Sick as a Dog
The internet had the gaul to make fun of Peyton’s block at the end of the first half. Manning, playing with the flu, stepped in and threw an unexpected block (successfully) when his running back changed course.
Oh, just the flu, you know, that forced puking Peyton to take four bags of intravenous fluids between Saturday night and game time. He still had the balls to make a split second block read, and that’s all you got for me, world? Shame, shame on you, uncleverasauruses.
For real though. Fucking fags don’t deserve to ever discuss the great game of football. Manning was forced to leave after that play, missed the end of the first half and looking like that’d be all.
THEN, just before the second half started with the coaches preparing without him, Manning gallantly rode out of the tunnel, finishing off the Chargers and winning the AFC West in the progress.
John Fox said they “were unsure at halftime, to be honest with you,” if Manning would come back.
“Until Peyton made the cavalry entrance [out of the tunnel] at the start of the third quarter, we were prepared otherwise,” Fox said. “But I think it’s a tribute to the kind of toughness Peyton has and the kind of competitor he is that he got up and did a tremendous job in those conditions.”
