rest - http://www.denverpost.com/broncos/ci...or-old-manningEveryone remembers the play. Peyton Manning wandered to his right in the second half against the Indianapolis Colts. A 20-yard chasm existed between the Broncos quarterback and the nearest defender in the knockout playoff game. He could have walked for the first down. When he fired an incomplete pass, it provided a central theme to the 2015 season: Manning's advancing age.
If he couldn't make that play then, how will he improve at 39, an age that only five NFL quarterbacks have started a full season?
"Don't you have a synonym, or another word for old?" Manning said.
An anecdote works better, hinting at why the Broncos are less concerned with Manning's date of birth than the national media or hand-wringing fans. It happened at Duke during Manning's passing camp.
