Back when Colts/Patriots was Must See TV
Now I’m gonna be enjoying my sleep when they play this year
What? Does Big Mac/Minshew not tickle ur fancy?
@@johnthecroutonSteps on my balls maybe
😁@@jordan12118
@@jordan12118 to think anyone would get up to watch the Frankfurt colts-pats matchup, in your dreams
Now a bygone era, Manning vs Brady, and Al Michaels and John Madden calling the game. Miss those days
Al Michaels sucks big time!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely legendary combination all around!
For real man.
Funny how Manning doesn't even come up in the GOAT convo anymore
@@KaiserSlowplayyea weird how that works very similar to Kobe vs Lebron rivalry.. When both was playing it was debated back and forth who better Peyton or Brady it was dam near 50/50 in those days.. Once Manning and Kobe retired it’s like both their career were never appreciated the same smh each year they both seem to so call drop on the all time list.. To us fans that watch both Kobe and Manning play live we knew at their peaks wasn’t too many we considered better all time..
I’ll be telling my kids about those manning vs Brady battles from the 2000s and early 2010s with tears in my eyes
Just watch it with them 😎
Dude relax, it's just entertainment.
There were some cool matchups in those years
There was potential for a luck/brady rivalry... we know how that turned out
@@sosa3559Luck always seemed to play best against the Chiefs. We were robbed of a decade of Luck vs Mahomes. Darn injuries.
Honestly after watching this my only conclusion is that Marvin Harrison really was that dude and a very deserving HOF WR
💯
He’s top 2 or 3 in my opinion. If you need a catch, throw him the ball
Ummm… his playoff stats are too off-base w/ his regular season stats to be even Top 5 ever. To go from 14,580 yards & 131 TDs in the regular season to 883 yards & 2 TDs in 16 playoff games is probably the biggest differential between regular season & playoffs for any player of his caliber in NFL History.
Billy Boy - that's what happens when your team inflates it stats by playing most of its regular season games indoors v. substandard defenses. When you get outside in January versus the likes of Baltimore, New England and Pittsburgh it ain't so easy. Especially when Marvin's QBs in the playoffs had 22 TD passes to go along with 20 Turnovers. Take away those aberrational games against the woeful 2004 KC and Denver Ds and it looks even worse. Heck, in that year's AFCC Peyton completed just as many passes to Ty Law as he did to Marvin!!! 😉
@@PedroMartinez-tt7lr You continuing to stalk me in the replies is a bad look. Manning’s #s targeting literally anyone aside from Harrison being the exact same in every stat as his regular season numbers - save TD% - sort of puts a dent in your argument that Manning was somehow the cause. I’m sure we’ll run into each other again, hopefully by then you’ll have completed your transition through puberty.
Who would've guessed that two of the greatest QBs in NFL history would combine for 5 picks in one game
Hmm… manning only had one pick vs Brady’s 4 picks. To Brady’s defense, only a couple were primarily his fault. The other 2 were off the hands of a defender or a receiver.
fr, brady was sold, only 1 was actually his fault. Every other was off the hands off a receiver or rb
@@JordiRuns sir this is far too reasonable a response for the internet
@@bobafett8768 i figured lol
Who would have guessed this Patriots team would go undefeated the following year. But lose the Superbowl
Marvin’s touchdown in the third quarter was simply iconic. Burned into my brain as a 12 year old Colts fan at the time.
Same but I was 13. How lucky we were to have witnessed absolute greatness growing up
Yup I was 13 too as a colts fan.I took every loss so personally. My face was glued to that screen. Hated the patriots.
I wish Brady had a receiver like him and Wayne for his whole career 🙄 Pats got mediocre wideouts not Hall of Famers yet Brady still the 🐐
I'm a Pat's fan, but that was a remarkable catch
Good I'm glad you losers have been in purgatory since
Mannings anticipation and touch are immaculate. even on incompletions its insane. Brady throw to Ben Watson on the last drive was out of this world
I miss Brady and Peyton so much
I may be biased as a lifelong Colts fan but that Marvin Harrison TD in the third quarter is still the greatest catch I've ever seen.
Definitely a spectacular catch! But the greatest catch ever? No way..
I wish Brady had a wideout like him for years!
@@mohegansonhe did, moss. Edelman, gronk,
@@yeldarb1880 Brady GOAT
it wasn't a catch . bro , are you kidding me ?
The Colts ended up getting home-field advantage in the AFC championship game that season because of this win. Very reminiscent of 49ers/Cowboys in 1994
Hey your in another classic video
And your right just like 49ers cowboys from the 90s
Boy was Manning amazing. Yes Brady rightfully is crowned as the best ever. But Mannings ability to see the game unfold in front of him and pick apart defenses was beautiful.
Cheaters do not get crowned "The greatest of all time"
@@vordt4139Cry. Brady is the GOAT. Cheating wins. Get over it
@@josephayers7395He never cheated.
