With a Super Bowl victory with both Indianapolis and Denver, Peyton Manning will forever be remembered as both a Colt and Bronco (or maybe just as a horse in general), but what happens when the two teams play each other? Who will he root for?
Well, according to NFL.com’s Conor Orr, the question may be even more complicated than that, because Manning seems to be rooting for nearly a quarter of the league.
At the Manning passing academy, Peyton said he'd be rooting for Broncos, Colts, Giants, Texans, Dolphins and Lions this season. Just an FYI.

The Broncos and Colts are obvious. The Giants are for Eli, and the Dolphins and Lions have to do with Peyton’s former coordinators, Adam Gase and Jim Caldwell.
But what about the Texans? What’s the relationship there?
According to Orr, Manning’s draw to Houston has everything to do with his understudy, Brock Osweiler.
Peyton Manning has always been a great politician, and there’s nothing more political than saying you’ll be rooting for 20 percent of the NFL.
