Another exciting game was the 2004 opener between Indy at NE ... The Colts score in the 4th qrt to cut the Patriot lead to 27-24 but the Colts with Vanderjagt miss a FG at the end. The Manning-Brady rivalry was heating up.

That was always my favorite Manning vs Brady game. From that same weekend 2004 the Steelers and Raiders played a great game with Oakland coming back from 2 touchdowns in the fourth to tie it. Pittsburgh won with a FG in the end, bunch of legends on the field.Brian wolf wrote: ↑Wed Sep 10, 2025 12:35 am Another exciting game was the 2004 opener between Indy at NE ...

One that I'm surprised has not been mentioned is Peyton Manning's 7-TD game against the Ravens to start his 55-TD season. Still hard to believe he was absolutely washed two years later. Nerve injuries are a bitch.

Had the Bills not had the game winning FG drive, might have been criticized for going for two point conversions too soon.
It was a replica of last year's AFC Championship Game. The opponent committed a penalty on the extra point. Sean McDermott chose to take the penalty, and attempt a 2 point conversion from the 1 yard line. Both times, it failed. They scored a touchdown later, and went for 2 again... and failed.
