Peyton was definitely owed a couple good runs from his defense, though. He probably had worse luck with defenses outside of 06 and 15 than probably Rodgers, Brees and Mahomes, honestly.

The 09 team was his biggest missed opportunity for me. Colts had a real shot at 16-0 and gave that up, then they still get to the SB and were right there and Peyton threw the killer INT while they were driving down the field at the end. Probably should have been his crowning moment but instead Brees won it all. He still won 2 titles but they were both seasons where he didn't play great in the playoffs and the defense stepped up.
It's also really funny how Manning, Brady and Rodgers all were great but none of their best regular season teams won it all. 07 Pats, 09 Colts, 11 Packers were all teams that could have gone undefeated and looked unstoppable and none of them won a title.
