It's hard to get a road playoff win these days, particularly hard in a place like Denver. Brady is 0-3 there in the playoffs. Major props to Luck and Indy
Those were probably the 3 weakest teams in the Brady era though but you aren't wrong.
@@anthonyhutchins2300 2005 and 2013, yeah but not 2015.
@@IanMalcolm-rw5pn at least the Pats don’t get blown out in the SB with one of the best offenses in NFL history lmao
@@IanMalcolm-rw5pn since when did I say you were?
To be fair the 3 times Brady played them in Denver they were just the better team besides maybe 15.
This was one of the few competent games for Luck’s o-line
Oh yes, the game that ended John Fox and Jack Del Rio’s tenure in Denver. Good days
😂😂😂
Showed they ass the door shortly after......
Yup giving the defense to Wade Phillips was a game changer.
Lmao. Idk how Broncos fans criticized Del Rio. They went to the Super Bowl prior to this albeit lost. In the 2015-16 season, the defense was fully healthy. Del Rio would’ve gotten that ring either way.
Del rio is absolutely terrible at his job. The one thing that kubiak did better than fox was he stuck with the run.
John fox was a food coach don't forget the mess he inherited from josh McDaniels and he fixed the team
watching this makes me miss Luck. Dude was a freaking baller
Yeah his biggest problems were that he was fragile and I don’t think he had the same passion for the game as the greats like Brady, Favre, or even Manning. That’s why he was so quick to “retire”.
That pass to Fleener at 9:24 with 5 Broncos around is just mind boggling. Not many QBs have touch like that.
@@MAGA4EVA1986didn’t have the “passion” and still beat Peytie Pie.
Damn I don’t remember this game at all
Same. I remembered the outcome but don’t remember the game
people forget how great this Broncos offense was in the regular season too. Peyton Manning (still good), Demaryius Thomas (career year), Emmanual Sanders, Wes Welker, Eric Decker, Julius Thomas, and CJ Anderson. it was a shock as a broncos fan.
Deflate gate was da next game
That’s because y’all don’t know football 😂 I clearly remember this game not just the damn outcome
Michael Samuel yep the Pats won 42-20 then Went to the Super Bowl and won 28-24 what a season it was
This game was the beginning of the end for Peyton Manning. I mean he won a superbowl but wasn’t half the player he was
Victor Oladipo #indyismycity and this game was the end of the beginning for Luck, as the next 4 years for him were full of injuries 😰 I miss him so much
Grant Wheeler actually the beginning of the end for Luck was the next game the colts and broncos played lol
Grant Wheeler I miss him too tho colts are in really good hand with their front office tho
Victor Oladipo #indyismycity that’s basically what I said yeah. Like the 2015 season was the beginning of the end
Grant Wheeler i know I was just stating the fact that is was literally the Broncos game where serious injuries started
The officials couldn't even give the Broncos this game
Whatchu meeeeeeaaaaaan
😂😂😂😂
ssssssssaaaaaaallllllttttttttt
They tried to
Funny joke
As a broncos fan, this loss was beyond frustrating. I couldn't live with myself. I was so disgusted
Me to 😭 althought we probs woulda lost @ new england
They won the Super Bowl the following year.
You couldn’t live with yourself, yet you’re still alive? Hmmm 🤔
@allelitetyler9526 nah we get shmacked by Seattle in the SB the next year then win the Super Bowl the year after
@@HussOnTheBeatI think you have your years mixed up. The year before this we lost to Seattle in the Super Bowl. This was our third year with Payton. This was the year New England went and beat Seattle in the Super Bowl. Our first year with Payton we gave up that Hail Mary throw to Jacoby Jones. We won against Carolina the year after this game.
I said this about the same game on another channel. This was the first game I’ve ever saw Peyton unconfident and uncomfortable. Yes, later we found out Peyton had a leg injury, but once again, I’ve never seen him that uncomfortable in my life
I did his championship games against the pats when he was a colt
Gamer and reviews23 the first time? You evidently didn’t watch Peyton Manning in the playoffs much…
TheLocalLt I grew up in Indy and I’m a broncos fan so keep talking. He’s been uncomfortable in games but never unconfident
Joe Cool you mean when he beat them 3 out of the 4 times he played that pats in the championship yea
It was pretty obvious he was playing hurt.
1:55 pat mcaffee out there spinning like a dradle
That throw to Fleener on 3rd and 16 about halfway through the third quarter was beautiful.
