Peyton Manning MVP, it happens

NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.

Peyton Manning win NFL MVP

Yawn, Peyton Manning won the MVP.

The sun shined in Michigan today. Wow! Now that is news.

But Peyton wins MVP? Were you even talking Colts this year? No, they went on a run at the end of the season and now they look really good, but were you even talking about Peyton?

NFL Peyton Manning factoid – In 11 seasons of NFL football, Peyton Manning has thrown for over 3,700 yards every single year. Unreal.

Drew Brees threw for 5,069 yards, second only to Dan Marino on the all time list, but his team faltered. Jay Cutler had a monster season for Denver, but they had no defense.

Michael Turner, DeAngelo Williams, Adrian Peterson, Clinton Portis all had great years, but not great great years.

So what do you do? Well, we could just give the MVP to Peyton Manning. They did have that incredible run.

This has been a most unusual season for the Colts, who normally have the AFC South just about clinched by Thanksgiving. Manning had two operations on his left knee in the preseason, cutting into practice time, blunting his usual precision as a passer and, eventually, leading to a 3-4 start.

Peyton Manning recovered from his early struggles to lead the Colts to nine straight victories and a wild-card berth.

From there, with Manning getting sharper by the week, the Colts won nine straight games to secure a wild-card berth and a meeting Saturday night with San Diego.

In that streak, Manning is 209-of-290 for 2,248 yards and 17 touchdowns, with only three interceptions. He extended his NFL record with his ninth 4,000-yard season and finished with 27 touchdown passes, 12 interceptions and a 95.0 passer rating.
