And he was kinda lousy in the first SB run as well.
260 yards/gm and a 3/7 TD to INT ratio.
He absolutely deserves some credit for the comeback against the Patriots but it's not like Brady played well in that game.
In that playoff run, inarguably his best, he got Brady in a C- game and was barely able to sneak by because his center recovered a fumble in the end zone. That was his apex SB win.
Compare that to Mahomes and his 3 championship runs:
2019: The Texans comeback and 49ers 4th quarter explosion
2022: The drive to get into FG range against Cincy and a nearly perfect game against Philly
2023: 4th quarter comeback against Buffalo and the drive to get to OT and winning drive in OT against SF. Not to mention the cumulative value of getting through what was, historically, the hardest SB run in NFL history.
Manning doesn't have a single post-season run that approaches the worst of Mahomes 3 championships.
Manning's post-season resume, even when you look at the good moments, just kinda sucks.
