KANSAS CITY — Peyton Manning walks out of the tunnel Thursday night attempting to do something not even Craig Morton accomplished.
No quarterback has beaten the Kansas City Chiefs nine consecutive times. Manning owns eight straight wins, a record he shares with Morton. Manning won his last two with the Colts and hasn’t lost to the Chiefs as a member of the Broncos. Manning’s streak spanned from 1970-79, spanning his tenure with the Cowboys and Broncos.
Manning, facing scrutiny not seen since he came back from neck surgery in 2012, needs 134 passing yards to join Brett Favre in the 70,000-yard club.
