It's a situation that Dungy thanks his lucky stars for having co-MVPs Peyton Manning and Steve McNair playing for his American Football Conference team.

Indianapolis' Manning and Tennessee's McNair will share duties with Kansas City's Trent Green in today's all-star game celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Pro Bowl in Hawai'i.

It is the first time the Associated Press co-MVP quarterbacks will play on the same team in the history of the Pro Bowl.

"I feel very fortunate," said Dungy, who coaches Manning in Indianapolis. "Obviously I see Peyton all the time. We play against Steve twice a year, and they're both phenomenal players. They're great leaders, and to have them on the same team, any coach would want that."

This season, Manning passed for an NFL-best 4,267 yards and AFC-best 29 touchdowns in 16 regular-season games, while McNair threw for 3,215 yards and 24 touchdowns in 14 regular-season games. Green had 4,039 yards and 24 touchdowns in 16 regular-season games.

Dungy said he plans to get all three quarterbacks equal playing time today.

"We're going to try to even it up and probably let Steve play the first quarter, Peyton play the second quarter and Trent Green play the third quarter," Dungy said. "And then we'll use the fourth quarter for maybe a guy who hasn't gotten as much, (or) however the game works out, but we're going to try to even it out."

At practice this week, Manning, a four-time Pro Bowl selection, credited his Indianapolis team for helping him get a share of the MVP award.

"That goes without saying," said Manning, who led the Colts (14-5) to the AFC championship game this season. "You got to have great players around you like (wide receiver) Marvin Harrison and (running back) Edgerrin James, and great protection and great coaching. I am very appreciative of what my team does for me."

Manning also complimented McNair for guiding Tennessee this season. The Titans (13-5) advanced to the divisional playoffs before losing to eventual Super Bowl champion New England.

"He's a great player, a great competitor," Manning said of McNair. "The Titans rely on him heavily. I just can't say enough good things about him."

McNair said he enjoyed sharing the MVP with Manning, a player he admired for having the smarts and ability to "put himself in a position to make the right calls every play."

"I can look back and say, I shared this MVP with a great guy on and off the football field," said McNair, a first-time Pro Bowl selection. "One day he's going to be in the Hall of Fame. So it's an honor just to be mentioned with him."

It's also an honor for teammates to play with Manning and McNair. Many of them, such as Tennessee wide receiver Derrick Mason, are hoping to catch passes from them today.

"Not only do you have two superstars, but you got two MVPs, that's even better," said Mason, a two-time Pro Bowl selection. "You can look back, five, six, seven years from now and say, 'I actually caught two passes from two co-MVPs. Not too many people can say that.

"Just to be out here with these guys — I'm out there every day with Steve (as his teammate) — but just to be out here with Peyton and Trent is just a blessing and a privilege," Mason added.
