PEYTON MANNING, QUARTERBACK, DENVER BRONCOS
There have been few games better than Peyton Manning‘s Thursday night (The New York Giants’ Y.A. Tittle passed for 505 yards and 7 touchdowns on 10/28/62 – long before fantasy football). The older Manning went 27 for 42 (64.3%) for 462 yards and 7 touchdowns. He had no passes intercepted. Peyton didn’t have his big night against some NFL weak sister either. He beat up on the defending Super Bowl Champions, the Baltimore Ravens. This will most likely be the best stat line of the season – for anyone.
