INDIANAPOLIS — XLI was good to Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts.
And as Manning turns XLI on Friday, we all hope the age of 41 treats the legendary quarterback just as well.
We’re referring, of course, to Super Bowl XLI, in which Manning and the Colts defeated the Chicago Bears, 29-17, at Dolphin Stadium on a rainy night in Miami, Fla.
The rain was merely an annoyance for Manning, who would be named the game’s Most Valuable Player after utilizing a strong performance from his offensive line throughout the evening to complete 25 of 38 passes for 247 yards with a touchdown and an interception each.
