The "what's wrong with Peyton Manning" question has been brought up a lot of ways over the final month of the regular season. Manning had a right thigh injury down the stretch, which he suffered December 14th in San Diego, and over the final five games of the regular season, he had one 300-yard passing game, two games with fewer than 200 yards passing, five touchdowns and six interceptions for the Broncos. There is definitely something wrong with Peyton Manning. Manning's health and recent play are again on the front burner. And the topic was something Broncos coach John Fox had little time or patience for, and still played him. Also, Peyton's recent numbers arent also up to his usual level of performance which did hurt the the Broncos.
The Broncos finished the season second in the league in scoring at 30.1 points per game, and Manning was second in the league for touchdown passes (39), fourth in passing yards (4,727) and fourth in passer rating (101.5). He did not throw a touchdown pass in two of the team's December games, however the wins over Buffalo and Oakland made up for that and also for the four-interception game over the loss to Cincinatti.
