Everyone knew whoever won this game Will essentially win the Super Bowl
oh yeah, this was "superbowl 40 1/2"
One of the greatest games I ever watched! Miss these 2 in action so much. As a colts fan this was one of are greatest moments ever!
Mahommes and Allen are better
@@jenniferrenolds2226 Not even close.
@@jake1993ize mahommes Superbowl back to back seasons. What has Manning ever doneb
Brady stinks and a cheat
Zoom zoom
There are games that are just symbolic in sports history. This is absolutely one of them. Indy and Manning were never going to win a Super Bowl until they scaled Mt. Patriots. After all the disappointments, the tide seemed to turn with that big MNF win in 2005 but they flamed out in the playoffs against Pittsburgh. Then they beat them again to start this season 8-0, but then struggled like crazy the second half of the year. So having this game at home, after New England ironically did them a major solid upsetting that great Chargers team in San Diego...only to fall behind 21-3, it was like "there they go again". Except...this team, maybe not as talented as the 04 or 05 teams but more resilient, finally healthy (Bob Sanders) and having Adam Vinatieri...finally made the plays and got the breaks that had seemingly always gone Brady and Belichick's way. Other than the Lakers/Spurs Game 5 where Robert Horry's dagger 3 went in and popped back out in 2003, this was the most symbolic game I've ever watched where the 'gods' were finally on the other team's side. The recovered fumble for a TD, Reggie Wayne's near disaster after the catch on the GW drive...the Colts FINALLY got the breaks to break through.
Marlin's got it! We're going to the Super Bowl!

People always talk about 28-3 but somehow forget about this game.
And he threw the game sealing pick💀
@@sharkyrex_6192who care the pats over achieved that year. They beat the 14-2 chargers with mvp LT . Who i still think to this day had the better team. If the chargers beat the pats, im sure they wouldve went on to the superbowl. Bradys best receiver that year was reche Caldwell lol. Lets be serious.
Do they? This game has been spoken about a lot
@@sharkyrex_6192 The fact that Brady was able to get a lead like that with that awful offensive supporting cast, was a miracle in itself. Belichick's legendary defense failed once again, which they often did against the Colts after 2004

That was a huge mistake, that and cutting Manning then tanking the season to get Luck. Colts have never completely recovered.
Caldwell blew that shit for the Patriots bet he was gone by the next year !
RIP Reche Caldwell
@@indy_go_blue6048 They tanked the year Manning was injured. Andrew Luck was an upcoming prodigy for the QB position the year they tanked. Manning only had a few years left.
The fact that this was posted and then we got another 21-3 comeback is amazing.
Bengals did not get any help from the refs
@@dolphinsneu Stay mad.
All these games are rigged holmes. Brady's career was manufactured, Manning's horse face was designed in a laboratory. I met horse face once and his bee whole smelled like dirty garbage.
This was the actual Superbowl that year. Two of the greatest football men in history. Miss it.✌️🇺🇲
I still remember watching this game when I was 12. Can't believe it's been 15 years since we won the Super Bowl
I was 13 when this went down greatest moment as a colts fan

You guys had Manning and Luck for 21 seasons and got 1 ring out of it. Your franchise is pathetic
@@Ryan-zt2xw 18-1
@@Ryan-zt2xw now you have Mac Jones and will never win another one 😂😂😂
Jeff Saturday should be a Hall of Famer. He was dominant in his 2006 playoff run. In 4 playoff games I never had him losing a single snap. Not a single one. He dominated Kelly Gregg, Halotti Ngata and even Vince Wilfork. One of the best players I have ever seen. At 6'2 303 lbs he used his lack of height to his advantage. From like 2002-2010 once he got his hands on you it was basicaly game over.
Love the way you described this. ^ used to play Madden and I couldn’t believe the Colts had like ten players 99 overall. 😂 Manning, Dallas Clark, Saturday, Wayne, Harrison, Freeney, Mathis, Sanders, Vinatieri … that team was so loaded. Absolutely agree that he should be a HOFer.
Thank you, I’ve been saying this for years.
I wouldn’t cal 6’2 a lack of height even for a qb but I agree with you
@@hxpo6812 he may have been even shorter
Woah wait... Saturday isn't in the HOF??! Was he ever even nominated? I coulda sworn he was a shoe in to get in there... no question... That's wild!!
Best game I’ve ever watched
God i miss this era so much. THIS is football. We will never see anything close to this again,
haha shut up Bobby.
Something about the way these games were filmed just feels so much better .
There's no difference. You're just losing your mind and of course, the down syndrome.

