Manning yanked from game as Chiefs roll over Broncos

“If [Manning’s] healthy and ready to go, Peyton is our quarterback”, Kubiak said.

Please pardon my lack of respect for Manning, but that’s insane, stupid talk from Kubiak. And while the back-up put up a few decent numbers against a soft, bend-but-don’t-break defensive scheme the Chiefs were playing, at no time did anyone ever think that Denver was going to complete another gut-punching comeback.

The game was halted after Manning’s milestone throw to Hillman, and Joe Horrigan from the Pro Football Hall of Fame secured the ball. And at 39 years old, injuries simply take more time to heal. Save Manning for the playoffs.

With his first completion, Manning set another milestone, supplanting Brett Favre for most career passing yards.

Manning, who refused to use injuries as an excuse, didn’t practice until Friday but on Saturday showed up in the trainer’s room with a new ailment – sore ribs.

The Chiefs defense stood out Sunday, totaling five touchdowns and five sacks against Broncos quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Brock Osweiler, who relieved Manning midway through the third quarter.

The passing yardage mark was not the only record within reach of Manning on Sunday.

Manning underthrew his first pass of the day, intended for newly acquired tight end Vernon Davis, and it was intercepted by cornerback Marcus Peters, leading to West’s 4-yard touchdown run and helping Kansas City pull out to a 19-0 halftime lead. He isn’t giving the Broncos the best chance to win. “If you look back on it now, I have a hard time saying that’s why I played badly”.

Charcandrick West led the team with two touchdowns, one rushing and one receiving. Chiefs RB Knile Davis, who has slipped recently on the team’s depth chart, was among the players deactivated for the game…. “I feel personally connected”, she said, having shared her story because “I just want people to know what a great man he is”. “I needed to make probably that tough decision there”.

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. Manning had a passer rating of 0.0 when he was taking out in the third quarter.

After very little success on the offensive end with Manning in – the team trailed 22-0 at that point – Osweiler led the Broncos to 13 points in the loss. I had the wrong indication by me and by going out there trying to help the team I ended up hurting the team.

Health comes first. Receiver Emmanuel Sanders limped with an ankle injury the entire game before leaving the game after a brutal hit between two Chiefs’ defenders.

Miller said he wasn’t sure if the defense’s aggressiveness was compromised by a concerted effort to limit personal fouls, which has been a problem all season. You can’t let it snowball.

Hey may not be the Peyton of old, but as long as Manning is healthy, he’s earned the right to be the starter.
