“All of our full attention is going to be to getting Peyton back and healthy”, Kubiak said. “That decision has been made”. I know that it’s the best decision for him, for us to get him back and healthy.

Kubiak wouldn’t speculate how long Manning might be out. “I’m disappointed in myself”. But I can promise you that not many people are going to be towing that line this week. Gary Kubiak benched Manning in the third quarter of Sunday’s game against the Chiefs after he threw four interceptions while completing only five passes. He also has a sore right shoulder and a ribcage injury.
“Peyton has been extremely supportive of me”. … So, I think its a combination of things. “Hopefully I can use it my advantage”. Manning will not practice this week but instead will receive treatment and is expected to be re-evaluated next Monday.
With most Denver Broncos’ fans fed up with Peyton Manning’s performances this season, Brock Osweiler provides a few fresh air to an otherwise anemic offense.
I have no idea how injured Manning was or is, which means that I have no idea how severely his play was limited on Sunday. And with that didnt come all the normal preparation but you know he was doing everything he could do to play for his football team. Do I feel more comfortable out there? Yes. I was honest with them with how I felt, thought I was good enough to play.
Manning partially tore his plantar fascia – the connective tissue that supports the arch of your foot – and has suffered from plantar fasciitis for weeks, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Aside from the neck surgeries that cost Manning the entire 2011 season, this will be the first game he’s missed in his career.
A lot of quarterbacks would take a lot of heat for only having 35 yards in a game and then being benched (in the 3rd quarter) with no injury to speak of. Ever since I was probably six, seven years old, I dreamed about playing quarterback in the National Football League and being a starting quarterback in the National Football League. And hey, they’re in a good spot. Final score Sunday against the Chiefs was 29-13. His previous worst was a 31.3 rating in a 2003 playoff game against the Jets, Yahoo Sports added. Sunday, he could be leading the Broncos in Chicago.

It got worse from there, and both the quarterback and coach – clearly not on the same page when it comes to what it will take to get the aching 39-year-old through the season – were shouldering the blame.
