Despite him being a lifelong clot, I have always respected Manning and appreciated his ability and knowledge for the game - and this is coming from someone who bleeds teal and black.

 

I truly enjoyed our Jags facing Manning's clots because we knew we would be up for a real challenge, even if we ended up on the short end of the stick. Manning brought the best out of our players, defense and offense alike, despite being on the opposing team. You could tell that clot-week for Jacksonville was big and our players ALWAYS played them tough.