I remember screaming at the tv seeing Peyton overthrowing them streaks to sanders down sideline “ stop throwing that it ain’t working” 😂😂😂😂 now I knowing it was Peyton’s arm going strength going away front of my eyes.
optimusgoob not even his strength he was just overthrowing it everytime
@@king_supreme1102 its because his confidence in his arm strength wasn't great so he was putting more on it when he didn't need to overthrowing everytime
I have a hard time telling if it was lack of strength or over compensation
Luck has more championship appearances than the Cowboys in 23 years!
@Original6Productions More like a Cowboy hater . . . in a good way! Love it!
Didn't they also make a "conference runner up" banner after that year? The Cowboys never would've done that. Act like you've been there before.
@@tommyl.dayandtherunaways820 23-0 bitch
@@jsmiller0605 And the previous meeting before that it was 7-42 Cowboys, with that 7 points in 4th quarter garbage time. So they swapped goose eggs.
Do the Colts still have all of their "AFC Finalist" banners up? Lmao. Their next banner should be, "2015 Worst Fake Punt and Play Attempted in NFL History". Hahahaha.
R B 🤡🤡🤡
This was a HUUUUUUGE upset. And the Colts just beat them. It wasn't a fluke, they just had a superior game plan and executed it to perfection.
Man I miss luck already ✊🏾
We all do. But I really hope he's happier now than before, that he is in less pain, and his mental health is better.
John Horn and that my friend would be Ryan Grigson’s fault
Honestly I'm not even a Colts fan and I miss Andrew Luck.
Luck's 3rd year and he leads his team to the AFC Title game. He was on his way to having a HOF career.
It’s a shame his Mental and Physical health always held him back….oh what could have been 😭

Yay, one of my favourite games in recent memory. The passing of the torch from Manning to Luck. I ain't even a Colts fan, but I cheered for them against the Broncos this game
Thats cool, did u cheer for the panthers in the sb too?
Man, Peyton arm was shot.
@CHIGGS 58TH Yes, the SB was more his defense, but anyway, he did a good job with that noodle of an arm he had. It's a testament to his great mind and intelligence. I didn't remember his arm was that bad that year.
stéphane A it was even worse the next year. Didn’t even look like the same person
CHIGGS 58TH it was the next year
stéphane Hgh wore off
In 2014 he started to show significant signs of regression
I remember this was a very surprising upset. The Broncos under achieved greatly this game and it showed with Manning’s very sloppy play. But good for Andrew luck farthest he has ever made it in the playoffs and beating Payton Manning on the road
GREEEDOOO _ Luck was trash in this game
Troy Mathis yeah it was a sloppy game
Let’s not forget that Peyton was an aging veteran against what was thought to be a phenom in his prime. But yet another superhuman veteran reminded him of what mastery looks like just one game after. 🏈
Troy Mathis I wouldn’t say trash but he wasn’t great either. Still had 2 TD’s and made some very impressive throws. Yes he had 2 picks but they were like punts
Very
After the 43-8 thrashing, I thought this game, along with Peyton finally showing his age, slammed the door for good on the Broncos’ title window. They really improved that defense big time the following year.

2 NFL Throwback posts in a day? Yes please!
As a colts fan it was bitter sweet! PEYTON MANNING all time favorite.. Loved to watch Luck play, it kills me he retired so early and sat is back, no doubt he could of been one of the greats and had a statue outside Lucas Oil Stadium next to #18
I miss the Luck to TY connection so much 🤧
Man RIP DT and Zurlon Tipton. Both gone so young
Shout out to Andrew Luck definitely would've been a Hall Of Famer in a few more years
He actually will be this yr crazy
2014 was an amazing season for the Patriots!!!!
One of my favorite as a pats fan.
mshat18 2014 season was a much needed for the pats at that time! Everyone thought the dynasty was going to end and how Brady is declining. Boy we proved them wrong! 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
_speed demon_03 who’s your team?
@_speed demon_03 ic
This game for the Broncos was lost in effort.
Peyton & Sanders just COULDN'T connect on that 9 route throughout the first half
Peyton's inability to run for first downs when he had MILES of yardage ahead of him (This is when being a pure passer can haunt you, don't force something when the easy yardage in right there)
The receivers failure to run deep enough routes... (Far too often did we see completions on 3rd down that resulted in 4th in 2/3)
And the sheer inaccuracy of Peyton on 3rd down as well...
Might I add the Play-calling selection wasn't the best either.
Defensively the Broncos played solid for the most part. Luck made some SENSATIONAL throws, but penalties didn't help Denver either.
All & all the Broncos played like they overlooked the Colts & it came back to bite them.