By far, the best moment in Colts football history! I will NEVER get tired of watching this!
I remember running up and down the street with our colts flag screaming, "Super bowl"! There was snow and ice on the ground to. Oh this game is the best game ever for colts fans
Do you have some kind of mental disability besides just the down syndrome?
Nothing like 00s NFL. Great times man. Peyton my 🐐
One of the all time greatest playoff games. This was the Super Bowl that year. The Manning/Brady rivalry really was something. Their games were always must see.
The most ironic part about this game was Peyton came back by playing Brady’s game, short passes and running the football , just taking what the defense gave him
I'm from Indy and either way it went IT WAS ALWAYS GOOD TIMES WHEN THEY MET IN THE REGULAR SEASON OR PLAYOFFS... GREAT MEMORIES DURING THE BRADY VS MANNING BATTLES
RCA dome games hit different, that and Texas stadium
Surprisingly, this was the last time these two qbs matched up in the playoffs when manning was on the colts.
And no one knew it would be.
Sadly, yes, although they had a couple great regular season matchups in 07 and 09. 07 both teams were undefeated, and 09, the infamous "4th and 2" gamble by Belichick
God, I miss these Colts…they’ll never have a team like this ever again
That intro was chilling man. Brady vs Manning was an EPIC rivalry so glad I got to witness it in real time. Wow.
I got to witness my brother try and impregnate the family dog in real time. I kept telling him that's not how it worked but he kept going anyway. What a mess. The smell was unreal.

@@israelp348 I Love This Quarterback Rivalry Between Brady And Manning As My Favorite.
Bom Trady and Meyton Panning
My favorite sports moments of all time are Game 6 of the 2011 World Series, Christian Watford's buzzer beater to beat Kentucky, my HS basketball team's sectional championships, and this game.
This is one of my favorite games of all time. I was 8 at the time (now 23) but I just have a fond memory of watching this with my dad and older brother. This game always gives me nostalgia.
I was around the same age I remember watching the Pat's chargers the week before too classic barn burner
Actually I got my 1st Pat's jersey 2 weeks before that Christmas it was the cheapest Kmart knockoff I knew me and my bros were getting them because I already wad told saints wasn't real and picked out everyone's gifts that year kinda cool kinda sad I had just turned 9 actually
Your 23 and still don't know how to properly clean out your bee whole? What is the world coming to?

This was the real Super Bowl 41
Yep. Bears were nowhere near a contender that year despite their good defense
@@mariosnum1fan did you see their record against plus .500 teams that year?
@@vercingetorixarverni6343 I did. Nothing too fancy.
People talk about the lousy blowout SBs of the '80s and '90s, but they're missing the fact that the NFCCG was usually the real SB, and too often featuring the '49ers and the Cowboys. If the Bears had had a real QB, I think they could've won. I'm glad they didn't though.
@@indy_go_blue6048 Asante Samuel was underrated and the best at intercepting Tom Brady
This game marked a huge turning point in the Brady vs Manning rivalry. It was the start of 3 consecutive AFC championship wins for Manning against Brady and Brady would never beat Manning in the playoffs again for the rest of his career.
My favorite game of the entire decade
This HD quality is impressive for a game played in 2007.
I've never been happier about the result of a football game that didn't involve my team.
Now this was a QB rivalry unlike any any other
Still the greatest QB rivalry I've seen always bought the best outta each other.
Jim Nantz having the time of his life calling this historic game😇
Favorite NFL game of all-time. Colts got over the hump against NE finally and finally got to the Super Bowl. It was so frustrating not getting there. Way to go, Colts.
Peyton had to overcome so much fluky bullshit to win this game. The Maroney fumble which somehow ends up as a NE TD. The special teams giving up a huge return right after they tied the game and momentum shifted back to NE. It always seemed everything was against Indy in these game. So happy they persevered through it and finally won.
I can’t hear you with Peyton’s d in your mouth 😂😂😂😂
2006 Colts special teams walked so the 2021 Packers special teams could run
Growing up in indiana as a packers fans and a colts fan. I've endured a lot of defensive and special teams melt downs 💀💀
What a legendary battle,so blessed to be able to witness it being a colts fan!!1 4 the ages for sure
Greatest moment in Indiana sports history honestly

