Peyton Manning Lights Victory Cigar After Tennessee Upsets Alabama

Moments after No. 6 Tennessee upset No. 3 Alabama 52–49 on a game-winning field goal as time expired, chaos ensued in Neyland Stadium, and for good reason.

After all, it was Tennessee’s first victory over Alabama in the last 15 tries, which is fitting considering that the Volunteers are in the process of putting together their best season in two decades.

As fans stormed the field, tore down the goalposts and celebrated their school’s monumental victory, Tennessee’s most famous football alum, Peyton Manning, was seen soaking in the victory celebration as well.

Manning was seen on video with a victory cigar as he exited the stadium on Saturday night.
