first playoff win finally came in the 2003 Wild Card Round, 41-10 over the Denver Broncos. He threw 377 yards and five touchdowns for a perfect passer rating. The next stop, the AFC Championship against New England, ended badly. The Patriots' top-ranked defense intercepted him four times and sacked him four more. His passer rating of 35.5 was the third lowest of his career, and the Colts lost 24-14.
New England was the obstacle that kept returning. Manning first faced Tom Brady in 2001, in a 38-17 Colts loss. On the 30th of November 2003, the Colts trailed the Patriots 31-10 late in the third quarter. Manning threw three touchdown passes in six minutes to tie it. Trailing 38-34 near the end, Indianapolis had three plays from the one-yard line. On fourth down, Willie McGinest stopped Edgerrin James, and the Patriots won.
The 2004 season opened with a 27-24 loss to New England after Mike Vanderjagt missed a game-tying field goal in the final seconds. It ended at Foxborough with a 20-3 Divisional Round defeat, Manning's seventh straight loss to the Patriots there. His passer rating that day was 69.3, a season low. The first road win over New England came in 2005-40-21, in his eighth attempt.
That 2005 team began 13-0, but its playoff exit against Pittsburgh was bizarre. Manning threw what looked like a game-ending interception to Troy Polamalu, but the call was overturned, and the NFL later admitted it was wrong. The Colts then lost a fumble that Nick Harper seemed ready to return for a touchdown, until quarterback Ben Roethlisberger dove and tackled him by the leg. Vanderjagt then missed a field goal from the Steelers' 27-yard line as time expired.
The breakthrough came in the 2006 AFC Championship against New England. Asante Samuel returned a Manning interception for a touchdown, making it 21-3. Manning answered with 32 second-half points, finishing with an 80-yard touchdown drive for a 38-34 win. It remains the largest deficit ever overcome in a conference championship game.
Then came Super Bowl XLI, a 29-17 victory over the Chicago Bears. Manning completed 25-of-38 passes for 247 yards, a touchdown and an interception, and he was named Super Bowl MVP. He was the first Colts player to receive that honor. After the win, he restructured his contract to save the team $8.2 million in salary cap space. The Patriots returned the next year, unbeaten, in a game billed as "Super Bowl 41 1/2", and they won 24-20 after two late touchdowns.
Down 35-14 to the defending champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football in 2003, Manning had under five minutes to find a miracle. He threw a 28-yard touchdown pass to Marvin Harrison on 4th and 6, and the Colts recovered an onside kick. With 1:41 left, he drove 85 yards for the tying score, and a 29-yard field goal won it in overtime, 38-35. No other team in NFL history has won after trailing by 21 points in the final four minutes of regulation.
The 2004 season produced the numbers that still define him. Against the San Diego Chargers in week 16, facing 4th and 4 at his own 26, Manning waved the punt team off the field. He hit Reggie Wayne for 19 yards, then finished the drive with a 21-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Stokley. It was his 49th of the year, passing Dan Marino's 48. Overtime brought a 34-31 win after a 15-point fourth-quarter deficit. For the year, he posted a then-record 121.1 passer rating, and he threw only 10 interceptions. He received 49 of 50 MVP votes. ESPN ranked it the second greatest passing season of all time in 2013. Football Outsiders called it the best play-by-play season by a quarterback. The Colts scored a franchise-record 522 points, with three receivers topping 1,000 yards.
In July 2008, the 14th, Manning had surgery to remove an infected bursa sac in his left knee, and he missed most of training camp. The Colts started 1-2. In week 5 they trailed Houston 27-10 in the last five minutes, then scored three touchdowns in 2:10 to win 31-27. It was the first time an NFL team had won in regulation after trailing by 17 in the final five minutes. Later, on Thursday night, he completed his first 17 passes against Jacksonville, and 23 straight counting the previous week. The NFL record is 24. That November, he passed Marino for the most AFC Offensive Player of the Week awards. He was voted MVP for the third time, tying Brett Favre.
The 2009 season brought a fourth MVP, breaking the record outright. In week 15, his 23rd consecutive regular-season win broke Jim McMahon's mark of 22. The Colts reached Super Bowl XLIV against Manning's hometown New Orleans Saints. They led 10-0 after a 96-yard drive that tied the longest in Super Bowl history, ending in a touchdown pass to Pierre Garçon. But Matt Stover missed a 51-yard field goal, and the Saints went ahead 24-17. With 3:24 left, Tracy Porter intercepted a pass intended for Reggie Wayne and returned it 74 yards for a touchdown. On 4th and goal in the last minute, Wayne dropped Manning's pass. The Saints won their first Super Bowl.
In 2010, in week 9 against the Eagles, Manning made his 200th consecutive regular-season start. By the end of the season, he had made 208 straight, breaking Gene Upshaw's record. He completed an NFL-record 450 passes on 679 attempts and threw for a career-high 4,700 yards. Indianapolis had won the AFC South seven times in eight years, and he had led the team to nine straight postseason berths. His last game as a Colt was a 17-16 Wild Card loss to the Jets, in which he went 18-of-26 for 225 yards.