REGULAR SEASON Manning was Something else
@@Mrd9960 I know I like to troll the people who cry cheating by saying yeah and? Cheating wins
That Marvin Harrison Catch Is Top 5 All Time
The spike was even better 😂
@@GenericBoringName428😂😂
I love how he knew he had caught it, and the spike which is something Marvin had never done. Loved the fire from him at the perfect time. I would love to know exactly what he was saying.
😂
Absolutely filthy! Spike was nice too 😂
Man do I miss seeing these types of rivalries. I hope we get games like this in this decade
I think the Mahomes Vs Burrow has the potential to be like Brady Vs Manning. I feel like the Chiefs are like the early day Brady Pats... and Burrow is like Manning in the early 00's trying to get that 1st ring.
@@ddcoddjob11that’s actually a really good comparison
@@amanmaratha10 I agree
@@ddcoddjob11 couldn’t agree more. This is gonna be legit
@@ddcoddjob11well not anymore. Joes career is over
Brady and Manning.. does it ever get old? Will we ever get a QB rivalry like this again in our lifetime?
It’d take two quarterbacks whose teams meet up with some consistency (so same conference, possibly division), and who put up a good passing display consistently.
So no?
@T0chback 👆
Closest thing we have now is mahomes vs Josh Allen
Purdy vs Mahomes 🔥🔥
Those colts teams were unbelievably loaded on offense QB: Peyton RB: Edgerin James (Addai after 05) WR: Marvin Harrison WR: Reggie Wayne WR: Brandon Stokely TE: Dallas Clark Not to mention one of the best o lines in football. Absolutely amazing teams for about 5-6 years in a row.
I’d argue the Seahawks were a better line in 05, but other than that you’re pretty dead on.
@@fortynights1513 it’s tough to argue against having Walter Jones and Steve Hutchinson on the same side of the line. They were a dominant group for sure
Peyton Manning made all of their careers except Edgerin James. If they were with an average quarterback for their careers you wouldn't even know who they are.
@@GeordieHalma Lol you’re a complete moron if you actually believe believe this. They were all first round picks for a reason. Peyton surely helped their careers, just as they helped his.
@@GeordieHalmaIs that a joke? Marvin Harrison? Have you ever even played the sport?
I remember being in middle/high school and always looking forward to this rivalry. I still like football but I miss the days when defense and RBs were important and having traditional pocket QBs like these guys
Defense definitely isn't as good as it use to be but who cares about if the best qbs are pocket or dual threat guy's like allen and Jackson are doing incredible plus they're still doing plenty of work from the pocket
WHAT AN ERA. I knew at the time it was special but to hear John Madden color commentate and watch Brady v Manny just makes it so nostalgic.
16:50 - How did Brady fit that into triple coverage?!
Cause he’s Tom Brady 💀🤷🏾♂️
The greatest rivalry in the history of the national football league. These 2 guys would meet each other again in late January in a classic AFC championship game that has been remembered
Nah give me Steelers-Ravens
Greatest rivalry in my opinion is either Steelers-Ravens or Commanders-Cowboys
easily too manning vs brady all time classic
*Five* interceptions!! 😂😂😂
In hindsight this game decided home field for the AFC Championship game. This was stretch where we had this game, 2006 AFC champioship game. The year after that we had SB 41.5 where both teams were undefeated.
The 2007/41.5 game is big time underrated. I’m a niner fan, but this rivalry was MUST SEE tv. Top games imo: 2003 Reg season (Willie McG goal line stand) 2006 AFCCG 2006 reg season 2007 reg season 2004 Reg season week 1 2009 reg season 2003 AFCCG
A 12-4 team being the "worst" division winner is absolutely insane. Feels like the AFC has been stacked since the turn of the century.
@@goldenstatewarriors9418 2006 was the peak. You had: 1. Chargers 14-2 2. Ravens 13-3 3. Colts 12-4 4. Patriots 12-4 That conference was insane
@@InYourHouse316 2004 has a case: 1. Steelers (15-1) 2. Patriots (14-2) 3. Colts (12-4) 4. Chargers (12-4)
@@goldenstatewarriors9418 you are 100% correct. I'd say all of those teams in 04 outside of the chargers were better than 06. Good time to be a football fan.. those were some fun years.
Boy was goin toe to toe with manning with Troy Brown and Reche Caldwell as his top 2 receivers😂
Miss this kind of football. There wasn’t a flag on every other hit. No PI on every other missed throw. And it didn’t get better than the quarterback wars of the Brady-Manning 2000s.
