This Game Means More To Manning Than Anyone:
I don’t want to hear that this is just another game. It’s not. For Manning, this game is special, very special.
Not only is he headed back to Indy, but he’s headed back to Indy with history on the line. With 284 yards and a victory on Sunday, Manning will pass Brett Farve as the all-time leader in yards and victories. You don’t have to be a history buff to know that’s a big deal. And to be able to do it in Indy against the Colts makes it all the more special — perfect, even.
And while I’m sure it’ll be a symbolic, emotional moment for Manning, I know there’s a part of him that’s looking to stick it to the Colts franchise one last time, to show them that they made the wrong decision when they cut him four years ago.
Not to mention, I think he’s still looking to shove the whole “Peyton Manning’s finished” thing in everybody’s face for a few more weeks.
