Peyton Manning easily could've run away from Tom Brady and the New England Patriots when he was figuring out his post-Indianapolis Colts career.
The legendary quarterback was a free agent before the 2013 season and, after being beaten in two of the three Patriots-Colts playoff matchups against Brady, Manning had the option to move to the NFC and not have to face the New England juggernaut until the Super Bowl.
But Manning embraced the challenge, and on Brady's "Let's Go!" podcast Monday night, he explained that staying in the AFC to face the Patriots was one of the reasons he chose to sign with the Denver Broncos.