Pre-Goodell NFL was a beautiful thing
These were some of the greatest gladiator battle ive ever witnessed coming up as a teenager it breaks me that its all over sometimes 😭
Same man, football just doesn’t have that same spark anymore. Or maybe I just grew up but it was magical watching this as a kid
Goodell destroyed the NFL
One of the very few times Brady played bad against Indy
We so happy to see the Colts go 2-0 vs The Pats that season. Their defense stepped up. Great memories as a Colts fan.
2006 AFC Championship was one of the greatest games in NFL history, glad the Colts were able to win the Super Bowl that year. - Steelers fan.
@@LiamDeege exactly 💯
@@LiamDeegeThe conference championship round is full of close games, and that was one of them
@@LiamDeegeim not as a bears fan why tf does Peyton mannings only sb win until getting carried in 2015 gotta be on us man 😭
This rivalry was truly one of a kind, with the closest one to this rivalry at this moment being mahomes-burrow, but I’m very fortunate to watch those 2 legendary quarterbacks play
I think you mean Mahomes v Allen.
A classic rivalry game. Lifelong Colts fan.
@10:35 😂😂I love the uncharacteristic spike from Marvin.. Idk what pissed him off but it was hilarious from the wind up to it smacking the NE defender in the face lmao 🤣 then he got amped about it lol Miss these days
That shi was funny af 😂
That was Mike Vrabel that it hit too 😂
@@PlayboiCartiUnrealeased on god😂
@@DFossss 😂😂 the way he threw the ball and it hit the ne player shi you only see in a cartoon
Take me back in time the golden years of football 😭🏈
Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison duo is just un matched. Marvin Harrison doesn't get near the recognition as he should he was a great receiver.
Watching these guys duke it out usually twice a year, once in the season and once in the AFC chip was so fun to watch man
Brady was protected so well he didnt even bother to strap his chin strap all the way or wear mouth protection 😂
All-time AFC Title games, Manning was 3-2 vs Brady. Of course Brady has many more rings. As great as Brady was.....having a comfortable pocket on about 90% of his dropbacks didnt hurt.
He's 3-1 in afc championship games against brady not 3-2 and Manning also had incredible o lines. He literally has the lowest sack% of all time so don't bring up o lines like other great qbs didn't have one
Iconic. Two bad asses, all time greats. Two goats. We will never see this again
Burrow v Mahomes.
You know what I miss most aside from the talent and the rivalry? The respect of the game being a job…no 20 second TikTok dances in the end zone or individuals getting excessive taunting calls for acting like foolish, entitled children after a decent play.
We all know Tom’s the best player and qb of all time. But the second best qb is either Joe Montana or Peyton Manning. Looking back it’s crazy to think we watched the best and arguably the second best qbs battle it out every year for more than a decade. We had Jordan vs LeBron every year, sometimes twice a year. God we were spoiled….
Yep Tom Brady is The Muhammad Ali of Football at Our Very Eyes.
Wow, what a game! How does Manning make those passes and then how does Reggie Wayne make the catch? These teams would march right through today's NFL.
Tom Brady vs Peyton Manning called by Al Michaels and John Madden, as big a TV event as it could possibly get!
The style of how a QB plays has changed so much since then
Wild watching Laurence Maroney not spend 15 seconds dancing behind the line before a gain of a yard and a half.
I'm so glad I got witness this legendary rivalry.
The offensive Hall of Fame talent around Peyton compared to Tom is insane. Like Doug Gabriel, Reche Caldwell, and Laurence Maroney? Vs Harrison, Wayne, and James?! With 8 games in a dome. That alone makes what Brady accomplished even more impressive 🐐 and it ain’t even close.
Do me a personal favor Colts and make the Patriots suffer an ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL loss! - Steelers fan.
Manning’s biggest win to that point. He got a bigger one a couple months later.
i truly miss this rivalry 💯 Brady vs Manning just hit different 🔥
This quality is amazing for ‘06 looks like 2016
That handshake at the end - nothing extra. They really were two prime competitors.
Kids today will never understand how special this matchup is. These are two titan teams colliding. I thank god I got a chance to experience this in my lifetime
Still convinced the Patriots would have won the Super Bowl that year if Deion Branch didn’t hold out and get his ass traded…
Seems like the mid 00s had the best rule set, the game was not soft, special teams had more potential to perform big plays, QBs were protected but not untouchable, etc
And now Marvin Harrison’s son looks like he could be the best receiver of his generation
17 years ago, we had Manning V Brady. Matchup of the elite. This Sunday we have Minshew v Jones. 😅
Manning vs brady... greatest qb rivaly of all time!! And its not even close
That penalty v. Asante Samuel when he got the pick was totally bogus. Refs bailing out Manning
Those players....Those coaches...Those commentators....The competition... The fact Billy B looks like the king of the pickle ball court.... Man, that was some damn good football!
Manning vs Brady with John Madden and Al Michaels on the call. Amazing
WOW , BRINGS BACK SOME AWESOME MEMORIES ...
