Peyton Manning joined a very exclusive club Sunday when the Broncos beat the Colts. It's a club that consists of only two people: Manning and Brett Favre.
What do Favre and Manning have in common? They're the only two starting quarterbacks in NFL history who have beaten all 32 teams.
After the Broncos' 31-24 win over the Colts, NBC's Michele Tafoya asked Manning what he thought about joining Favre in the highly exclusive club: "It means I'm old," Manning said. "Don't tell me stuff like that."
Manning was the first quarterback to beat 31 teams and he did that in Week 8 of 2007 when his Colts beat Carolina -- a team that was coached by Manning's current coach, John Fox. Manning failed in his first crack at 32 when the Broncos lost to the Colts last season.
Favre reached the 32-team milestone in 2009 when the Vikings beat the Packers in Week 4. Like Manning, Favre also reached 31 in 2007, when his Packers beat the Chiefs in Week 9.
The Favre-Manning 32 Club could have a new member as soon as Week 12. Saints quarterback Drew Brees has beaten 31 teams and he can make it 32 if New Orleans can beat the Ravens on Monday Night Football on Nov. 24.
Tom Brady has also beaten 31 teams, but unless the Patriots decide to cut or trade him, it doesn't look like Brady will be joining the club anytime soon. Then there's Kerry Collins, the retired journeyman quarterback who beat 31 teams during his 17-year career. Collins never beat the Dolphins though, going 0-5 against Miami.
