The Manning Family is 6-5 against Dallas. The six wins are all by Peyton and Eli.
 
That is wrong. Archie beat us in 1971 during our first Championship year. That was when we were still not sure whether to go with Morton or Staubach and it hurt us. Archie had a great game as I recall.

You are right! I was wrong. I forgot about that game. The breakdown is as follows:

Archie 1-3
Eli 3-1
Peyton 2-1

Archie started that 1982 game for the hapless Oilers. It was just a routine steamroller job for Dallas that night.

Don't like that one at all.

Me neither. Let's make it 3-2 after this weekend.

Against Dallas, Eli won one game in 2004, one in 2005, and one in 2006. He lost one in 2005 also.

Thank you sir. I was all of 4 years old when that game was played.. :D
 
In 1999 Peyton burned Deion sooooo bad on a play fake. Marvin blew right by him. He must have been open by 20 yards.

I was a junior in high school. Archie came out hot in that game and the Oilers scored first with a TD. But from then on it was pretty much all Dallas. Dallas wore blue jerseys. Michael Downs had an 86 yard fumble return for a TD.

Interesting thing about the very next game. It was with the Saints and it was on my TV schedule. They showed the kickoff and the first play or two, then my CBS station switched to the Commanders and stayed there for the whole game. I was ticked off.
