Manning has never won a game in Foxboro. Foxboro for Manning is like what Arrowhead was for Elway. Both parks we're like doom dungeons for those QB's.
And, bad weather(snow) makes a big difference. Play'n in those kinda conditions is a huge disadvantage to a passing game. Don't get me wrong, the Pats I'm sure knew how to play him, but, everything else they needed like fortune all went their way as well.

Look at the game that the Chiefs played against the Colts last season.
We played aggressive, in your face defense, applying pressure on Manning and the receivers.
Disrupted their timing, and watched as Manning began to wilt under the constant pressure.
All of that in the first half.
In the second half, Gun started to back off, utilizing more of a prevent mode, which, of course gave Manning the chance to nearly lead the Colts back to victory.
The point is, in the first half, when the Chiefs were playing aggressive, physical D, Manning's effectiveness was neutralized to some extent, much the same as it is when he plays the Pats.
And the weather wasn't a factor.
And he usually struggles against Jax for exactly the same reasons.
