Manning helps Denver earn top seed with 27-20 win over SD
Perfect, perfect scenario orchestrated by Kubiak this game: Manning comes in shakes the rust off and gets confident. “It was fun. I was sacked up”. Manning, who has been sidelined since November 15 with a torn plantar fascia, has been dealing with another off-field issue after he was named in a report by Al-Jazeera as having obtained HGH through his wife.

Manning will be kitted up again today though after missing six games due to injury. he returned to practice on Wednesday and is preparing for this comeback. Inside linebacker Brandon Marshall is questionable, but he practiced Friday and could play through an ankle injury of his own.
After the Broncos’ offense turned the ball over five times in two and a half quarters Sunday, Peyton Manning replaced Brock Osweiler at quarterback and guided Denver to a 27-20 come-from-behind win over the San Diego Chargers, clinching the No. 1 seed in the upcoming AFC playoffs.
The Steelers’ first round foes will be the Cincinnati Bengals, who beat Baltimore 24-16 to complete the third 12-win season in club history. Stewart was visibly upset, throwing his helmet off in frustration before walking to the bench.
Early on, there were no signs of the quarterback chaos to come.
Coughlin could be coaching his last game with the Giants after 12 seasons and two Super Bowl championships. “I knew he was ready to go”. “I felt like I hadn’t played in several weeks”, Manning joked. “I have strength in it. It’s just something I have to keep an eye on”.
Sunday’s game against the Chargers is, in effect, a playoff game. Only about the game that got away.
“It just wasn’t right”. “As long as this football team is winning games, shoot, I don’t care who’s playing quarterback”.
Todd Davis got the bulk of snaps in Marshall’s place. He spent a season coaching offense for the Baltimore Ravens before returning to the team he spent nine years on as a backup quarterback.
Whether Osweiler had won the game or not, Manning would have been the starter going into the playoffs.
The Broncos’ 12 victories this season tied him with Red Miller (1977) for the most by a Broncos coach in his first year with the team. They will have a bye during next weekend’s divisional round. Throughout his time as a starter, Osweiler has been up front and honest about the fact that this is a learning process for him, and the need for his team to wrap up the top seed by any means necessary trumps any hurt feelings or stunted development.
Danny Trevathan: teeth of D. It would be the last heard from the Chargers in a back-and-forth second half.
Since then, the Broncos have fallen behind two scores – and rallied – twice, and taken two-score leads – and blown them – twice more. Trevathan also suffered a concussion on a hit that cost him two upper back teeth on the right side of his mouth. he swallowed one and spit out the other.
“It’s been a different year certainly, a different week, different approach”, Manning said.
Another sack given to DeMarcus Ware! “It’s fine now. They put some bone in there”. To that point midway through the third quarter, the Broncos were down 13-7 to the Chargers despite outgaining them by 150 yards.
“It lifted the whole stadium”, Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib said of Manning’s insertion into the game.
