The last time Peyton Manning and Russell Wilson met on the field, it was the second time Wilson’s Seahawks had gotten the better of Manning and his Broncos.
But it was a 26-20 overtime loss that felt like a win given the 43-8 drubbing Denver had suffered two years before in Super Bowl 48.
Now the two quarterbacks are meeting again, but in completely different situations.
Wilson as the new franchise QB in Denver and Manning as the Hall-of-Famer finally seeing a replacement worthy of his former spot as signal caller.
And knowing a thing or two about joining a new team after years in the same system, Manning has been a sounding board and mentor to Wilson - exactly what every Broncos fan wants to hear.
