Manning throws away bid for another comeback

MIAMI: Peyton Manning spent the whole season building toward a Super Bowl crown, a win that certainly would put him among the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history.

And then he threw it all away.

Blocked out of the play, Manning could only watch as Tracy Porter returned an interception for a clinching, 74-yard touchdown in the final minutes on Sunday that gave the New Orleans Saints a 31-17 victory over the Indianapolis Colts.
