1: Super Bowl Championship
Manning first made it to the final game of the season in 2007. As the signal caller for the Indianapolis Colts, he squared off against the Chicago Bears and quarterback Rex Grossman in Super Bowl XLI.
Though Grossman is a vastly inferior quarterback compared to Manning, the 2006 Bears actually finished No. 2 in the league in points per game under his guidance.
Return specialist Devin Hester brought the opening kickoff back 92 yards for a touchdown to put Chicago up 7-0. The Bears extended their lead up to 14-6 at the end of the first quarter, but ultimately Indy came out on top. The Colts outscored the Bears 23-3 in the final three-quarters en route to a 29-17 victory. Manning was named Super Bowl MVP for completing 25-of-38 passes for 247 yards, one touchdown, and one interception.
