Peyton Manning's First Broncos Game! (Steelers vs. Broncos 2012, Week 1) 

Rest in piece DT ❤️🙁

Peyton’s era in Denver is one of the greatest of all time.

That touchdown by Tracy Porter was his first since Super Bowl XLIV, when he intercepted Peyton Manning. Enemies back in 2009. In 2012, they were on the same team.

Great time to be a Broncos fan 2012-2016

The acquisition of Peyton Manning is one of the all-time greatest free agency signings in the history of the NFL

This game really reminds me how good Big Ben was in his prime. His elusiveness is unbelievable at his size. An overlooked athlete for sure.

Man, this was an incredible debut for Peyton Manning in a bronco uniform

That catch at 6:42 from 97 on the sideline

I was born and raised in Steeler country, but I've been a Broncos fan since 1986. It was great seeing some of my all-time favorite Steelers and Broncos players on the field again. I wasn't prepared tho when I burst into tears seeing DT #88. What a great guy on and off the field. Rip Demaryius Thomas

As a colts fan, everyone we played the broncos from 2012-2015 I wanted the broncos to win every game. I just loved peyton manning that much

RIP Demaryius Thomas 🙏🏽

So nobody is gonna point out the fact that troy used an armbar to tackle Thomas!!!!! Dam near broke that man's arm

Wouldn’t have changed a thing being a bronco fan during these times 🤞🏼💙 (except that ravens divisional game that still haunts me)

Peyton was unstoppable with Denver

I remember in the car on my way to school when I was listening to the sports radio in Denver when the news broke that we signed Peyton and my dad and I sat there for an hour in rejoicing that he came. It was like when Brady joins Tampa it was perfect. We had the defense, the weapons we just needed the guy and that guy doesn't get much better than Peyton fucking Manning. So when this game rolled around I was SO HYPE to see what we would get and form that day forth what I would get to watch every Sunday was a masterclass on how to play quarterback and someone who had mastered the position to the highest degree, winning over 12 games every year making the Superbowl 2 times in 4 years, one of if not the best offenses of all time in 2013 as well, so yea thank you NFL Throwback for allowing me to relive this day where my brain said "Oh shit, this is about to be one helluva 4 year stretch".

Manning's first 3 years in Denver was easily the best 3-year stretch of his career and arguably the best ever by a QB (at least from a statistical standpoint). 38-10 QB record, 67.7% completion percentage, 14,863 passing yards, 131 passing TDs, and 36 interceptions (that's an average of 4,954 yards, 44 TDs and 12 INTs per season). Other than his last year, he was truly special.

6:41 That CATCH! WOW

Here before they change the title

Peyton Manning is one of my 3 favorite QBs ever. Always has been and I'm a Panthers fan.

The beginning of an unbelievable run in Denver.

All those "he's gonna break his neck, he's done" people sure were quiet after this game.

can’t sleep and y’all make it worse by posting lol

This was his first game since 2010, he was out for the entire year in 2011, and the colts went 2-14 and missed the playoffs.

I remember coming home to watch my Steelers and then them getting wiped. I was like 9. I was so excited and I still love Sunday night football

The year Peyton joined the Broncos was my first year I played football and my team was the Broncos. Been a fan since and definitely miss watching this Manning era!

Loved those times>What a team!!!! They're looking great this year too!!! Cant wait. Go Broncos!!!!

I was here this was my freshman year of high school what a time

Rofl Big Ben placing the football down at 8:34 in front of the sticks when he was a full yard short lol.

can you do Peyton's first win against the patriots? Also, I've been waiting for this!! thanks for the vid 👌👌👌👌

This was the start of a golden era for Broncos fans.

@6:40 casual one handed grab

Peyton made me be a Bronco Fan! Thank You!

Elite defense

Great game the Steelers wideouts, Wallace, Brown and Sanders they sure know how to pick up receivers in Pittsburgh. Tracy porter finally holding on to a ball wins the game!!!!

Is it weird to say this is one of my favorite losses? We rarely got the Ben/Manning matchup. Seemed like one or the other was hurt or something when their teams met. It's a rare matchup

I was at that game! I sat left side of giant titantron! I earned the incentive if I graduated from HS I get to watch Broncos play in Denver, and I did that! And boy it was high intensity being there for the first time! This was back in '12 I was 18 well 17 it was 3 days from my birthday that Broncos won and made me happy I have pics as well to prove it

so many stars in this game, demaryius thomas, antonio brown, von miller, peyton manning, big ben, champ bailey, tracy porter, troy polamalu, willis mcgahee, lawrence timmons, elvis dumervil, james harrison, chris harris jr holy cow.

I know this is a video dedicated to Peyton Manning but there are a good few people in this video who are either retired or on the verge of it, Sanders, Demaryius Thomas, AB, Stokley, and Eric Decker, Troy Polumalu, it just blows my mind to hear all those names again

As a pats fan its hard not to admire the way Pittsburgh can develop a receiver

This was a rematch of the playoff game in Denver year before the Tebow miracle. But it didn't feel that way with Tebow gone and Peyfon playing his first game with Broncos.

