1-16-2000... Tennessee (13-3) beats Indy (13-3) 19-16 in the divisional playoff round. Peyton goes 19 for 42 (ouch) for 227 yds... zero
TD's, zero picks for a QB rating of 62.3. Colts score one touchdown. Stellar!
12-30-2000... Miami (11-5) beats Indy (10-6) 23-17 in the wildcard round. Peyton goes 17 for 32 (ouch) for 194 yds... one TD, zero picks
for a QB rating of 82.0. Colts score one TD. Stellar!
1-4-2003... The NY Jets (9-7) beat Indy (10-6) 41-0 in the wildcard playoff round. Peyton goes 14-31 for 137 yds... zero TD's and two
picks for a QB rating of 31.25 (ouch). Another stellar performance!
1-18-2004... New England (14-2) beats Indy (12-4) 24-14 in the conference championship. Peyton Manning goes 23 for 47 for 237 yds... one
TD and four picks (ouch) for a QB rating of 35.51 (ouch). Outstanding!
1-16-2005... New England (14-2) beats Indy (12-4) 20-3 in the divisional round. Peyton goes 27 for 42 for 238 yds... zero TD and one pick
for a rating of 69.35 (ouch). Legendary!
1-15-2006... Pittsburgh (11-5) beats Indy (14-2) 21-18 in the divisional round. Peyton goes 22 for 38 and 290 yds... one TD and zero picks
for a QB rating of 90.9. Little something extra for this one. You may remember the pick that Manning threw to Polamalu late in the 4th
qtr. It was called a pick, then reversed. Later, the head of officiating Mike Pereira said it was indeed an interception and that they
shouldn't have reversed it. That more than likely would have ended the game with an 11 pt lead and 5:26 remaining. Also, Manning and the
Colts netted a total of 25 yards in the first 19 minutes of the game. Not good. Overall though, a good performance with good numbers in a
losing effort.
2-4-2007... Indy (12-4) beats Chicago (13-3) 29-17 in SB XLI 29-17. Peyton goes 25 for 38 and 247 yds... one TD and one pick for a QB
rating of 81.8. It's also interesting to note that in the four postseason games in January, he threw three TD's and seven INT's (are you
kidding me?). Bottom line however, he's a Super Bowl Champ.
1-13-2008... San Diego (11-5) beats Indy (13-3) 28-24 in the divisional round. Peyton goes 33 for 48 and 402 yds... three TD's and two
picks for a QB rating of 97.74. Good numbers in general but the picks really hurt his team in a huge way.
1-3-2009... San Diego (8-8) beats Indy (12-4) 23-17 in the wildcard round. Peyton goes 25 for 42 and 310 yds... one TD and zero picks for
a QB rating of 90.38. Good numbers. He did his job. Still a loss.
2-7-2010... New Orleans (13-3) beats Indy (14-2) 31-17 in Super Bowl XLIV. Peyton goes 31 for 45 and 333 yds... one TD and one pick for a
QB rating of 88.47. That pick (returned for a TD) came late in the game and essentially ended any hopes of his team winning this one. And
the truth is, Reggie Wayne did absolutely nothing wrong on that play. He ran five yards and turned around. That's all he did. He ran his
route correctly (they run this play all the time... Manning and Wayne both know what they are supposed to do). I've watched the play over
a dozen times. By the time he turned around, the ball was there and thrown too far to the inside. Meanwhile, Austin Collie was running
across the middle wide open. But Peyton didn't see him because HE WAS STARING DOWN REGGIE WAYNE THE ENTIRE TIME. Peyton played well, but
made a HUGE mistake at the end that put an abrupt halt to his team having any chance of winning. Super Bowl loss.
