Peyton Manning becomes NFL’s all-time leading passer

Passer rating of 0.0.

DENVER (AP) – The fans were nearly all gone, and more than an hour after he’d taken his last snap, Peyton Manning stood on the sideline leafing through the pictures of all those plays gone wrong.

With just over six minutes left in the third quarter Sunday, the Denver Broncos sat quarterback Peyton Manning and put Brock Osweiler into the lineup.

Steelers 30, Browns 9: In Pittsburgh, Ben Roethlisberger began the game on the bench to rest his sprained left foot but entered in the first quarter after Landry Jones went down with a left ankle injury and threw for 379 yards and three touchdowns. “Saturday, as you all know, his ribs were bothering him a little bit and I probably should have said right there, ‘No, he’s not going to go this week'”.

Should Manning owners go out and pick up Osweiler?

“We needed a few speed, we felt, on the outside there”, Reid said of Hakim. After the game, Kubiak said that perhaps he shouldn’t have played Manning after the QB missed the entire week of practice, which might qualify as one of the bigger “No duh!” statements ever by a coach. Alex Smith connected on an 80-yard touchdown pass with Charcandrick West.

The record of 71,838 yards, that was held by Brett Favre since his retirement in 2010, was passed with Manning’s second attempt of the game. Kansas City was tremendous throughout the afternoon, notching five sacks and the same amount of interceptions. “Whether it was because of my injuries or poor decision-making, I tend to lean on the poor decision-making and a few bad throws”. “I was anxious about him”.

Listed as probable for Sunday’s game with foot and rib-cage injuries, Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning technically was virtual certain to be available for normal duty.

Manning has nine TD passes and an NFL-high 17 interceptions this season. Still, it was a mildly promising show for a quarterback the city has been yearning to see. “Today, we had our way”.

Entering Sunday’s showdown at Sports Authority Field, he possessed 14-1 all-time record against Kansas City, and had guided the Broncos to seven consecutive victories spanning the last four seasons.

“We weren’t thinking about it”, Johnson said of the shutout. “We were thinking more about the win”. They want to compete. Even if Manning regains the starting job for the Broncos, fantasy owners can not start him with confidence.

While the Denver Broncos have stayed away from talk of benching Peyton Manning for the long-term, the team’s set-up could accommodate for his loss.

This time, it wasn’t even close.

Manning’s milestone quickly faded into everyone’s memory upon watching the 39-year-old gunslinger flail and flounder like a salmon swimming upstream against an aggressive Chiefs defense. He might not have been very athletic, but he was just mobile enough with a quick release to often avoid pressure.

A five-yard pass from Eli Manning to Odell Beckham Jr on New York’s final drive was originally called a touchdown but then overturned on review as incomplete, and NY had to settle for a field goal which would ultimately cost them the game.

All thanks to their defense.
