Yahoo Sports NFL on Peyton Manning

Manning threw four INTs in 2003 AFC Championship but led historic comeback in 2006.

Peyton Manning threw four interceptions in the 2003 AFC Championship Game against the Patriots, whose physical coverage overwhelmed his receivers. This loss to New England, despite Manning's precision passing attack, contributed to a narrative that the Colts were too soft to win a Super Bowl. However, three years later in the 2006 AFC Championship Game, Manning led the Colts to the biggest comeback in Conference Championship Game history, mounting a furious second-half rally from a 21-3 deficit to win on a Joseph Addai touchdown run with one minute left, demonstrating that the league had shifted toward high-flying offenses.
