It's official: Tom Brady is just flat out a better football player than Payton Manning. [View all]

Tonight's game should end that debate for good.

Manning gets spotted a 24 point lead by the opposing team's fumbles, and he's still not good enough to beat Brady.

Broncos may be the first team in NFL history to lead a game by 24 points and wind up losing it by 24.

For whatever reasons, Brady's teams win tough games, and Manning's teams implode in them.
