Chiefs star Jamaal Charles takes responsibility for loss
Manning, second on the NFL’s all-time passing yards list behind Brett Favre (71,838), joined the 70,000-yard club in the fourth quarter.
“To be able to win two games in this fashion, you can always refer back to games like this later on in this season”, said Manning.
Peyton Manning threw for a total of 256 yards, including three touchdowns during Thursday night’s game against the Chiefs. “This is one of the hardest feelings I’ve felt in a long time”.
Denver cornerback Bradley Roby returned Jamaal Charles’ second fumble 21 yards for a touchdown with 27 seconds remaining to complete a stunning comeback and seal a 31-24 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday. Aqib Talib picked off Alex Smith, putting the Broncos in favorable field position. Going up against top National Football League receivers like Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas, the Chiefs number four corner was overmatched for most of the game.
Running back Jamaal Charles has won more than his share of games for the Kansas City Chiefs over the years.
The pressure Ware, Miller, Shaq Barrett, Malik Jackson and Wade Phillips’ designed blitzes are applying up front are directly correlating into the seven turnovers the Broncos have forced through two games, both wins. Peyton Manning’s subpar play has caused a constant chorus of grumbles with the Denver Broncos faithful.
Once again, the Kansas City Chiefs seemed to have the Denver Broncos number.
Ex-Colts quarterback Peyton Manning struggled early, throwing an interception that was returned for a touchdown.
If you’re wondering, Manning still ended the contest with a Passing NEP of -1.08, which is brought down by his costly interception that went for a touchdown. “(When Denver played at a faster tempo), that’s when they looked their best”.
But for this year, it only raised more questions about the Broncos’ offense.
“It just has to be demanded”, Head Coach Gary Kubiak said. Because of a Smith completion to tight end James O’Shaugnessy (2 catches for 54 yards), who took the reception 30 yards to the DEN 17 yard line. But in the meantime Manning is taking the kind of punishment the Broncos shouldn’t have a 39-year-old take. The Denver quarterback had never thrown 100 passes between touchdowns before. Chiefs OT Eric Fisher, the No. 1 overall pick in 2013 who lost his starting job at left tackle, did not start but was active one week after being one of the team’s seven inactives at Houston…. His very next pass should have been intercepted by Jamell Fleming, but he dropped it. Later in the game, Chiefs safety Husain Abdullah also dropped an easy interception.