Man, this was almost 10 years ago. I'm 18 but this makes me feel old.

I was at this game! Paid $400 for nosebleed seats! Worth every penny! This is awesome to watch it from this point of view and relive it!

Was awesome being at this game

There’s just something about Troy Polamalu’s play-style that still seeks to amaze me 1:01

I love this channel

i forgot what it was like to watch the broncos win :'(

The amount of legends in this game is disgusting

Don't let Peyton Manning distract you from the fact that the Broncos had just eliminated the Steelers from the playoffs the season before with Tim Tebow at QB.

Back when people thought mike wallace was better than Antonio brown lol am i wrong?????????

I love peyton manning

Oh man do i miss the steelers linebacker core of the late 2000s they were so good

The WR’s the Steelers have had the last 15 years are just incredible. Few of em’ turned out to have their own downfalls (AB, Martaivus Bryant & TikTok Juju) but still doesn’t deny the talent Pittsburgh has had at the position for more than a decade now. Didn’t hurt having #7 @ QB either 🖤💛

Damn. Nice to see champ bailey on the field. Its been a while.

*Career Highlights of Steve Young would be awesome!*

That Broncos team was damn good!

I was there.. great game

Broncos haven't been the same since Manning retired Von Miller having baby mama problems and hasn't been able to stay healthy

hi i love this channel

Great times

This week, on Days of Our Steelers...*Hilarious theme music plays*

Hey nfl how can we look up and purchase entire seasons like ravens 07 or 2012 season

Been watching this and man some of the struggles looks similar to what Russ and the broncos are going through right now some good plays and than some stalls or miscues but hey Russ will be fine

What a nice early morning treat. I tell ya, If Elway hadn't gotten Manning to go to Denver than his (Elway's) reputation would've gone to the dogs far quickly. He did alright in finding talent everywhere else on the field but in terms of finding a QB? Well, that was Elway's biggest blind spot.

Truly this was an incredible debut for Peyton manning in a Broncos UNI

Lol got that Peyton vill ad before Peyton’s first game 😁

This was Pre-Omaha... It was still Hurry Hurry 😂

Why is no one talking about how Dominating Tracey porter was in this game man was playing like an all pro

Peyton Manning from From Week 4 of 2012 to Week 13 of 2014, Peyton Manning averaged 3 TD Passes per Game for the Broncos. (41 starts - 123 TD Passes) 34 Wins 7 Losses* (82.9% winning percentage) What his averages over those 41 starts would look like over a full 16 game season: 442/644 (68.6% completion rate) 5,259 yards (8.2 YPA) 49-50 TD Passes 10 Interceptions 111.7 Passer Rating Peyton was just different those 1st 3 seasons. Even when he lost his physical tools in 2015, he was still clutch when it mattered (109.1 Passer Rating in One Possession Games in the 4th Qtr) & that was enough along w/ a historic defense to win it all.

RIP DT88

LOL as a Houston Oiler fan nothing better then the Houston Oilers Steelers playing against each other

RIP Demaryius.

This was a great matchup

Good hard fought battle

Manning was probably like “Don’t think this means we’re cool, Tracy!”

How come Tracy portal always ended games with a pick six? 3 times that I know of

Damn Tracy Porter ⚜️⚜️

I like recent "First Start"s

I remember watching this game and we thought Big Ben would dominate! LOL

I’m not even goin to watch this video cuz I remember this game very well I came to comment that 😆

We really had no idea what PM would be like coming back...Wow! I can only hope that DangeRuss is this good!

The good old days

It’s crazy that in Denver from 2009 to 2012 they had Chris Harris von Miller champ Bailey Brian Dawkins Peyton manning and demaryius Thomas

Can y'all please do Jerry rice to raiders saga please 🖤

That guy Porter was not fucking around

Ayo anyone catch that one had snatch from a broncos player on the sidelines when Big Ben scrambled 😂 6:43 lmao

Big Ben vs The Sheriff was always a good matchup

With all due respect to GOAT Tom Brady, but Peyton Manning at his peak was simply the smartest, most skilled, and innovative quarterback I’ve ever watched play the game. Didn’t have TB12’s ice cold veins in Super Bowls, but nobody since Johnny Unitas did more to evolve the Quarterback position than #18. If only his neck held out a little longer, we could’ve seen him and Mahomes go head to head.

RIP DT

Oh how #88 has been missed

Let go broncos

What wr

9 Years Ago

ngl tracy porter was a monster even at this stage in his career

Peyton Manning's Broncos Game

The Peyton Manning Broncos Started 3 of the 4 Week 1 on Sunday Night Football 2012- Steelers 2013-Ravens (Thursday Opening Special) 2014- Colts

Steelers o Line probably had a tough week of practice after this

Roethlisberger still in the shotgun, with no running game.🤦🏻‍♂️

"IF HE GETS HIT HE'S GONNA BREAK HIS NECK" LOLOLOLOLOL It was ridiculous at the time and the claim is ridiculous looking back on it

TAKING IT TO THE HOUSE!!!!

Did anyone else see the one handed snag when Ben threw it away
