For nearly two decades, Tom Brady and Peyton Manning didn’t just play football—they defined it. Their rivalry wasn’t just about wins and losses; it was the heart of an era, fueling debates, shaping legacies, and producing some of the most unforgettable showdowns in NFL history. The AFC often ran through one of them, and no matter how many times they clashed, the stakes never felt lower than life or death. But while the battles on the field were intense, off it, their respect for each other only grew.
Fast forward to today, and even in retirement, the ghosts of that rivalry still linger. Tom Brady is suffering from a tumultuous phase, navigating his roles with FOX and the Raiders! The former Patriots QB, who spent his first 20 seasons with the team, left many in awe with his latest revelation. Surprisingly, he disclosed his nightmares after ex-Colts quarterback Peyton Manning announced the Colts‘ reunion on Instagram.
Taking to his official IG handle, ex-NFL QB Manning, who played 14 seasons with the Indianapolis Colts, dropped the reunion update. “Getting the band back together in Indy next week to share stories from our Super Bowl XLI season. Gear up with Night of Champions merch at the link in bio,” he mentioned in the post. At this moment, he also shared a picture featuring himself while holding the Colts’ t-shirt. This t-shirt also featured the Colts’s formidable players.
However, surprisingly, the five-time Super Bowl MVP took to the comment section and admitted that he has been suffering from nightmares for 18+ years. “That group still gives me nightmares,” he mentioned.
Tom Brady dominated the Colts multiple times while playing against them in the 2001, 2003, and 2011 seasons. And 15-time Pro Bowler Brady played against 14-time Pro Bowler Manning 17 times with an 11-6 record. With their fierce rivalry, they thrilled NFL fans. This comment is an acknowledgment of just how intense those battles were.
