This 21-yard TD pass sealing the Colts' 2004 overtime win against the San Diego Chargers has to go down as one of Peyton Manning's greatest plays. That was simply because it took the Colts legend past Dan Marino's tally of 48 TD passes in a single NFL regular season.

Manning found Brandon Stokley in the end zone to surpass the total posted by the Dolphins legend in 1984.

This 1-yard trundle to the end zone was Peyton Manning's first rushing TD in five years.

The Colts opted to run a bootleg down on the Dallas 1-yard line, and it definitely worked: Manning fooled just about everybody in the AT&T Stadium that day, including a bewildered cameraman who got caught out following the mass of bodies at the line while Peyton Manning jogged in for a superb six points.

This game was tied at 48 points apiece deep in the fourth quarter. But Colts' K Matt Prater held his nerve to send one through the posts with just three seconds left on the clock. A truly epic encounter and a game for the ages, the Colts won it 51-48.
