It’s hard to argue too much with their list. They got No. 1 right; I’d tab that as the best NFL game of the last 50 years. The rest are a fun collection of contests between arguably the top two quarterbacks of this century, and perhaps of all time.

Here’s their list …

No. 10
2004 AFC Divisional Playoff (video not available)
The Patriots beat Manning’s Colts 20-3 in a defensive slugfest. Brady had just 18 completions for 144 yards, but it was good enough to win the game.

No. 9

No. 8
2013 AFC championship game (video not available)
The Broncos were fantastic in a 26-16 win to advance to the Super Bowl, taking a 23-3 lead early in the fourth quarter and holding on. Manning threw for 400 yards and two touchdowns.

No. 7

No. 6

No. 5

No. 4
