Peyton Manning congratulates Reggie Wayne

INDIANAPOLIS -- Indianapolis Colts receiver Reggie Wayne had little interest in talking about former teammate Peyton Manning heading into their playoff match.

"[Manning's] on the other team right now," Wayne said last week. "I'll holler at him later. Right now, it's all about [No.] 12."

That time came Sunday.

After the Colts beat the Denver Broncos to advance to the AFC Championship Game, Manning found Wayne on the field and congratulated him on the victory.

"It’s family," Wayne said. "Even when you’ve played with him and they've moved on, you still have that relationship. Wish each other the best. I expect nothing less from Peyton by him coming over and congratulating and wishing us well. If it was vice versa, I would have done the same thing."

In what could be the final meeting between Manning and Wayne, the Broncos quarterback finished 26-of-46 for 211 yards, was sacked twice and had only one touchdown pass. Wayne didn't have any receptions, as he was only targeted once by quarterback Andrew Luck.
