When Brady and Manning were both still in their in their prime in 2013, the Broncos easily beat the Patriots in that year's AFC Championship game, and the same probably would have happened one year earlier in 2012 if the Broncos' defensive backs had not choked and whiffed on the 70-yard TD pass with 30 seconds left to play in the Mile High Miracle divisional playoff game in Denver.

Brady consistently had top ten defenses. Peyton did not. I kinda think Brady turned into Peyton at the end of his career. That defense was frustrating because they needed a good DT to solidify it. They finally got one in booger and had him one year. If they had a good DT I think it would have helped that defense so much and led to more wins.
