Peyton Manning will not retire with as many Super Bowl rings as Tom Brady, but he will likely retire with the upper-hand in head-to-head playoff matchups.
After the Broncos’ victory against the Patriots on Sunday (just typing that gets me pumped up for SB50), Manning pulled ahead of Brady in their all-time playoff matchup record. Manning and Brady had previously split playoff battles, tied at two wins apiece.
With Manning and the Broncos winning Sunday, he pulled ahead 3-2 against Brady in the postseason. The real fun statistic is that Manning has a 3-1 record against Brady in AFC Championship games, 2-0 as a Bronco.
