You know be the same quarterback it was all -- long they'll look -- victory cement Peyton Manning's legacy as one of the greatest quarterback of all time. You know listen. I don't think he has to win the game -- the game to submit any of those things of the Peyton Manning is. Proven year after year game cameo when he puts up unbelievable numbers. I don't go wobbly -- yeah I we just expected now and so he's gonna go down as one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play.