If Bob Sanders could have stayed healthy, he would've been the best safety (besides Ed Reed) of the 2000's.
i always say that he was sean taylor if sean taylor wasnt murdered
@@nightmaregaming5016 Sean is my all-time favorite player but what’s crazy is that Sanders was 6 inches shorter, weighed least 20 pounds less and rocked people the same way Taylor did. His body just couldn’t hold up with his fearlessly violent he played.

1,000% Facts
No where near Troy
Loved this game💙🔥
I'll never forget watching this amazing gut-wrenching game live! I was feeling so desperate and sorry for the Colts when they were down big. So happy for Manning and the boys they found a way! like Jim Rome said heading in to this big game that year, after so many play off dissappointments. "Peyton Manning has to cash one these in!" And he did in SUPER BOWL XLI. My favorite quarter back of all time was finally a champion! 🏈🏆 Respect to one of the greatest quarterbacks ever! Manning was always must see tv for me.
Back when Rome was on ESPN lol time flies
I remember every bit of this game. The greatest game I have ever seen, to this day. Years of build up, rivalry, backstory. That PATs defense was incredible, stacked from top to Bottom, same with the Colts’ offense
Loved watching this rivalry thanks for the memories NFL Throwback.
The dude with the painted on helmet is the kind of fan every team wants. Lol
Just watching the intro for this video gets you jacked for the highlights! Miss these days of Indy!
It's interesting how back then they were wondering if Brady vs. Manning would be the next great rivalry and now we're discussing if Allen vs. Mahomes is the next rivalry.
They have a long way to go. Allen still hasn’t even gotten to the super bowl and Mahomes with all his weapons only has one.
You're So Cool & An Great Person NFL Throwback, Beautiful Job Well Done.
Thank you 😊
Most people don't even realize the year this game was played was when manning took a serious neck & back injury that shortened his career as he fought it off with surgery for awhile. Look up the Washington redskins game and you'll see him get bent nearly in half backwards that ended with his helmet getting ripped off and his screaming in pain. He would of been a monster for years more without that targeted vicious hit he endured.
That was in the 2011 preseason, I thought?
that happened later in his career
@@tomney4460 Peyton didn't play in the 2011 preseason. He already had a neck surgery by that point.
@@tomney4460 wrong the initial injury was in 2006 and had several surgeries by 2011. This is exactly why I say very few people understand how long he dealt with the injury initially caused by the redskins game
@@robertorwell1508 I was there sadly..
That was truly the best shootout I’ve ever seen, my entire family, well mainly my dad and little sister loved Brady meanwhile I despised him and the patriots so when the colts beat em it was amazing. I remember Brady not even shaking Payton’s hand.
My all-time favorite football game.
Ravens chargers it should of been !
I hear a few people complaining that Brady didn't have a good receiving corps that's pretty true here but he had a great running game and a great defense and a great special team and the best head couch ever. The following year he had a elite receiving corps with Welker and moss along with a great defense and didn't win the superbowl. He has been blessed with a great overall team most of his career. Just look at his offense last year a couple great running backs and great receivers Godwin evans gronkowski Scott Miller and a top 10 defense.
Greatest playoff game ever
To think Brady nearly won this game and took this Patriots team to the Super Bowl when he had Reche Caldwell as his best receiver…
Fr that guy is horrible, im pretty sure he got cut after this game
Brady didn’t nearly win anything if anything brady lost the pats this game after belichecks defense practically gave him the game to finish off.
@@solemn-man3170 The same Patriots defense that gave up 38 points? Even despite Asante Samuel getting that pick 6?
Brady’s receiving cores in his early years were a joke. Manning literally had reggie Wayne and Marvin Harrison to throw the ball too. Think about that.
That dude dropped 2 key passes and then he had this wide eyed confused ass look like bro how u drop those.
The touchdown pass to Klecko was amazing.
Legendary play by Bob Sanders 26:03. Saved the game.
One of the greatest to ever do it, shame that his prime was cut short
Bob Sanders is like, four feet tall. I heard he's in prison for beating his dog in the street with a pipe wrench after a night of hard rock smoking and hennessey drinking.
You got the '81 or '88 AFC Championship in the pipeline? Could go for some Freezer Bowl highlights or watch how Marv Levy got the idea to steal Cincy's no huddle scheme in '88. This is dope though. I remember watching the 06 AFCC in my dorm room. I had gotten my own dorm with a personal bathroom that semester. It was really nice. Missed the hell out of that place. I had it made and didn't appreciate it enough. That's what I remember about this game, lol.
Probably the best game of the 2000s decade
Top 5 as far as greatest games of all time!!! Right up there with the 1994 NFC Championship, the 2018 Chiefs Rams Monday Night Game, and the 1998 Wildcard with the 49ers and Packers!!!