The Colts played good offensively, balanced attack, they didn't need a ton of yards on the ground, but just enough to set up 3rd & manageable; Defensively their defensive backs WON THIS GAME for them. People forget how good Vontae Davis was & he showcased it during this game. Notice the open field tackling as well... Just textbook, old school defense right there.
You gotta love the play-by-play highlights of a football game; true football fans get to see the story of the game rather than just look at the Box Score, TDs & Stat-line & believe that's the story of the game.
Hats off to an Amazing Career by Andrew Luck!
Great upload @NFL Throwback
That 3 and 5 play at 8:26 is a perfect example of what you mentioned. Manning would have gotten a first down without trying if he had just run with it.
You can see the difference in his attitude from this game to next years AFC Championship game. This game he had an open hole to run through but didn’t take it in fear of his own ability, next year when it mattered the most he ran for 13 yards on 3rd and long, that’s how I knew he was determined to get his ring. He might’ve not been what he used to be but his determination and leadership helped that team work out somehow.
The injury killed him.
Pre-injury, Peyton looked as good as he was during his MVP year in 2013.
Post injury, he looked like Geno Smith out there.
flash012234 as soon as he got hurt that 2014 season he started going downhill, I think the broncos biggest mistake was letting go of key players on that O-line.
I remember having such mixed feelings during this game. I have been to hundreds of Colts games and when the Irsay got rid of Peyton I was so mad, only to waste a season to get a guy who might be a great quarterback. Then to watch him in Denver and being a fan after having lived there for a few years this was just so weird. Then in the 2nd quarter watching him overthrow his wideouts repeatedly and then punt was sad. I think I was more sad about how this turned out for Manning, than I was that "my" team won.
Gotta love Talib. He will literally be tackling a receiver 5 seconds before the ball gets there and then complain and do the what face. Its so funny. He did it all the time. He got away with so many more penalties too
I remember this game quite well, and having rewatched it, it seems even more apparent that this was the start of Manning's hard decline into the next season. There was just no velocity whatsoever on any of his passes downfield, and his inability to make any intermediate or long throws is what ultimately killed Denver in this game. Still a very surprising upset though, and another solid performance by Andrew Luck.. Too bad he ended up getting waxed in what would begin the single dumbest saga in sports history the very next week
I forgot how bad Peyton looked in this game. Seems obvious in hindsight knowing his stats from 2015
Gregory Hughes I remember so many people saying he should hang it up after this game, but I thought if he came back for one more year he could win it all.
@@supakewlryan Peyton didn't win jack the next season and in fact was the back up for half of it. One of the greatest defenses of all time won that Super Bowl for Denver and I actually think had they played Osweiler they would've won by more. Peyton Manning was never much to write home about in the playoffs.
He was already playing hurt by this time, the same thing happened to him the following season.
Still if it wasnt for his leadership the Broncos would have not win it all, just look how they struggle with Osweiller at the end of the season and had to come back to Peyton.
@@aesir1ases64 Osweiller was just a tad worse than Trent Dilfer who game managed the Baltimore Ravens, the 2nd best D of all time to the Super Bowl. Denver's defense was great that year behind only the 85 Bears, 2000 Ravens, and 86 Giants. If any of those teams wound up putting up 13 points they were incredibly tough to beat. I think Oz could've done at least that vs. Carolina but likely would've lost the AFC Championship to New England.
He collapsed in the second half of 2014 as I recall. In the first few games he looked just like the guy who had thrown 55 TDs the year before, but as they say, when the end comes, it comes swiftly. Luckily for him, Denver had built a defense capable of carrying him the extra mile in 2015. I also personally believe he didn’t want his last game to be a loss to his old team.
This was the game when I knew Peyton didn’t have it anymore. And yes I know they won the super bowl the following year, but it was only because of the defense.
Who else cringes whenever luck goes down?
@Abdallah Abdirahim he retired as soon as we got a new o line. He was just a genius stuck in potentially the greatest quarterback of all time but he was too smart and cares more about his health idc I love him 😔
Can’t believe they fuckin booed him when he retires what terrible fans
Beginning of the end for Peyton Manning
Are u stupid we won the super bowl the next year that’s all Peyton wanted he already broke the records stupid
Mike Mut lol ok and? he was nowhere to be found in the super bowl against carolina
Mike Mut you do realize he was benched and was a backup week 17?
All ya some pussies and donald Trump too
@@mikemut8182 u idiot he got transformed into a game manager bc he sucked that bad
This was the last game we’ll get to see John Fox coach the Broncos before he coached my bears. BTW, thanks for the upload, NFL Throwback
Ever since Peyton manning left the colts actually have a winning percentage vs Manning
Take away Manning's Super Bowl wins and Luck had a better career . . . when they went head to head. LOLOLOLOLOL
@@jedwing Except for the fact Manning blows Luck away in nearly every measurable QB stat
@@kieferculligan4029 he also had a career that was twice as long with only 1 major injury with 2 HOF WRs.
