Manning vs. Brady: The Rundown


Manning-Brady I: The Replacement
September 30, 2001 - Foxboro Stadium
Brady was not yet a name. He replaced the injured Bledsoe and relied on his defense to get their first win on the season against their then division rival.
Brady: 13/23 for 168
Manning: 20/34 for 196, 1 TD, 3 INT
Pats 44, Colts 13

Manning-Brady II: The Triple Threat
October 21, 2001 - RCA Dome
Brady was seen as a decent replacement and David Patten was the star for the Pats: running, catching and throwing for a touchdown. The question after the game: "Is Jim Mora's job in jeopardy?"
Brady: 16/20 for 202, 3 TD
Manning: 22/34 for 335, 1 TD
Pats 38, Colts 17

Manning-Brady III: The Goalline Stand
November 30, 2003 - RCA Dome
After Brady led the Pats to a 31-10 lead in the 3rd quarter, Manning came back and had 1st and goal from the 2, in the final minute, trailing 34-38. Three failed runs and one incomplete pass, and the Patriots had beaten the Colts yet again.
Brady: 26/35 for 236, 2 TD, 2 INT
Manning: 29/48 for 278, 4 TD, 1 INT
Pats 38, Colts 34

Manning-Brady IV: The Playoffs
January 18, 2004 - Gillette Stadium
Manning was riding 2 playoff wins against Denver, and at Kansas City, but couldn't overcome the Patriots. This was New England's 14th straight victory and set up their second Super Bowl appearance with Tom Brady. The Pats led 15-0 at halftime, riding Peyton's 4 interceptions to the big game.
Brady: 22/37 for 237, 1 TD, 1 INT
Manning: 23/47 for 237, 1 TD, 4 INT
Pats 24, Colts 14

Manning-Brady V: The Rematch
January 16, 2005 - Gillette Stadium
Bad weather, and another bad performance by Peyton Manning. This game was all Patriots. Manning is now 0-7 all-time in Foxboro and Brady is currently 7-0 in the playoffs. Once again, Manning came in after beating Denver -- the Patriots went on to beat the Steelers and then the Eagles in the Super Bowl.
Brady: 18/27 for 144, 1 TD
Manning: 27/42 for 238, 1 INT


Manning-Brady VI: The Revenge
November 7, 2005 - Gillette Stadium
Manning finally beat Brady, the Pats, and won in Foxboro to top it off. This made the Colts 8-0 and chasing immortality. Both quarterbacks played well, but this time the Colts had the better team. Unfortunately for the Colts, this year their playoff obstacle they could not overcome was the Steelers.
Manning: 28/37 for 321, 3 TD, 1 INT
Brady: 22/33 for 265, 3 TD
Colts 40, Pats 21

Manning-Brady VII: The Surprise
November 5, 2006 - Gillette Stadium
Brady really is human. And the Colts got the better of him. Even in Foxboro, Brady was the one throwing interceptions, not Manning.
Manning: 20/36 for 326, 2 TD, 1 INT
Brady: 20/35 for 201, 4 INT
Colts 27, Pats 20

Manning-Brady VIII
January 21, 2007 - RCA Dome
After 7 meetings, Brady is 5-2, but Manning has won the most recent games. But in the playoffs, Brady is 2-0. This will be the first home playoff game for the Colts against Brady's Patriots. The Colts are early 3 point favorites, but anything can happen. Here are the QB's stats, head to head.

Brady: 137/210 for 1,453 yards, 10 TD, 7 INT, rating = 87.26
Manning: 169/278 for 1,931 yards, 12 TD, 11 INT, rating = 79.59
