Lose to Virgil Green in Madden? Blame Peyton Manning.
The Broncos tight end said playing against Manning has helped him diagnose defenses in the video game. Virtual reality intersects with playoff urgency Sunday when the Broncos host the Pittsburgh Steelers in the divisional round.
At 39, Manning receives criticism for his advancing age, ailing foot and lack of arm strength. What remains beyond reproach is Manning's mental excellence. When it comes to decoding an opponent at the line of scrimmage, Manning exists in a class of his own.
"Honestly a lot of my schemes in Madden come from what I have learned from what Peyton has done to defenses," Green said Wednesday. "You learn to understand the way Peyton thinks. He knows how to attack weaknesses and patterns. When you play with Peyton it enhances your football IQ to a whole other level."
