Let's be realistic - there is one scenario and only one scenario that makes logical sense.
It's 4th and goal with the Colts down by 5 points with 4 seconds remaining. Manning is at the line, with sweat pouring down his forehead, feeling more pressure than any man ever has in the history of the world.
He calls time out, runs to the sideline, and places a call to a top secret cloning lab that has grown clones of Joe Montana, Jim Brown, Gayle Sayers, Walter Peyton, Vince Lombardi and more.
Bill Polian, after a quick chat with the NFL rules committee, is quickly able to arrange a rule change that allows the game to be delayed just long enough for the clones to fly in, be reinstated by the NFL, and the clones and coaches to assume their positions on the field.
As Manning trots on the field with the all time team of teams, Coach Lombardi calls one final timeout, sending in his Tom Brady clone to take over the playcalling duties.
The game resumes and 4 seconds later, the Colts have at last vanquished their mortal enemies, the New England Patriots.
