Even if the Colts could announce Manning pre-game, it sounds like the Broncos would decline the offer. This whole thing has seemed to back fire on Irsay, and IMO, he was trying to get into the head of Manning pre-game by doing this. Mannings not retired yet and he needs to focus on this game.






It’s still unclear what the Colts plan to do when Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning returns to town on Sunday night, but one thing is clear — Manning will not be individually introduced before the game.

Per multiple league sources, the NFL no longer allows visiting team to introduce specific players. Instead, the visiting team is now introduced as a group. The Broncos haven’t requested any type of exemption for Sunday night, and we’re told they don’t plan to.

Thus, while at some point there will be an occasion for the crowd to give Manning his much-deserved multi-minute standing ovation, it won’t happen via the P.A. announcer declaring, “. . . and at quarterback, Peyton Manning!”
