Last night, Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning had the highest of highs and lowest of lows all in one night.
Early in the Broncos game against the Kansas City Chiefs, Manning completed a four yard pass to pass Brett Favre on the NFL’s All-Time passing yards list.
After Manning finished the game with five completions out of 20 attempts, four interceptions and one trip to the bench, there might be a reason for quite possibly his worst performance of his career. He’s hurt.

There’s nothing official on Peyton Manning’s future with the Broncos. He was benched but head coach Gary Kubiak is adamant in stating that Manning is his starting quarterback, unless he’s too hurt to play.
Manning’s performance has been less than stellar this season putting up career-low numbers to date including posting a 0 score QBR yesterday against the Chiefs.
With Peyton’s career coming to an end, it might be time to break out Brock Osweiler while Peyton heals and gets ready for the Broncos potential playoff push.