And 2012 Broncos vs Ravens playoff game
When football was football. Clean hard hitting from the defense and clean blocking from the offense....miss those days
This game was so legendary I just knew Peyton Manning was finally going to beat Tom Brady that year
Great channel
Best rivalry in football
Wondering if Mahomes vs. Allen will take on a similar vibe with each one going through the other to reach the SB
@Fernando Guedes I just hope that Josh Allen takes the Peyton Manning role where he has a playoff record against Patrick 6-2
@Fernando GuedesExactly, and historically speaking, I am comparing Josh Allen to Peyton Manning and Steve Young because Allen could be getting the same treatment as them with statements like "he can't win the big game" and "he can't get the monkey off his back".
Won’t happen. Too much QB talent in the AFC. Those two plus Burrow,Herbert,Jones and Jackson. That’s a lot of talent right there.
Lol. No.
Hello NFL Throwback
Hello 👋
WHEW!! It's 2023 and watching this intro STILL gives me chills!! What a GAME!!! Manning FINALLY getting over the Brady-Belicheck hump to go to the SB!! What a GAME!!!
That head scratch after the Marlin Jackson pick.. you already know Bill was thinking “Fuck this shit I’m coming back perfect next year”
Please post every Manning and Brady playoff game 🙏🏾
Epic outcome and well deserved
Game was rigged holmes. (_)_):::::::::D~~~ ~~ ~
Man, this rivalry was great. 03-09 was must see TV when these 2 played each other. This season, 06, there was a great Sunday night game in New England that the Colts won, which gave them the tiebreaker for playoff seeding. Nowadays, a Colts/Patriots game is nothing more than a 1pm game with a 3rd string announce team
Two offensive lineman with fumble recovery touchdowns! Has there been a game that’s had this since?
I love Jim Nantz ♥
Awesome intro 🔥🔥🔥
I watched Peyton beat Brady in the 2013 and 2015 AFC championships, which was awesome to see. But had I been old enough to watch this one(I was just one when it happened), that would have been amazing!
If I was a colts fan in that arena I would have starting sobbing when Jackson got that pick. This game alleviated YEARS of torment for Peyton and his guys.
After this loss the next year Brady has like the best year ever with moss
Then Eli Manning and the New York Giants spoiled Brady and the Patriots' bid for a perfect 19-0 season in the Super Bowl
@@TheGameCube64Guy Eli is Brady’s kryptonite
The 21-3 before the 28-3. Edit: That stat @ 30:46 was tied at the 2021 AFC Championship.
Just got tied
It’s wild to think that Brady was 29 almost 30 when this game happened and he’s still playing
This game hurt my soul. Nonetheless one of greatest games of all time! I thought we had them after Asante caught Peyton lacking. 18 point lead and still couldn't put them away!
It happens.
@@AmirKhan-rh6jj Styles make fights!
exactly i always thought this loss was worse than the super bowl loss to the giants the next year. No wonder why it took 8 years to recover from this loss. Even when they sort of got their revenge on the colts in 2007 regular season for coming back from 10 in the 4th quarter, it just did not make up for the loss. Any devasting loss you suffer like this you have to win the super bowl
Colts winning was good for the NFL !
Looking back on the face guard rule and the force out you could argue the DBs back then had it harder
The pass from the goat to Marlon Jackson was a thing of beauty
16 years later and I still was nervous watching this. Colts finally got them!
You got nervous over a game in which the outcome is in the title of the video? Your bee whole is probably filthy because it seems like you're not smart enough to know how to properly clean up downstairs.
No game makes me miss the RCA Dome more - I wish I went there. My Eagles played there earlier that year on Thanksgiving weekend 06’ and got beat bad. I went two years ago in 2022 at Lucas Oil Stadium which was nice but I wish I saw RCA Dome (couldn’t even tell the site where it sat nowadays.) - also good for Indy, NBA ASG is there this weekend! 😃
The superbowl halftime show was Prince for Bears/Colts. Rest in peace sweet Prince.
Note: Beichick refused Manning's offered hand...always classy Belichick.
The man hates losing. Show me a good loser and I’ll show you a loser
26:59 wooooo boy I remember watching that live and I nearly jumped out of my clothes for a split second but Reggie got it back. Great year for football but I sorta wish the Colts and Bears could've tied. :)
Dwight Freeny really was spamming tf out that spin move 😭
The intro alone was 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hopefully the colts can get some of that magic back with Matt Ryan at the helm. I sure do miss that group of players they were so fun to watch.The look on Brady and belichicks face at the end was priceless.
Reggie Wayne will bring some magic back to our team as the wide receiver head coach. Let's go blue!!
I'm soooo ready for football season. Lets go Colts!
I’m sure you’re already aware but that didn’t work out too well lol, the colts simply have bigger needs than QB, idk why ALL the blame went to wentz
Ryan wasn't it, chief
As a Patriots fan, this game is equally painful as the super bowl defeats.

