In front of a raucous crowd at Lucas Oil Stadium Sunday afternoon, the Indianapolis Colts honored one of their own and undoubtedly one of the greatest to ever throw a pigskin in newly-retired quarterback Peyton Manning.
The five-time NFL Most Valuable Player had his No. 18 officially retired by the franchise and placed in the team's Ring of Honor during halftime of the Colts' game against the visiting San Francisco 49ers.
Peyton Manning:

To cap off the festivities, and to take a stroll down memory lane, Manning lined up behind former center Jeff Saturday for one last throw, sending a touchdown pass into the end zone to one of his go-to receivers in Reggie Wayne.
So this just happened. 👀
