Stud No. 2 – Brandon McManus
Don’t mind Brandon McManus. He’s just going to take the keys to the bus and get it warmed up. Oh, and he’ll go ahead and kick a 50-plus yard field goal on his way there.
After a rocky first year in the league, McManus is proving the Broncos personnel department to be geniuses for keeping him on the roster over Connor Barth.
McManus is 12-for-12 on the year, including three more on Sunday, and is four-for-four on attempts longer than 50 yards.
In a game that ultimately came down to kicking, McManus was perfect and future Hall of Famer Sebastian Janikowski missed twice (one blocked, one miss).
McManus is just one of six kickers in the NFL still perfect on both field goals and PATs. Without him, the Broncos don’t win Sunday and they likely aren’t undefeated.
