There is also the outside division rivalry of the Colts and Patriots when Manning was on the Colts and both teams seemed to always be trying to overcome one another for top dog in the AFC.

Funny how they used to both be in the AFC East, but the rivalry didn't really catch that spark until the Colts moved to the AFC South.