I'm reading a book about how habits work and how we can change them... a part of the book talks about this game to explain them more and I came here to witness habits in a good example of their greatest embodied in this game. What a game!
the book is called "The power of habit", one of the best books to get rid of addictions and so
Great game, seems like yesterday... and I'm a Steelers fan.
Rehce Caldwell, everytime he dropped an important catch: 👀👀
@22:13- 22:28 LMFAO his eyes is what's taking me out 😂😂😂😂😂
Before Bills vs Chiefs, there was Colts vs Pats
This was the season I lost faith in Belichick as GM, but cemented my belief in Brady's greatness. Brady carried this team on his back all the way to the AFC Championship and almost won it with no wide receivers. There was no Wes Welker, no Julian Edleman, no Moss, no Gronk. Brady's #1 receiver in 2006 was Reche Caldwell, a dude that was the #4 receiver for four years in San Diego with Drew Brees. He came to New England as a cast-off in 2006 where he became Brady's #1, because there was literally no one else. Caldwell wouldn't even have made the Colts roster and was out of football a year later. And Brady still almost won. The Patriots had no business being 12-4 that year, but Brady was just that good. No QB in NFL history did more with less around him than Tom Brady.
This year will always be one of my favorites I'm the biggest Manning fan but if you remember Bob Sanders the safety was a big reason they went to the SB, he was injured and the defense was playing horrible when he came back in the playoffs it was a HUGE spark and they started Winning he will be one of my favorite Safety ever for that
This game was the Real Super Bowl 41.
Reggie Wayne catching his own fumble was insane
