Peyton Manning has built a great media career for himself after his playing days ended with two Super Bowl trophies and a bunch of NFL records. The former Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos quarterback is great in front of a camera.

One of the best things he does are his long-form interviews on ''Peyton's Places,'' Recently he got together with current Los Angeles Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh — a former Colts quarterback himself — and talked about the 1996 AFC Championship Game that the Colts lost in heart-breaking fashion to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Colts Roundtable publisher Jake Arthur wrote about the interview, a terrific conversation between the two football legends. Here's the full story.

Harbaugh played quarterback for the Colts from 1994-97 after seven years with the Chicago Bears. He retired after brief stops with Baltimore and San Diego. He won a national championship as a coach in college with Michigan in 2023 and has been coaching the Los Angeles Chargers ever since.

Manning replaced Harbaugh as the Colts' quarterback and played from there from 1998 to 2011. He finished his carer in Denver, playing for the Broncos for four seasons. He won one Super Bowl with both teams.
