Peyton Manning Breaks NFL All-Time Passing Yards Record

Peyton Manning stands on history’s doorstep. He started toward Peyton Manning in the first quarter to shake his hand, but he stopped short.

He passes Green Bay Packers legend Brett Favre’s record of 71,838 passing yards, which was set when he retired with the Vikings in 2010.

Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning’s record-breaking day ended in ignominy on Sunday watching from the sidelines as his side were beaten 29-13 by the Kansas City Chiefs.

While his day was off to a rocky start from the get-go, the 39-year-old could not find his stride even in the second half.

In eight games this season, Sanders has 46 receptions for 639 yards and four touchdowns. The Broncos’ stagnant rushing game, which is ranked 28th in the league, failed to get untracked versus Indianapolis and mustered just 61 yards on 22 carries in the first meeting with the Chiefs.

Roby’s scoop-and-score of Jamaal Charles’ fumble with 27 seconds left capped a two-TD spurt in the final minute and gave the Broncos a stunning 31-24 win.

Asked if he pulled Manning because of injuries or ineffectiveness, Broncos coach Gary Kubiak said, “To be honest with you, I was protecting him because I was anxious about him”.

“Yeah, it’s definitely going to test our depth but I think that our depth has been tested before”.

If a week off will help Manning recover from the plantar fasciitis, the Kubiak should consider it. Or else all the Broncos will have to celebrate is another dominant regular season. They’ve also been flagged more than a few times when they didn’t feel they crossed the line.

Manning is 4 of 15 for 30 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions.

Alex Smith capped the onslaught with an 80-yard TD throw to Charcandrick West. Their focus right now should be keeping Peyton Manning pretty healthy, while the Kansas City Chiefs still possibly feel like there’s a shot at the postseason National Football League playoffs given the relative weakness of clubs beyond the division leaders in the conference. In past games he’d thrown a ton of picks, he’d moved the ball well, at least 285 yards in each game. The Chiefs are under-utilizing their other best weapon in Travis Kelce, who just isn’t get the appropriate number of targets for someone who is as big and impressive after the catch as he is. No”, Johnson said. “He’s still a great quarterback – just not what he used to be.

Cornerbacks Sean Smith and Marcus Peters will be tasked with defending Manning’s favorite targets in WRs Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders, who have combined for 5 touchdowns receiving this season.

He’s ready to put game one behind him.