@@kieferculligan4029 Lol yes there is that.
THANK YOU for not making us listen to the incomplete chants.
I remember watching this at my buddy’s first apartment and how excited I was when Indy stunned Denver after getting beat by them in week one. I miss these days and hope my boys are able to get back to this level of ass kicking ASAP. #ColtStrong
I remember this game and being so shocked we won
Never be shocked when Peyton Manning gags in a playoff game. He is the complete antithesis of Tom Brady.
I loved this game!!! What about 2013 Bucs @ Seahawks that was a good game
As a Pats fan, I respect and I miss Peyton Manning. He and Brady made the rivalry between the Colts/Broncos and my Patriots great. I wish he can come back so that he and Brady can have the great rivalry again.
I remember this game. This was the beginning of Peyton’s downfall.
Peyton won a super bowl in 2016....
LJ Serrato dude but he still sucked that season and he sucked in the super bowl. He did just enough for his team to win. His defense gets 90% of the credit for that super bowl run
@@lerrato6027 and? lol, could barely throw the ball too.
LJ Serrato well ur right but he didn’t perform that well. It was that legendary defense the broncos had which led them to the win.
@@bendrescher7185 It's not _how_ you win that matters, it's _if_ you win.
The secondaries for both teams were absolute FIRE
11:24 as a Redskins fan, it gives me joy to see LaRon Landry going for the huge hit only to whiff and give up a first down
😂
Rest In Peace DT🙌🏻
Imagine if we saw a Andrew Luck vs Russell Wilson Superbowl that year man it would've been fun to watch
Would’ve been but as a colts fan the offense of line would have to work there ass off against that great Seahawks defense and the colts defense would have to stop a good offense which was the Seahawks that year, but u never know what might happen. Seeing luck and Russell would’ve been amazing specially cause they where both drafted in the same class would’ve been a cool story line .
we would’ve thrashed the colts, just like the pats did em
@@jaylenfairley9563 colts faced off against the super bowl champion version of the seahawks and they did amazing against them, hawks did amazing too, but colts were a little better that game, so it would be a back and forth showdown
Damn I remember being in juvenile hall watching this game and how surprised I was when the broncos lost I thought they where gonna Come back from that Super Bowl loss against the Seahawks and make it all the way after that 2014 season I remember they signed Frank Gore and I was like damn that team is winning a super bowl I remember me and the guards where talking about but after that that’s when Andrew Lucks career started going downhill.. but I really wanted the broncos to win it all since my cowboys got robbed by the refs against the pacs
I still cringe when Peyton doesn't run for the first down with an open field in front of him LOL
TY ate up Talib this game.. still questioning why Del Rio didn’t adjust and put CHJ on him
He gave Harris the business the following season when Andrew lacerated his kidney & T.Y. was doubtful to play.
James Hall II lol 5 rec 82 yards a solid game
@@54PhillipBaca That's 16 yds a clip when he was doubtful to play with a bad foot. Mind you that Denver defense carried them to the chip that year & the week before, they held Rodgers to 77 yards passing & we gave them massive fits to the point where Talib poked Dwayne Allen in the eye late in the game.
Wow, Peyton's overthrows on those Emmanuel Sanders go routes were embarrassing. Wayyy too much air underneath those and not enough zip. You can see Sanders getting frustrated, especially on the second one. Poor guy's arm was pretty much gone by this point.
This was way too soon. I felt the pain running up my arm. Thanks, NFL Throwback.
The Bengals game on Monday night was the beginning of the end for Manning. He was so good at the beginning of that 2014 season and his body just failed him that Monday night
As a Colts fan, I remember this game as the arm punt game lol
As a Colts fan, I still don't know how we actually won this game
My Broncos were listless on offense the entire game. And your guys showed up to play and got the job done.
I believe this was Peyton’s 9th 1 and done playoff season. Smh.
Saaaddd isn't it!!😞
And 6th 1 and done at home
I think it’s underrated how good vonte Davis was in this game
I’m a huge Peyton Manning time, and that was the very first time I’ve seen that man play like garbage. The next year vs chiefs and panthers he looked horrendous.

@Byrdee Blanco correct.
this game was such a STRUGGLE for peyton manning, I knew he was toward the end at this point
Was at this game and shit was sad at the moment but now I realize I got to watch a hall of fame performance from Andrew Luck
Its really depressing watching the Broncos offensive in this game. After that first TD drive (aided by penalty) they scored 6 points the final 50+ minutes of the game. You can tell Manning already declined a ton, he threw about 8 deep balls and could only connect on 1.
