The Broncos may have lost, but Peyton Manning still had the class to say goodbye to a future Hall of Famer. Peyton Manning and Ray Lewis may be similar in age, but their careers are in completely different places. Manning was looking to reestablish his presence in the NFL after taking a year off due to a neck surgery, his fourth over his career. While Lewis is also recovering from an injury, he has decided this is it for him. It is either now or never for Lewis to win another Super Bowl, something he has not done since 2000. Well, Manning will luckily get another chance at Super Bowl glory while Lewis and the Baltimore Ravens advanced to the AFC Conference Game. Never being a sore loser, Manning went up to Lewis in the Ravens’ locker room to wish him luck in the playoffs and whatever he chooses to do after. He took his entire family there, but the media was already gone which made it extra special. It was a beautiful moment between two of the game’s best players. Future players can learn a thing or two from these two legends.
They don’t make em like these two anymore :).
