The relationship between center and quarterback is one of the most important in football. These two players practice endlessly together and are often best friends. On Sunday, Jeff Saturday who spent twelve of his fourteen seasons with Peyton Manning, snapped the ball to him one last time. Although they were on different teams the NFC center switched sides to snap the ball. Although the resulting run was only for a few yards this play was more deeply felt by everyone watching than all the others. Saturday exchanged some words with Manning then took the ball. It seems only fit that his last snap before retirement was one to his old friend Peyton.