On the 15th of February 2011, the Colts placed their franchise tag on Manning, and on the 30th of July they signed him to a five-year, $90 million contract. He had made clear he did not need to be the highest-paid player in the league. By then he had already undergone neck surgery on the 23rd of May.
The NFL lockout kept him out of the team's facilities. Reluctant to have witnesses to his recovery, he worked with the Colorado Rockies' trainers at Coors Field in Denver. He could not complete his throwing motion, and his arm strength had faded. In late summer, an MRI led doctors to tell him he needed spinal fusion surgery. They could not guarantee, at his age, that he would play in the NFL again.
On the 7th of September, the Colts ruled him out of the opener against Houston. That ended his streak of 208 consecutive starts, or 227 counting the playoffs. The team signed Kerry Collins out of retirement as the interim starter. The second operation took place on the 8th of September. Owner Jim Irsay did not believe Manning would play that season, yet the Colts kept him on the roster rather than place him on injured reserve. By mid-December he was throwing again, and teammate Joseph Addai said his passes looked "game ready." He never played a snap. Without him, Indianapolis went 2-14.
That record handed the Colts the first overall pick in the 2012 draft, with highly rated Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck available. Manning was due a $28 million roster bonus. The team dismissed vice-chairman Bill Polian, who had drafted him, as well as general manager Chris Polian and head coach Jim Caldwell, as the first steps toward rebuilding. Manning was released on the 7th of March 2012. At an emotional press conference, he told fans, "Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. I truly have enjoyed being your quarterback." Irsay announced that no Colt would ever wear number 18 again, although it was not formally retired until the 8th of October 2017. In the NFL Top 100 Players of 2012, his peers still ranked him 50th, despite a season on the sidelines.
John Elway, the retired Hall of Fame quarterback who now ran football operations for the Denver Broncos, helped win the most sought-after free agent of 2012. Manning visited the Arizona Cardinals and the Broncos, and the Miami Dolphins and Tennessee Titans had also pursued him. After meeting with Elway and head coach John Fox, he chose Denver. On the 20th of March 2012, he agreed to a five-year, $96 million contract. Number 18 had been retired for quarterback Frank Tripucka, but Tripucka gave Manning permission to wear it.
His Broncos debut came on a Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He went 19-of-26 for 253 yards and two touchdowns in a 31-19 win. In the third quarter, a 71-yard pass to Demaryius Thomas was his first touchdown for a team other than the Colts. It was also the 400th of his career, and he reached that mark faster than Marino or Favre. In week 6, the Broncos trailed San Diego 24-0 at halftime, then scored 35 unanswered points. By late October, ESPN said Manning had "silenced the critics" about his arm strength. He threw for 4,659 yards and 37 touchdowns in 2012. After a double-overtime Divisional Round loss to the Baltimore Ravens, 38-35, the Associated Press named him Comeback Player of the Year.
The 2013 opener against Baltimore, the defending champions, brought seven touchdown passes and no interceptions. No player had thrown seven since 1969. By week 3, he had thrown 12 touchdowns in three games, passing Tom Brady's 2011 mark. In week 7 he returned to Indianapolis for the first time since his release. The Colts played a tribute video, and the Broncos lost 39-33. In week 16, a 25-yard pass to Julius Thomas gave him 51 touchdowns on the season, passing Brady's record. In the finale he played only the first half, and he ended with 55 touchdowns and 5,477 yards, which beat Drew Brees' record by a single yard. Denver scored 606 points, the first team ever to pass 600.
The Broncos beat New England 26-16 in the AFC Championship, Manning throwing for 400 yards. Super Bowl XLVIII was a disaster. Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson had idolized Manning and attended one of his passing camps as a teenager. On the first snap, center Manny Ramirez sent the ball sailing past Manning's head into the end zone, and Denver gave up a safety. Despite completing a record 34 passes, the top-ranked Broncos offense had no first down until the second quarter and no points until the final seconds of the third. Malcolm Smith returned one of Manning's two interceptions for a touchdown and was named Super Bowl MVP in the 43-8 Seattle win.
On the 28th of August 2014, Manning was fined $8,268 for taunting D. J. Swearinger in a preseason game. In the opener against the Colts, a 31-24 win, he became the second starting quarterback, with Favre, to have beaten all 32 teams. On the 5th of October 2014, he threw for a career-high 479 yards against the Arizona Cardinals, including an 86-yard touchdown to Demaryius Thomas. His 500th career touchdown pass went to Julius Thomas in a 41-20 victory.
Those passing marks would stand for years. He held the career touchdown record from 2014 to 2019, and the career passing yards record from 2015 to 2018. The 2015 season was statistically his weakest, yet the Broncos' No Fly Zone defense carried them, and he finished his career with a Super Bowl victory. He had played in four Super Bowls under four different head coaches: Tony Dungy, Jim Caldwell, John Fox and Gary Kubiak. In 2021 he entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
