In his 18 years as an NFL referee, Butch Hannah worked 14 playoff games and was an alternate for two Super Bowls — the ones Peyton Manning was victorious with the Indianapolis Colts (XLI, 2007) and Denver Broncos (50, 2016), respectively.
Hannah, 66, who is retired after last season, is proud to have worked with Manning and recently shared his stories about the future Hall of Famer with columnist Mark Wiedmer of the Times Free Press in Chattanooga, Tenn.
“Peyton’s next-to-last year, the Broncos were facing the Dolphins in Denver and the whole game was a struggle for them,” Hannah told Wiedmer.
