We will all remember where we were when Peyton Manning crafted the most outrageous comeback anyone has ever seen.

He was brought here to do just this. John Elway, about whom most pages in team annals were written, knew that Peyton Manning would pick the story up. Selflessly, and without regard for his own perch atop the pantheon of Colorado Sports, Elway made room for yet another legend to grow in the Mile High City.
Chapter Eighteen won’t be long. Peyton Manning simply doesn’t have enough seasons left as a player in the NFL to add much thickness to the text. As long as he does remain a Denver Bronco, however, words will continually fail to describe his heroics.

Peyton Manning did not defeat the Chargers on his own. Big plays on defense and on special teams contributed to the Monday Night story. Manning authored the win, though. And it’s only the beginning.
