Peyton Manning has a losing record against only 4 quarterbacks (minimum 5 starts, including postseason), including the one he'll face this week. Philip Rivers is 4-3 against Peyton -- including wins in both of their two playoff meetings. So if Rivers is The Riddler to Manning's Batman, who, then, is The Joker? It's not Drew Bledsoe (also 4-3 vs Manning) or Tom Brady (9-4), two Bill Belichick students who can also claim winning records against Manning. How about an Ivy League grad with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and a 4-1 mark against quite possibly the best QB in NFL history – Jay Fiedler? Yep, that Jay Fiedler owns the best record of any NFL quarterback against Peyton Manning.
