W2WF: No. 23 NC State

In 2003, Indianapolis advanced to the AFC Championship against New England by scoring 79 points in the Wild Card and Divisional rounds. Peyton Manning was particularly strong, throwing eight touchdowns, and the Colts appeared virtually unbeatable against the Patriots. But he had a disastrous game in Foxboro, throwing four interceptions en route to a 24-14 Patriot victory.

Video later surfaced of backup quarterback Damon Huard mimicking Manning's signature moves and line calls at the line of scrimmage. His posturing helped appropriately prepare the defense for everything he would do, and Huard later internal MVP honors for helping the Patriots advance to the Super Bowl.
