Peyton Manning stands on history's doorstep. The NFL is prepared to greet him Sunday when he knocks at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
Manning sits three yards shy of breaking Brett Favre's all-time record of 71,838 passing yards. When he eclipses Favre, the officials have been instructed to halt the game for up to a minute, allowing time for proper recognition of the achievement.
The well-earned pause frees teammates to congratulate Manning on the field while a video tribute airs on the scoreboard. Joe Horrigan, vice president of communications for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, will be on the sideline to accept the football.
"He has been so gracious with his items. He practically has his own wing (in Canton)," Horrigan said.
