Tip to Brian, a Browns site breaks down the pick six in the Super Bowl, concluding (like many others), that it was on Wayne.
Wayne may have thought he was supposed to run a “hitch” or a “stop” route where he simply stops and turns around and the ball is there, whereas Manning thought he was supposed to go across the field more as diagrammed above.
Note how at this point if Peyton throws the ball to the point where Collie is now (or a little past where Collie is now), it looks like Wayne should easily make the catch for a first down. Unfortunately for the Colts, it doesn’t go down that way. Porter jumps the route, and makes a better break on the ball than Wayne does. Here is a diagram of what I think the called play looked like:
Wayne either slips or runs the wrong route or (in a less likely scenario) Peyton got the route wrong and threw it anyway. My money is on Wayne being at fault, that he simply ran a poor route. Instead of getting inside position on Porter (which should have been automatic for a guy as good as Wayne), Porter is able to jump the route and pick the ball off.
