Peyton to Belichick: 'This might be my last rodeo'

More evidence mounts that Super Bowl 50 will be Peyton Manning's last game in the NFL.

As NFL Network cameras caught Manning and Bill Belichick embracing after the AFC Championship Game, the quarterback acknowledges it might be the last time the two battle.

"Hey, listen, this might be my last rodeo. So, it sure has been a pleasure," Manning told Belichick.

"You are a great competitor," the Patriots' coach responded.

The context of the statement partly explains why both Manning and Belichick remained mum on the exchange following the contest.
