Manning Passes to Elementary Students
Apr 23rd
After working out with his teammates as part of phase one of the Broncos’ voluntary offseason conditioning program, quarterback Peyton Manning loosened up his arm with a few passes in the afternoon.
However, it wasn’t Demaryius Thomas, Wes Welker, Emmanuel Sanders or Andre Caldwell catching passes from the future Hall-of-Fame quarterback.
It was students at Hallett Elementary School in Denver that had the opportunity to have Manning as their all-time quarterback in gym class on Tuesday.
Manning surprised the students with a visit to promote healthy and active lifestyles. Manning was part of the Playworks organization’s initiative to get kids up and moving around during the day.
Playworks Colorado, which began in 2010, currently serves 5,500 students in 18 low-income schools in Denver, Aurora and Northglenn.
The students were split into four groups that rotated through various activity stations. Manning quarterbacked the gym station where one student would line up on defense and one at wide receiver. Manning would huddle with each route-runner and then throw a pass to the student with another student defending.

No. 1 Broncos earn home field advantage in the playoff
Dec 31st
Knowshon Moreno finished off a 69-yard drive by running the ball in for the 7-0 lead. Ryan Succup hit a 22-yard field goal for KC and the Broncos answered with back-to-back touchdowns from Peyton Manning to Eric Decker.
In the second half, Manning connected with Demaryius Thomas in the back of the end zone for a miraculous touchdown catch, Lance Ball rushed one over the goal line and Matt Prater tacked on a field goal to blowout Kansas City 38-3 and win their 11th straight game.
Denver finished the season 13-3 and the No. 1 seed in the AFC, meaning the road to the Super Bowl goes through the Mile High City.
You could argue that the Chiefs, who have won only two games, weren’t trying too hard; they lost the game but won the right first pick in the draft due to their terrible season. No point in ruining that.
