What a ****ing myth that is...
Manning outplayed Brady (who through a season ending pick that year) in the AFC Championship game...and then played a marvelous game in the Super Bowl...they were down 7-0 and then he threw a 3rd and 20 pick on their first series...and then all he did after that was control the clock for 2/3 of the game and win in easy fashion against a defense that took Rex Grossman to the Super Bowl.

Manning was a pedestrian 25 for 38 with a TD and pick.
The Colts OL dominated the Bears, running for over 180 yards. Their defense, meanwhile, had two picks, one for a TD and held the offensively-challenged Bears (a fairly mediocre SB team, BTW) to less than 300 yards of total offense.
But yeah -- it was all Manning...
Seriously, you can't make this stuff up.
