Denver Broncos, Peyton Manning | featured news

Peyton Manning leads the Denver Broncos into an AFC divisional playoff game against the Baltimore Ravens Saturday afternoon in the chilly confines of Sports Authority Field at Mile High stadium.

Peyton Manning had no trouble clearing those two interceptions out of his head and leading a fourth-quarter comeback....

Now that they're teammates, Peyton Manning can celebrate when Tracy Porter returns an interception for a touchdown....

The Jets traded for the popular but polarizing quarterback Tim Tebow, who became expendable when Denver signed Peyton Manning as a free agent.

There was no glitch. No last-minute curveball. No monkey wrench in the gears. The Broncos and quarterback Peyton Manning have agreed to terms on a five-year, $96 million contract, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Peyton Manning, a free agent quarterback, has chosen to play for Denver next season, and the two sides are negotiating a contract, a person briefed on the decision said.

Before the Broncos solidify their final contract proposal to Peyton Manning, they wanted to see the free-agent quarterback throw and medically check him out. A large Broncos contingent that includes front office boss John Elway, coach John Fox and trainer Steve Antonopulos landed in Durham, N.C. at 11:07 a.m., where they watched Manning throw and work out today.

On another glorious weekend in Colorado, the sun shone, the air warmed and the mountains majestically revealed their beauty. Oh, and Tim Tebow remains the Broncos' quarterback.

Even Peyton Manning's inconsistency couldn't derail history for the Indianapolis Colts. Or preserve the NFL records of New England and San Francisco. Manning was sensational, throwing three TD passes in the first 23 minutes, then mediocre, getting picked off three times in the Colts' 28-16 victory over Denver for their 22nd consecutive regular-season win.
