Peyton Manning: The Legend Of All Legends Throws For 500th

#LegendOfAllLegends 








Can't really say that I'm surprised at Quarterback Peyton Manning's recent, record breaking performance on sunday against the previous undefeated Arizona Cardinals.  Manning's numbers (31-47, 479 yards, & 4 TD's) were absolutely outstanding, but his performance was just iCandy.   His 479 yards was a career high, as he cruised past his 500th touchdown to reach 503, and placed him 2nd all time behind Brett Farve. 

"I do think about how many people have helped throughout my career with something like that and just how grateful I am for that help and support," Manning said. "Football is the ultimate team game, and so I guess one man kind of has to accept it, but I kind of accept on behalf of a lot of coaches and teammates."

This team first attitude was displayed in Manning's teammates as they too also broke records.  Wide Receiver Damarius Thomas broke Shannon Sharps single game receiving record, racking up 226 yards and 2 touchdowns on just 8 receptions.  Wes Welker, who earlier this year was in danger of not even playing this season, racked up his 850th catch.  Breaking Rod Smith's record for an un-drafted player.  Broncos once again look to be heading to another Super Bowl appearance if they continue to play like they did Sunday.
