This isn’t your father’s Peyton Manning. On Sunday against the New England Patriots, we saw a different quarterback than we’d seen for most of this season.
The 39-year-old quarterback had a tumultuous regular season in what could be his final year with the Denver Broncos—and in the NFL.
Manning only played in 10 games, threw 12 more interceptions than touchdowns, was benched for poor performance and injury, came back as a backup for the first time since he was a freshman at Tennessee and then came back in Week 17 off the bench to propel the Broncos into the postseason.
