In what is widely considered to be the best Brady-Manning game of all time and one of the greatest games in NFL history, Peyton Manning engineers an 18 point comeback, the largest in conference championship history, culminating in a 3-yard touchdown run by Joseph Addai to take the lead at 38-34 with 1:02 left to play. Tom Brady would have one last chance to drive his team to victory, but was intercepted in Colts territory, killing the drive and sending Indianapolis to the Super Bowl. Manning had never beaten Brady in a postseason game up to this point, and was a combined 2-6 against him leading up to the contest, therefore earning this game the name "Manning's Revenge.'
