Today is the Sheriff’s 44th birthday, so we celebrate looking back at his top 5 best moments with the Colts

Peyton Manning is the best quarterback in Colts franchise history. He is arguably the best player in franchise history. Because of his play and how well the team succeeded, the Colts got a new stadium. The city of Indianapolis got a Super Bowl, a new convention center, and new hotels.

The economic impact from his tenure with the team cannot be overstated. Many restaurants and bars were opened near Lucas Oil Stadium as well as the new convention center and hotels. There is even a hospital named after the former quarterback.

Today is Manning’s 44th birthday, so we thought it was appropriate to celebrate his five best moments in a Colts uniform. He played for the team from 1998-2011, so there will be quite a lot to choose from. Some are obvious and some are not so obvious.

Manning wasn’t just a great quarterback who put up unreal numbers. He was a great teammate that made his teammates around him better. Manning helped elevate the play of greats such as Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, and Edgerrin James.

Without further ado, here are the five best moments Manning had with the Colts. We start relatively early in Manning’s career. In fact, we start in just his second year after being taken number one overall by the team all the way back in 1998
