Peyton Manning bamboozling the Dallas Cowboys was an all-time epic play

Whilst not a trick play, Peyton Manning’s touchdown run against the Dallas Cowboys remains one of the greatest pieces of deception in NFL history. 

Peyton Manning is one of the best quarterbacks in the history of the National Football League. Whilst he was part of one of the greatest rivalries in league history with Tom Brady, the fact that Brady has won five more Super Bowls, more passing yards, touchdowns and a whole host of other records, it’s fair to say that history will always put him firmly in second place in that debate.

But that’s not to say he wasn’t impressive when it came to throwing the ball.

Tony Romo has 3 games in which he had a passer rating of 140+ and the
