The brand new NFL franchise Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan recently shared an intriguing story about Peyton Manning’s rivalry with Tom Brady. While Ryan was talking about his opportunity to play with the Colts, he did get some questions about his mentor Peyton Manning. Ryan was quick to enter into storytime mode as he recalled one of his career highlight achievements as an Atlanta Falcons player. With the help of Ryan and his story, the NFL fans get a glimpse of Peyton Manning and his legendary quest to beat Tom Brady at every opportunity. While talking about what he learned from Manning, Ryan states [https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/03/26/peyton-mannings-pre-super-bowl-call-to-matt-ryan-revealed-a-deeper-truth/], “When we won the NFC Championship [in Atlanta], we left the stadium, we went to dinner. And I was at dinner with my family, we were kind of celebrating. The first call I got was from Peyton. And he was like, all right, here’s how you’re gonna map out your two weeks.” The Peyton Manning experience seems to have been enough for Ryan to understand how determined he was towards winning. Ryan quickly stopped Manning while letting him know that he was trying to savor their NFC Championship victory. In his Pro Football Talk report, Mike Florio believes that Manning wasn’t trying to help Matt Ryan. But rather he was trying to stop his then-arch nemesis, Tom Brady from winning. MATT RYAN’S REVELATIONS GIVE INSIGHT INTO MANNING-BRADY AND THEIR RIVALRY Despite being junior by nearly 2 years, Brady [http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tom-brady/] and Manning have had some battles when playing against each other in the NFL. They have squared off against each other four times in the AFC Championship game. They had two AFC Championship meetings while Peyton Manning [http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/peyton-manning/] was a member of the Super Bowl-winning Denver Broncos. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-news-peyton-manning-gets-a-unique-youthful-gift-for-his-46th-birthday/] The then-Patriots QB Brady finished with an overall record of 8-9 against the Broncos [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/denver-broncos/]. The rivalry [https://predominantlyorange.com/2022/02/01/peyton-manning-statement-tom-brady/] between both players was iconic and regarded as one of the greatest one-on-one battles in NFL history. But while Manning has retired and is now a Hall of Famer, Brady continues his pursuit of winning. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-506636696.jpg] The new Colts [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/indianapolis-colts/] QB also enjoyed the duel between two of the greatest to ever step on the football field. He also learned how they approach the game and what distinguished them from every other NFL quarterback.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Indianapolis Colts 2022: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">Since being founded in Baltimore in 1953, the Colts have been a member club of the NFL. The storied franchise was one of three NFL teams to form the AFC following the 1970 merger. Their time in Baltimore was fruitful, to say the least as they advanced to the Playoffs 10 times and won 3 NFL championships.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-500623 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210102195552/india.png" alt="" width="905" height="755" />
<p style="text-align: center">Additionally, the Colts went 1-1 in Super Bowl appearances during their time in Baltimore, and it's clear that they were shaping up to be a legacy franchise. The relocation to Indianapolis came in 1984, and their success seemingly continued in good measure. The club accrued one Super Bowl chip, two conference championships, and made 16 playoff appearances since joining under the Indianapolis banner.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Furthermore, the club has been home to some of the most prolific stars to ever step foot onto the football field. 1998-2011 marked the Peyton Manning era, and a Super Bowl chip was also consolidated under his reign. Although he was unceremoniously released from his contract by owner Jim Irsay in 2012, his impact on Colts club history cannot be ignored.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-320052 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200721000342/Peyton-Manning-Earnings.jpg" alt="" width="1500" height="1000" />
<p style="text-align: center">The 2020 season saw the franchise round out a 10-5 record and a number 2 placement in the AFC South. The Colts improved upon their 7-9 2019 season with a week 13 win over the Houston Texans and are making their run towards the playoffs. They will also attempt their first AFC South title since 2014.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Logo</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">The Colts’ color palette was picked as blue and white to reflect professionalism, reliability, and loyalty to their fans and football. The earliest logo saw a jumping horse wearing a football helmet and holding a rugby ball. The ‘Baltimore Colts’ wording was ditched in before carrying on the iteration from 1961 to 1978.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-500624 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210102195643/colts-1.jpg" alt="" width="720" height="454" />
