It looks like Peyton Manning probably won his final meeting against Bill Belichick’s defense on Sunday, considering it seems highly unlikely Manning will return for another season (much less make another Super Bowl). That means it’s the end of an era. No more Brady-Manning matchups and no more awkward hugs at midfield for Belichick and company. Sunday’s hug between Belichick and Manning was anything but awkward. After thousands of hours of preparation in the NFL, there’s no doubt the two have nothing but respect for each other. That became evident after the game when Manning confessed to Belichick it was probably his “last rodeo.”
