Peyton Manning says he will have MRI on Monday
Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning will have an MRI Monday after being hit in the right knee area late in Sunday’s win vs. San Diego, he told the media after the game, according to the Broncos’ official Twitter feed.
“I’m pretty sore. They kind of got me twice in that lower area…get an MRI tomorrow and will know more then,” Manning said, according to the Broncos. Manning was limping after being hit by Chargers defensive end Corey Liuget on a pass play in the final two minutes of regulation. Manning was attended to by the Broncos’ medical staff, but he stayed in the game. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...ve-mri-monday/ |

Looks like Manning finally broke the curse and your "awesome" will defense won't get to face an undrafted rookie free agent starting in his first game or a third string player who has taken no reps all year, but indeed a HOF QB putting up the best numbers of his career. Will he be gimpy? Probably, but he's been gimpy for the past five games and is still on pace to shatter the passing record.
It's interesting to see what has been proposed in this thread. Most of it has been classless stuff like "break his legs for the division" and others have actually suggested real tactics outside of thugish behavior like "blitzing a ton!!! ZOMG!" Reid is too classy of a coach to advocate what many hope in just going for a spear to the knee for the sake of the division. Blitzing Manning basically is asking to lose. He's historically one of the best QB's against the blitz. And this year he's put up amazing numbers against any blitzing. Beating Manning means getting pressure with your front four and sound tackling to eliminate YAC. If you do that and get some hits you can beat him. If you sack Manning, he'll probably fumble the ball and you'll probably get it. We have the worst sack to fumble ratio in the NFL and never recover our own fumbles. I keep waiting for that to change, but it has not. Even on a bad day our offense will put up 28 points. Can you do that? Is there enough dump offs to Charles and third down passes to Avery to net 28? Can your defense and special teams get 21 points for you, so your 1 TD a game average QB can just keep on keepin' on? I don't think so. But that's why they play the games. It will come down to turnovers. If we turn the ball over like we have most of the year, and the Chiefs protect the ball as they have, you guys have a shot. But at I think we'll be ready and we'll destroy for all to see on glorious national TV and your team who has played the worst teams in their worst condition will be exposed as frauds. |

While Sutton's not a LeBeau disciple, it wouldn't surprise me to see a variant of this.

You're a smart guy, Kaylore. Remind us again what the combined win/loss records of the eight teams you've beaten is, and what were the defensive rankings of those said teams?

Yeah whoever sad the Mane is "worried" about the team is lying. There are posters over there that think we should play Brock Osweiller simply because we won't need Manning. Bronco fans have been looking forward to this game all season. They really want to show who're the real kings of the NFL.
If anything, it's Chief fans that are worried and pretty much have written this game off as a loss. |

We haven't had the fortune of guys muffing punts with no pressure or opponents throwing a pick six on the one yard line. You guys have had a horseshoe crammed up your asses all year. I think we're the ones who finally remove it.

But Manning plays very well in prime time and even better on SNF. I'm not sure he's ever lost at home on SNF. And the Broncos usually play the Chiefs well at home. Reid is 13-1 coming off a bye, but 10 of those games were at home. It will be interesting for sure. |

Denver's tears are going to taste delicious. Everyone thinks it's offense that wins the big games...

I think it's somewhat interesting that none of the Broncos fans want to mention the most similar game to this one IMO, which is the Colts loss the Jets in the playoffs.
Obviously there are personnel differences from both sides but to me, that game seems like the closest indicator to what this game will be like.
