As football analyst Chris Brown wrote back in 2013, the Broncos found success with Peyton Manning only after adopting his offense from the Colts.

Money quotes: "When asked how similar Manning’s current offense is to what he ran in Indianapolis, New England coach Bill Belichick was typically candid. “It’s identical. It looks the same to me.”

"[T]he play Denver runs more than any other is [k]nown as “Dig” in the old Colts playbook ... it’s difficult to overstate how often Manning ran this with the Colts and how often he still runs it with the Broncos. Ten times a game in various forms and from different formations is not uncommon".