He wasn't even very close on many of those, and they lacked the howitzer effect his passes used to have with the crazy arc
He was injured. Torn quad.
@@PartheNaan No plantar fasciitis injury on L foot.
John Harris nope. He torn his planter fascia in 2015 the following season against the Chiefs.
This game was disappointing for us Broncos fans, but it didn't hurt as bad as the divisional vs the Ravens in 2012.
how about super bowl 48?
Man, it's crazy to think when defenses would plan against Peyton, the first priority would be *to keep him off the field* . Such a legend, I miss seeing him keeping defenses on their toes...
That Broncos secondary sent 3 guys to the brow bowl, plus Ware and Miller as well. No idea how this team didn't win the SB this year.
Because Manning played like shit AGAIN in the playoffs, which pretty much sums up his post season career.
All that celebrating just to lose 45-7.
Still would be happy to win a playoff game.
And blame Brady for Deflategate

I loved that afc postseason lineup that year
Crazy match up/storyline could've been Ravens and Colts but sadly the Ravens secondary had to be awful in 2014 even though Flacco was having a career year. If only we had beat the patriots...
Robert Estes Ravens vs Patriots was the REAL AFC championship game that year
Troy Mathis you damn right about that
Was that when he dropped the TD pass in end zone?
Ryan Baumgart na that was 2011... 2014 was when Torrey Smith didn’t even try to go for the ball and it got intercepted in the endzone
Troy Mathis Denver would have been a better match up than Indy against the Pats, although Peyton was injured
As well as the Colts played that day, makes ya wonder what happened at New England the next weekend🤐🫣🙄
Ernie Adams brought me here he said he couldn’t comprehend how the colts won this game and I agree but hey that’s why you play the game
I remember being so happy for Indy this game, being a pats fan we needed someone to knock off Denver because NE just couldn’t get past em in the postseason lol
Broncos would've had to come to New England if they won this game. They weren't beating the Patriots in the 2014 Playoffs.
I honestly love this channel I’m new to it (subscribed) I’ve been watching these videos too many times yesterday now today
This was a very weird game to watch. Truly didn’t expect Denver to lose this.
I was impressed by the DBs showing defense wins championships.
Now they'll both meet at home on a Sunday morning and watch Eli.
Another Peyton Manning playoff choke. Peyton fumbles away the lead and the Broncs never get close to winning.
9 (NINE!!!) one-and-dones. 6 (SIX!!) at home. Those records will never be broken.
Wow, it is true. You Denver Broncos never win nothing when you wearing the full Orange Jerseys.

RUMBLIN BUMBLIN STUMBLIN what a play by Doyle
I remember watching this game I was so hyped after the first drive we scored. I thought we was gonna get a big win and then all downhill from there. Happy Peyton was able to get his ring the following year.❤️
Will peyton go to the hof on saturday?
DT and Sanders just not giving AF on that 4th and 1 and not blocking for CJ hurts me still to this day. He might ave taken it to the endzone and been a gamechanger. Everything happens for a reason, this game lead to Elway firing John Fox and then hiring Gary Kubiak. Got us a superbowl out of it.
Now post the AFC champions game 💀
The PAT MCAFEE SHOW brought me here…one day after the Cowboys signed T.Y. Hilton…Good Luck T.Y.
Ah good times in 10th grade. Right after the Dez Bryant play and I honestly didn't think IND had a chance to win so I choose to do my homework, went on ESPN gamecenter a little later and boom I found out they were winning.
Damn. The torn quad game. This game is the reason Peyton was AWFUL the next year. Dude coulda played as long as Brady if he didn't fuck his quad up
Damn Vontae Davis was pro bowler that year before he retired at halftime 😭💯
Love the Colts win !!👍🏈
Luck was a great example that there are good QB's...and then there are great QB's.

That's tough
One of the only times it was his fault.
@@theunpopularopinionatedten4951 The 2002 41-0 Loss against the Jets in the wildcard round and the 2012 Divisional Round loss against the Ravens were also.
@@chandlersbryant4047 1999, 2002, and 2014 were the ones that were either on him, or mostly on him.
Admittedly, Luck has one of the smoothest throwing pass you ever see.. Peyton's timing was way off in the first half and sort of sloppy in the second half. I do recall his ankle slowed his timing and throwing accuracy that year. The bum ankle and sore hand slowed his game down a lot at the end of his life but did finish his career with a SB win with a gimpy ankle!
