But he’s stayed firm this week about not dropping hints, or doing anything other than staying in the moment.

After defeating the New England Patriots in the AFC Title Game, it appears Peyton Manning is meant to win a ring during his last hurrah in the NFL.
“[Manning] has been great”. “Use the things that you have to get to where you need to be and the sky is the limit”.
“I told Peyton right after the game everyone here is so excited, and it’s so deserving because I don’t think anyone is more respected by everyone in the game, meaning you guys in the media to the players on the field he’s playing against”, Irsay said.
“His work has been excellent”.
“Obviously he’s very bright and at this point for us in this season he’s as healthy as he has been all year long from even when we started this season. There’s a laundry list and I’m going to dive into those in the offseason and see what went well and what didn’t go well and learn from those”. “That’s what we all need to be”.
“You can never have total control of that”, Manning said of coaching changes in general and the first of his career in the past month. The Broncos will enter this game as the underdog and many have counted out Manning as someone who can lead his team to another Super Bowl win. “He and I don’t have a competition that way”, Peyton said on Tuesday. The only thing to do now is watch the Super Bowl and possibly witness a future Hall-of-Famer play his last NFL football game. He has gotten his part, a big-time weapon, something different for us to prepare for than what we’ve been preparing for, but I think the bottom line is they’ve been the best football team, the most consistent football team in football this year.
This is a team that lost key players such as DeAngelo Williams via free agency to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Kelvin Benjamin suffered a season-ending knee injury during training camp, and former Jets’ receiver Stephen Hill who was a member of the Panthers was also lost for the entire season due to injuries.
Eli and the Giants haven’t even been to the playoffs since the 2011 season and they are 12-20 the past two years, prompting the end of Tom Coughlin’s coaching tenure.
“What’s great is when you get 53 different people from different backgrounds and different personalities and they all come together like one good casserole and you win a Super Bowl”, said Irving.

Anderson was 10-5 as a starter for Cleveland in 2007 and went to the Pro Bowl that year, but he lasted only two more seasons with the Browns. But I think I give Denver the slight edge, although I’m not really sure if I have a rooting interest.
