Peyton Manning didn’t play for the Broncos last night, but he did help them win.

Broncos quarterback Brock Osweiler told Sal Paolantonio of ESPN that the Broncos made halftime adjustments based on Manning’s observations of the first half. Manning was watching from inside and went into the locker room to tell Osweiler what he saw.

“Peyton was fantastic at halftime. He came up to me and — you know Peyton — of course, he had a list of things ready to talk about that he saw out there. I’m not going to go into specifics, but he certainly did help me, and he helped this football team get a win today,” Osweiler said.

So lets go ahead and kill all the speculation on these boards about Peyton being sour. We heard it from BOSSweiler(he hasnt quite earned that name but hes on his way)

himself. Peyton was instrumental in the win. Period.

Doesnt surprise me, Peyton is class. Very, very competitive, but class.

Manning is going to make a fine OC one day, or the University of Tennessee HC.....I hope not.

I with ya, Warhorse. This does quiet any doubt that Manning is sour with the situation.

Now I know why the offense played much better in the 2nd half, than the 1st.

DENVER -- After greeting longtime rivals and acquaintances like Bill Belichick and Tom Brady and watching his teammates warm up Sunday, Peyton Manning returned to the locker room to watch the Broncos' 30-24 overtime win over the Patriots on Sunday night.

The decision to have him in the locker room wasn't about staying out of the public eye. Rather, it was about continuing to give his foot as much rest as possible while he wears the walking cast that is expected to be removed at some point later this week.

"We talked about it. He could have been on the field. That didn't make much sense to stand out there for three-and-a-half hours," Head Coach Gary Kubiak said Monday.

"He could have gone to the booth, so he's got to go up and down with the cast on him. We settled on basically [saying], 'We have a nice, comfortable, warm spot for you here in the locker room.' That's how it came about."

Manning was able to study the game from that vantage, and offered Brock Osweiler advice after watching the first half.

"Peyton just had some great ideas about what he saw watching what was going on," Kubiak said. "He had our game plan with him. He started pointing out some things to me about some of the things that he felt good about, and he was echoing that to Brock.

"He and Brock sat there at halftime [going] through our list of what we're coming out with, that type of thing. [He was] just a positive reinforcement as we're playing. We knew we were in a tough ball game and needed to play well in the second half. Having him there was a boost, I think, for everybody."

I think it's really cool he stayed in the locker room but it sure is hard to imagine that really being the reason. Not being a distraction makes a lot more sense. Hard to imagine going up there on crutches being an even minuscule risk.

Notoriously selfish?

Quit bashing his play and calling for him to step down.
