Here’s a more puzzling figure, though: 13. That’s how many times the Denver Broncos’ typically accurate passer has been picked off this season. Manning threw a season-high three TDs while Roby returned Jamaal Charles’ fumble 21 yards for the go-ahead TD with 27 seconds remaining.

The suspension of Aqib Talib weakens the Denver Broncos’ secondary heading into Sunday’s game with the Kansas City Chiefs. Besides, Manning looms as a candidate for regular rest days down the stretch as Denver aims to conserve his body for January’s playoff push. They have revenge, necessity, extra time to prepare and a recent blowout win to aid their mental approach Sunday. “It looks like the interceptions haven’t interfered with their game”.
Gary Kubiak, Broncos’ head coach remains on Talib’s side and understands that it was just an accident.
And there’s always this: He’s a 39-year-old who’s had neck fusion surgery. Look how Manning throws off-balance off of his back foot and fits the ball into an extremely tight window where Owen Daniels makes a phenomenal play on the football. “That’s just how he is”.
Rodgers then hit tight end Richard Rodgers from three yards for a further touchdown to help take the score to 37-29 with 3:43 left.
Despite their error-filled loss to the Colts on Sunday, the Broncos still have the NFL’s top defense in yards allowed (averaging 274.1 per game). It was unintentional. Theyve got the right to discipline me as they did.. “I talked to him via text kind of bus-to-bus when we were coming from the airport back home (Sunday night)”.
Manning insists the records aren’t on his mind.
Manning, who practiced last week and started Sunday in Indianapolis, finished the loss against the Colts 21-of-36 passing for 281 yards along with two touchdowns and two interceptions.
“If there’s true racial injustice or sexual injustice or anything along the lines that people feel they should step up for, I mean, this is the time”, Ray said.
And Daniels wouldn’t mind being the one helping him break it, either. Kelce broke out of a bit of a first-half of the season funk against Detroit, as he finally reached the end zone for his third scoring catch of the season. “That would be pretty special”, said Daniels, who’s hauled in 23 passes from No. 18. I guess thats what type of guy he is..
In other games, a last-gasp 38-35 win for the Pittsburgh Steelers over the Oakland Raiders was overshadowed by a fresh injury to veteran quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Now 3-5, the Chiefs can only afford to lose one, maybe two games at the very most, if they wish to secure a wild card spot.
Kubiak doesn’t see it as an issue, either.
“I think that it worked both halves”, Houston said of the Chiefs’ defense in Week 2.

So the case of Peyton Manning’s foot seems to be an interesting one. Broncos defensive end, Malik Jackson understands the importance of the game for him but admitted Wednesday that the Chiefs are already in a dire situation.