I had to watch it back one more time to see every down Seau played. Much love & remembrance from San Diego ⚡🏄🤙🏼
So interesting hearing Al Michaels say that going for it on 4th & 3 from the opponent's 20 was something "you don't see very often". Nowadays it's almost automatic to do so
Man getting a year older after age 25 really really gets rough. Watching these vintage brady/manning duels in the early 00s doesn't make it any easier 😂😂
lets not forget how good Marvin Harrison was. its a teamgame and not only about Brady and Manning.
I would pay good money to watch Manning and Brady sit down and rewatch this game in full with commentary.
Specifically John Madden.
And to think that Brady’s best receivers were still in High School that day
This was pretty big IND was AFC-3, NE AFC-4 AFC Champ: NE at IND
and now we have gardner minshew and mac jones. we had no idea how good we had it back then.
This was literally the Super Bowl for me every time Tom and Peyton played each other. I miss these days.
I think the bigger surprise than Peyton’s 2nd straight win in NE was a rare 4 INT from the goat
al michaels, john madden, tom brady, peyton manning. can a game be more iconic?

This made Brady go after the GOAT status.
When football was football.. didn’t realize how much I would miss these rivals like manning vs Brady.. & I’m a giants fan. Miss this NFL soo much.. Harrison was a dawg
That's the most emotion I've ever seen Marvin Harrison have. What a catch!
Haha gotta love it
8:22 😂😂😂😂what?! Lmaoooo bro back in the day these commentators were hilarious 🤣
Battle of the juggernauts, kids today have no idea how lucky we were to witness the golden era of QB's during the early 00's to the late 00's
Indianapolis Colts Against New England Patriots AFC East Division Rivalry From 1970 To 1993 Thanks For Uploading
I live in CO but went to this game on a work trip. Such a fun night, caught me off guard when I saw this posted in my feed.
In the early years, it was very lopsided toward Brady. I think in the early 2000s the Patriots were a far better franchise overall. But from the mid 2000s onward, Brady vs Manning was a very evenly split matchup
80s, 90s, early 2000's football was just absolutely glorious, it's sad how the NFL is just becoming flag football now year by year and just becoming dull at this point
One of the few times Manning came into Foxburo and won.
One of those things that really shows how special the year was for Indy. Slayed their demons once in the regular season and once in the postseason.
He also won there the previous year
6:55 Freeney's spin move is nuts. Like a running back.
Back in the days when you could not miss a regular season game!
i didnt know how good i had it watching these two go at it
This was peak NFL
That was Bradys worst year statistically since his rookie year as a starter but with that backfield you can see why his passing stats were down eventhough his PR wasnt that good either. He then had his best season the year after. It was like transitioning from 2019-2020. Ironically his last season with the Bucs mirrors his 2019 season with the Pats but his 2yrs inbetween were statistically some of his best. I was really hoping he would come back and I think he would have for the right team(s) and won another SB on that team. Just imagine if the Jets just had a decent QB.
At that time, the most watched single broadcast of the year was the Superbowl. A close second was the regular season Colts/Pats game. Despite being in different divions, they played each other every year. Coincidence?
Even with all his Super Bowls, Brady taking this team to the AFC Championship Game and nearly the Super Bowl is one of the most amazing accomplishments that he had. Without a doubt the worst offensive roster around him that he had his entire career
So true. Brady is throwing to Doug Gabriel and Reche Caldwell
The team carried HIM past the Chargers.
@@gbrow1604 whatever helps you sleep
In the 2000’s. Colts vs Patriots was must see television.
🐐🐐 forgot how dominate Corey Dillon was 😐 these boys was playing "full contact" back when you could punch a dude in his shit and just keep playing.. now them boys gotta be so careful how they tackle, where they tackle, who you tackle 😁
Man these match ups were not to be missed whatsoever, it felt like I was watching a chess game between these two teams and these two players
2006 was an underrated year. You had brady and manning going off. Steve mcnair took baltimore to a 13-3 record and had the number one seed and devin hester was tearing up the nfc.
Look at classic Marvin, no dance, no showboat, gets the touchdown and runs it in.
I remember watching this game as a 5 yr old. This is when I first started loving football.
Miss those days. Damn colts had Adai, Clark, Manning, Harrison, Wayne! Damn power house team.
Being a patriot fan I love watching these games even if it's 10 15 years later. OMG it's just as painful the second time
Kobe & LeBron got me outside trying to re create plays while the game was on. same thing with Brady & Manning 👏
Manning, Harrison, and Wayne has to be the best QB-WR-WR trio of all time
Glad to say I watched the last Manning (Broncos) vs Brady (Patriots) matchup at Gillette Stadium
That was an all time catch by Harrison. His son has good genes
This was always amazing football. I miss it. And John Madden.
John madden: Tom Brady’s playing like Peyton manning “proceeds to throw interception”
thats peyton manning
