Broncos kicker Brandon McManus played for Temple in Philadelphia, known for massive snowstorms. He never has kicked in conditions like Sunday.
"It was the worst wind that I have had in my career at any level," McManus said. "In warm-ups there was zero wind. Then I come back out five minutes before the game and it's howling 30 mph wind. I had to learn quickly what it was going to do."
McManus said that last Thursday's practice in adverse conditions accelerated his adjustment. McManus set a Broncos record and tied the NFL mark with five field goals.
