Peyton Manning will take his second Super Bowl trophy and ride off into the sunset.

ESPN's Chris Mortensen is reporting that Manning will announce his retirement during a press conference tomorrow, ending an illustrious 18-year career.

Manning engineered the Broncos to a victory in Super Bowl 50 after the worst regular season of his career. The improbable run came after Manning was forced to miss six games with lingering foot and rib injuries. Manning also led the Indianapolis Colts to a victory over the Bears in Super Bowl XLI.

He'll end his career with multiple NFL records, including wins as a starter (200), passing yards (71,940), touchdown passes (539) and NFL MVP awards (five). He's one of two players to defeat all 32 NFL teams in his career, joining Brett Favre on that list.

The future Hall of Famer went 1-2 in his career against the Bears in the regular season, throwing for 770 yards, seven touchdowns and two interceptions in three games. In Super Bowl XLI he was 25-for-38 for 247 yards, a touchdown and an interception. He was named MVP after earning his first Super Bowl in what was his seventh postseason appearance.
