Peyton Manning is arguably one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history.

Here are Manning’s Top 5 greatest moments of his Hall of Fame career with the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos.

5. Monday Night Magic - Oct. 6, 2003

On Oct. 6, 2003, Peyton Manning put together one of the most impressive comeback victories of his career on Monday Night Football against the defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Manning rallied the Colts from a 35-14 deficit with four minutes left in regulation, sending the game into overtime. Kicker Mike Vanderjagt booted a 29-yard field goal with 3:47 left in the extra period to lead Indianapolis to a 38-35 victory over Tampa Bay.

The Colts became the first team in NFL history to win after trailing by 21 or more points with less than four minutes to play in regulation.

Manning finished with 386 passing yards and two touchdowns. Wide receiver Marvin Harrison hauled in 11 receptions for 176 yards and two scores.

4. Taking down Tom Brady - Jan. 21, 2007

The Indianapolis Star described the win over the New England Patriots in the playoffs as the “Greatest Colts Win of Ever.”

And it definitely was a win that ultimately led Manning to his first Super Bowl title.

The Colts trailed their longtime rival Patriots and Tom Brady by 18 points at the half. But Manning led Indianapolis back and engineered an 80-yard touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter before cornerback Marlin Jackson sealed it with a game-clinching interception of Brady, and the Colts pulled out the 38-34 win over the Patriots in the AFC Championship Game.

Manning threw for 349 yards and had two total touchdowns.
