Peyton Manning Is 'Definitely' the Best QB I've Coached Against, Bill Belichick Says

New England Patriots head coach and eight-time Super Bowl winner Bill Belichick heaped praise on quarterback Peyton Manning during the signal-caller's induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this weekend, saying that the five-time NFL MVP was "definitely the best quarterback I've coached against."

"More than any one single offensive player, he forced us to change and adapt defensive game plans," Belichick said, per Ben Volin of the Boston Globe.

Belichick has won six Super Bowls as the Patriots' head coach and an additional two with the New York Giants as their defensive coordinator.