<p style="text-align: center">From 1979- to the modern-day, the Indianapolis Colts went with the now-iconic horseshoe with seven white grommets. It was meant to signify luck and hope and became a signature for the franchise. The years that followed saw minor angle and contour changes, however, the essence remained the same. Finally, 2020 saw a new visual identity is added in the form of a Horseshoe taking on the letter ‘C’</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Owner Achievements</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">James Irsay is the owner and CEO of the Colts and he inherited the club from his father Robert Irsay, who built a fortune through successful heating and air-conditioning companies. James ‘Jim’ Irsay was 12 years old when his father purchased the then ‘Baltimore Colts’.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-500628 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210102195907/irsay.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1267" />
<p style="text-align: center">After graduating from SMU in 1982, Jim joined the Colts’ professional staff and was named the Vice President and General Manager in 1984. He became the youngest owner in the NFL at the age of 37, following a legal battle with his stepmother over ownership. As of January 1st, 2021, Jim Irsay’s net worth was estimated at $3 billion courtesy of Forbes.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Indianapolis Colts 2022 Sponsors</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">Allegiant signed a deal to become the official airline partner of the Indianapolis Colts. As part of the agreement, the upper terrace of the Lucas Oil Stadium was named the Allegiant Terrace level. What’s more, Allegiant will give Indiana residents the chance to compete to be permanently featured on one of the 133 banners on the terrace level.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">The franchise also has tie-ups with Caesars Entertainment and William Hill making the Sports Betting sponsors of the Colts. The deal sees sponsors of a free-to-play ‘Pick 6 Predator’ game on the Colts Mobile app. Correct picks on the app are rewarded with weekly prizes, and all participants are entered into a chance to win a trip to Las Vegas to stay at the Caesars Entertainment property.</p>

Tom Brady

Who is Tom Brady? Tom Brady is regarded as one of the NFL&#8217;s greatest quarterbacks of all time. He has won the most Super Bowls in NFL history and is considered one of the biggest steals in NFL Draft history. The New England Patriots drafted the Michigan prospect at 199th overall in the 2000 NFL draft. He stayed with the New England Patriots for 20 seasons, winning several divisional titles, nine AFC Championships, and seven Super Bowls. However, he left the Patriots and joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ahead of the 2020 NFL season. GLENDALE, ARIZONA &#8211; DECEMBER 25: Tom Brady #12 of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers prepares for a game against the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium on December 25, 2022, in Glendale, Arizona. (Photo by Norm Hall/Getty Images) After leading the Buccaneers to the Super Bowl LV trophy in 2021, Brady signed a 2-year extension with Tampa Bay. He retired after the 2021-2022 NFL campaign, following his Divisional Round loss against the Los Angeles Rams. However, he decided to return to the league after just 40 days. Alas, last year in 2023, Tom Brady said goodbye to his professional football career through a short but heart-warming clip. Now, he enjoys his time with his family and focuses on off-gridiron ventures. Tom Bradyâ€™s early life and family Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. was born in the state of California, in the city of San Mateo. He is the fourth child of Galynn Patricia and Thomas Brady Sr, before which they had three daughters. He was raised as a Catholic and belonged to a family of mixed ethnicities. While Brady is Irish from his father&#8217;s side, his mother belongs to a diverse ancestry of Sweden, Norway, Germany, and Poland. His father often jokingly calls himself the &#8216;Original Tom Brady&#8217;. Laying the foundation of an insurance company, the father of four transferred his work ethic and his zest to continue on the path of victory to his son. Brady Jr&#8217;s mother Galynn has always been known as the pillar of strength in his more than 2 decade-long career. She suffered through extremely tough times during her diagnosis of breast cancer but was quick to recover in 2017. His parents still live together in his childhood home back in California. As a child, Brady was raised in an extremely competitive environment with three sisters- Maureen, Julie, and Nancy. Maureen is the oldest of them all and remained inclined toward the sports world as well. She earned a name for herself by being the All-Star American softball pitcher at Fresno State. While she shifted her career path to nursing soon after, her sisters surely followed her into the game of softball. Nancy moved on from the sport to become a Public Health Technical Advisor. Julie, the sister who shares the closest bond with Tom Brady, married former Boston Red Sox player Kevin Youkilis. Currently, all three of them are busy raising their kids and living with their families, rarely gaining an opportunity to have a get-together.
