Peyton Manning proves that even cold weather can't stop him, Denver Broncos | Audibles - SI.com
Excerpt:
"In a game that saw a high temperature of 18 degrees, Manning played about as well as any quarterback could under any circumstances. In Denver’s 51-28 win, he completed 39-of-59 passes for 397 yards and four touchdowns. All of those touchdowns came in the red zone, where he was 10-of-18 for 61 yards. He hit nine different receivers, and each of his touchdowns was caught by a different target. And he did so against a defense with two of the best statistical cornerbacks in the NFL (Alterraun Verner and Jason McCourty), and a front seven with a knack for taking quarterbacks down. According to Pro Football Focus’ game charting, those two great corners allowed 13 catches for 193 yards and two touchdowns — Verner hadn’t allowed a touchdown all season before this game. Manning wasn’t sacked … in fact, he was barely pressured."
