Manning wins in the cold.

For all the 0-3 in the playoffs in the cold talk, I noticed few mentioned that if he was in a playoff game in the cold it had to be against a pretty darn good team (higher seeded then the always well seeded colts) and going on the road.

Denver should trounce them.  They beat the Ravens in Baltimore 34-17, and the mile high air will have the Ravens sucking wind by the 4th quarter.

This is John Elway Bowl, can Baltimore get revenge for Elway for rejecting them back in 1983

Nice return.

Holliday has been boom or bust with a lot of big returns but a lot of fumbles and such. That was a big boom.

I didn't see any pre game show specify where the 3 games he lost below 40 degrees took place, but venturing a guess I would say at least 2 of them were in Foxboro and probably against a #1 Pats team. Did he lose a divisional game in Denver too?

EDIT: Nevermind, found it on NFL.com. Lost a wild card game to the #4 Jets in Jan 2003, then to the Pats in 2004 (#1) and 2005 (#2). Manning's Colts were #5, #2 and #3 respectively

I believe one was the jets

So much for punt coverage.The route begins.

Couldn't be rooting harder for Peyton , and against that stabbing "hero" Lewis.

Always hold my breath when Holliday gets the ball - big plays both ways plus he's 5'5 and about 160 lbs soaking wet. Amazed he holds up to any hits.

Flacco with a huge throw.

[stevestojan]

THAT'S an NFL QB. WOW, what a throw.

I get the distaste, but its funny how for nearly a decade, the stabbing was an afterthought and then all of a sudden when he gets ready to retire and people are celebrating his playing career ON the field, everyone gets self righteous and wants to bring up things from OFF the field again

Reading this board you'd be amazed he wasn't cut midweek for a street free agent. Ravens will tag and extend him.

Helps that Smith pushed-off on Bailey.

In my defense I was never a huge fan of stabbing.

Yep, just like on that DPI play earlier.

I guess its similar to the OJ thing. Can you still admire his playing career without taking into account the fact he murdered two people and got away with it?
