Peyton Manning was solid once again
I’m not going got lie, I was a little afraid that Peyton Manning might turn back into a pumpkin, but that wasn’t the case. Even with the two interceptions, The Sheriff was slinging it again on Sunday.
Manning finished with 281 yards and two touchdowns on 58 percent passing, but it could have been a whole lot more if his receivers held onto the ball. Manning went deep on several occasions in the first half, but they just missed. On one throw, Vernon Davis could have made a catch, but his hand was clearly being held back by the Colts defender. On a couple others, Emmanuel Sanders had the ball slip through his hands on diving attempts.
In the second half, Manning was nearly perfect. And while the deep passes to Owen Daniels and Sanders were nice, what really impressed me was his pocket movement. The Colts were getting the best of the Broncos linemen all day, but but thanks to some nifty footwork, Manning only took one sack.
If this is the Manning we continue to see for the rest of the season, then the Broncos should have nothing to worry about.
