IRVING, Texas -- Peyton Manning did not have a long history with the Dallas Cowboys. In 18 seasons, he played against the Cowboys five times and had a 3-2 record. He had 11 touchdown passes and eight interceptions

Manning played only once at Texas Stadium and once at AT&T Stadium but they were two memorable games for different reasons.

In 2006, Manning made his first trip as a professional to Texas Stadium with the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts entered the game with a 9-0 record and people were wondering if they would do what the 1972 Miami Dolphins did: finish the season undefeated.

The Cowboys were in the early throes of Romo-mentum at the time. Tony Romo was making just the fourth start of his career on Nov. 19, 2006, so Bill Parcells was not ready to take the wraps off his young quarterback. Romo completed 19 of 23 passes for 226 yards but he did not have a touchdown pass and was intercepted once.

Manning completed 20 of 39 passes for 254 yards with two touchdown passes and two interceptions, one that was returned 39 yards for a touchdown by linebacker Kevin Burnett early in the third quarter. Marion Barber scored two fourth-quarter rushing touchdowns and the defense stopped Manning on the Dallas 8 late in the quarter.

The Cowboys killed the clock with Romo completing two big passes to Anthony Fasano and Terry Glenn.

Manning’s second trip to the area came in 2013 in what may have been the best regular-season game AT&T Stadium has seen.

In his first season with the Denver Broncos, Manning entered the game with 16 touchdown passes and no interceptions and led Denver to a 4-0 start. Morris Claiborne picked off Manning in the third quarter, but this Romo-Manning duel was epic. Romo threw for a career-high 506 yards and completed 25 of 36 passes. He threw five touchdown passes but his one mistake was picked off by Danny Trevathan with 1:57 to play with the score tied. Manning expertly worked the clock to where Matt Prater’s 24-yard field goal won it with no time left on the clock.

Manning finished with 414 yards passing with four touchdowns and one interception in the 51-48 win.

The Cowboys’ only other win against Manning came in 2010 at Lucas Oil Stadium. They picked Manning off four times and Orlando Scandrick and Sean Lee returned their interceptions for touchdowns. Despite Manning being off, the Cowboys needed a David Buehler field goal in overtime to beat the Colts, 38-35.

That win might have cemented Jason Garrett's rise from interim head coach in 2010 to full-time coach in 2011.
