You might be right, but at the time it appeared that Peyton was going against Dungy.
the TV announcers certainly made it out that way at the time. they really did go on and on about dungy being "overruled", which, if it happened, I guess they should go on and on about it.
some sportswriters never caught up with the story. days later, some of them were still talking about it as though manning undercut his coach.
