While he did win Super Bowl XLI MVP, Manning posted one of the worst postseason runs for a Super Bowl winning quarterback of all-time. He threw three touchdown passes but posted seven interceptions and did not have a single game passer rating higher than 81.6.

Montana had three monster Super Bowls; Unitas had the ’58 NFL title game; Brady had Super Bowl XXXVI & XXXVIII; Elway had back to back Super Bowls, both endearing in different ways. What is Peyton Manning’s defining postseason moment? The 2006 AFC title game? He was ok in Super Bowl XLI but far from lights out. He still needs THAT game.

Nonetheless, the Welker injury […]
The 2009 NFL season represents an odd journey for Bill Belichick. From the controversy of 4th and 2 to Randy Moss “dogging it”, he’s had a few hurdles to clear. However, none of that stops him from becoming the fifth inductee to the JMRA Hall of Fame.
