Two weeks in the sweltering August heat created concern reserved for the numbing December cold. Questions have long surrounded Peyton Manning, but typically don't surface until the temperature drops.
Manning guided the Broncos' offense to zero touchdowns in 10 preseason drives spanning 62 plays. Based on the handwringing, you'd think he was filming a Direct TV "Don't be like this Peyton Manning" spot. The thing about those commercials — 'High Voice' Manning will soon be complemented by an ad about legs — is that he almost always gets the last laugh.
If Manning's preseason did not inspire confidence, his season-openers should provide solace.
