As Tom Brady and Peyton Manning face off for perhaps the last time on Sunday, the duo will be featured on the Sports Illustrated cover

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning will go down as two of the best quarterbacks in NFL history. Their rivalry has carried the NFL for numerous years. With the two legends squaring off for what might be the last time in their careers, Brady and Manning will share the front cover of Sports Illustrated this week.

The rivalry between Brady and Manning has been an epic one. Manning has the better regular season stats, as he has set numerous records that Brady likely won’t be able to break. Manning could be the best regular season quarterback of all-time, but Brady has four Super Bowls while Manning has only won one. Manning will have a chance to rewrite his legacy against Brady and potentially go out on top in the Super Bowl.

On the other side, Tom Brady will look to further cement his legacy as being a more successful quarterback than Manning by winning his fifth Super Bowl title. Manning and Brady have squared off four times in the playoffs with both quarterbacks winning two. It’s fitting that they’ll square off on Sunday because the AFC Championship game will likely determine the legacy of both quarterbacks.
