Peyton Manning is the king of 1-and-done with an astounding 9.

But did you know that 6 of those 1-and-done losses were with 12+win teams?

One and Dones with 12+win teams:

Peyton Manning 6

Brady, Bradshaw, Staubach, Warner, Marino, Elway, Kelly, Montana, Young, Hurts, Mahomes, Aikman, Warner, Wilson, McNabb, Flacco, Cunningham, Stafford, Burrow, and Favre --- Combined for 7

By one-and-done, do you mean losing in your first playoff game of the postseason? I'm guessing so, but you don't actually say it.

As we saw this past season with Burrow and the Bengals, there is only just so much a QB can do. The Defense has to come to play as well. What were the scores of the 6 games?

Manning was a colossal choke artist.

He had 3 playoff games in about 13 months vs Denver(2x) and the red carpet D Chiefs where he had 12 TDs and 0 picks in those 3 playoff games.

In his other 24 playoff games he had 28 TDs and 25 picks... with 1 or 2 HoF WRs in every game in Indy and an elite offense in Denver.

If there is only so much that Peyton Manning can do then he is a schmoe, and not a great QB.

His brother was a better playoff QB, winning 8 games in 2 playoff runs where almost every team was clearly better than his team.

Joe Flacco was a way better playoff QB than Manning. Flacco had 10 game playoff stretch with 24 TDs to 4 picks.

7 of those 10 games were road games and an 8th was neutral (SB Win)

They faced each other in Denver and both got the ball in OT. Flacco sucked less.

Manning found an open Corey Graham to seal the game for Baltimore. I'm not sure what Manning's defense had to do with that throw.

Manning was a 77 rated SB passer. In 4 games he had 3 passing TDs to his team and 2 to the other teams.
