There are no bigger quarterbacks from the 2000s than Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. Not only are they two of the best and most winningest, but they've also delivered a few of the greatest games in recent memory. Manning's upcoming retirement announcement means that the rivalry ends with the Broncos' AFC Championship victory over the Patriots.

And Brady is OK with that. The Patriots quarterback took to Facebook to pay his respects to the sheriff.

Brady can still rest knowing he's on the winning side of the rivalry. He won 11 out of the 17 games he played against Manning. However, this is the one Sunday Brady gets to pay homage.
