Interception No. 4 – vs. Minnesota
Game Situation: Second Quarter | 0:32 on the clock | Broncos 13, Vikings 3
Down and Distance: First and 10 | Minnesota’s 45-yard line
What Happened: The Broncos were driving for additional points before halftime, trying to extend their lead. Emmanuel Sanders was in the left slot, with Andre Caldwell out wide. Anthony Barr was lined up on Sanders. Sanders ran an outside go route, with Caldwell coming underneath him on a down and in. Barr left Sanders, however, and jumped the inside route. Manning never saw the linebacker and threw the ball right to him. It resulted in an interception that set up a Vikings touchdown before halftime.
Manning is trying to hit Caldwell at the 40. Barr is clearly jumping the route; the QB never sees him.

Cause: Mental Error – Manning was going to Caldwell all the way, expecting Barr to stay with Sanders. He misread the defense and threw an easy pick to Barr.
