PEYTON MANNING Wins FedEx Air Award
Manning Wins FedEx Air Award
Peyton Manning was named the Week 3 FedEx Air Award winner.
Manning was named FedEx Air Player of the Week after completing 32 of 37 passes for 374 yards and three touchdowns against the Raiders – becoming the first player in NFL history to throw for 12 touchdowns in the first three games of a season in the process.
The quarterback also earned AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors for an NFL-record 25th time earlier this week, and he was named both FedEx Air Player of the Week and AFC Offensive Player of the Week after his seven-touchdown performance against the Ravens on Sept. 5 in the season opener.
“To think about what he’s been able to do week-in and week-out – we just shake our heads,” tight end
Manning completed 86.5 percent of his passes in the game and finished with a quarterback rating of 135.8 – etching his place into the NFL annals with both achievements.
Manning became just the sixth player in NFL history to throw for 350 yards and complete more than 85 percent of his passes in a single game. And his aerial showcasing also marked the 15th consecutive regular season game that Manning has finished with a QB rating higher than 90.0 – extending his own league record.
Manning has posted a quarterback rating of over 100.0 in all three games this season, helping guide a Broncos offense that is averaging a league-high 42.3 points per game.
“Guys are making good plays in the passing game and we are doing a good job getting yards after the catch,” Manning said. “That makes a big difference.”
Manning leads the NFL in passing yardage (1,143 yards), completions (89), completion percentage (73.0 percent), touchdowns (12) and quarterback rating (134.7) after three games. He is also one of only two quarterbacks with over 100 passing attempts who have not thrown an interception this season.
“He’s obviously a great player and doing a great job,” wide receiver
“You can’t (put it into words),” wide receiver

REPLAYNFLN: Peyton Manning Highlights00:00/00:01
DENVER -- Another game, another handful of records broken by quarterback Peyton Manning.
"You sit back and you watch it and you're in awe," cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie said.
Manning, who had already set a new record for touchdown passes thrown through three games to start a season, now owns that record through four games.
His second touchdown pass Sunday afternoon tied two players for the record, last achieved by Kurt Warner in 1999.
On his next drive, he set a new record with 15 through four games. And on his next drive, for good measure, he made the record 16 with his fourth touchdown pass of the game.
"He makes it look easy, but it's definitely damn hard," defensive tackle Kevin Vickerson said.
Manning completed 28 of his 34 passes Sunday, throwing for 327 yards and four touchdowns. The resulting 146.0 quarterback rating marked a career high for Manning with a minimum of 30 attempts. It's his highest rating in any game since the 2008 season.
Last week, former teammate Jeff Saturday said on ESPN's NFL Live that he thinks Manning is playing the best football of his career.
To that point, the quarterback's current streak of 201 consecutive passes without an interception is the longest such streak of his career, and the second-longest in Broncos history. That run combined with his 16 touchdowns ties him for the most touchdowns to start a season without a pick with quarterback Milt Plum, who accomplished it in 1960.

REPLAYManning on Making History, 4-0 Start00:00/00:01
“Ya’ll were at the game, too," wide receiver Wes Welker said when asked about Manning's performance. "I mean, 11 incompletions in two games – that kind of says it. He’s an exceptional player and prepares like nobody and else and he’s kind of the catalyst of getting everything going."
Manning, who also passed quarterback Brett Favre for the most four-touchdown games in NFL history -- he now has 24 -- wasn't interested in all the talk of the records he's setting. He was more concerned with the fact that the team is 4-0 in advance of a road matchup with the Dallas Cowboys in Week 5.
“The recaps don’t mean a whole lot," he said. "It was a good win because it was this game and we’ll learn from it and we have a tough test next week."
That's the attitude the rest of the locker room is taking as well. It doesn't get any better than 4-0 after four games. But even with all the records being set, the players and coaches understand that the regular season is only a quarter of the way finished.
"We're on a mission," defensive end Derek Wolfe said. "We're going to try to get to the big game. But it's week-by-week, day-by-day, practice-by-practice, snap-by-snap."
And with Manning at the helm of the offense, the team knows it has a chance to accomplish its goals.
"How that guy prepares throughout the week and how he has the offensive units preparing with him the same way, it's only going to get better," Vickerson said. "I don't see it dropping off."

Is it too early to give Peyton Manning the 2013 NFL MVP?
By: Frank Schwab 15 hours ago Shutdown Corner
DENVER – No quarterback has ever started a season as well as Peyton Manning has in 2013.
At this point it's pretty hard to imagine Manning not winning the MVP award at the end of the season, as long as he stays healthy. The Broncos quarterback is playing at a level that may be unsurpassed in NFL history, much less by any 37-year-old who has played the game.
[Watch: Fantasy stocks on the decline for Week 4]
Manning picked apart the Raiders on Monday night in a 37-21 win. He was 32-of-37 for 374 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. He now owns the NFL record for most touchdowns through three games to start the season, with 12. He has yet to throw an interception. He came in with an unfathomable 131.0 rating for the season, then had a 152.1 rating in the first half against Oakland. He has 1,143 yards already this season. Manning is on pace to throw for 6,096 yards and 64 touchdowns. Again, he's 37 years old.
No game in the NFL is easy. This isn't college, where Alabama is favored by six touchdowns against some hapless foe and usually wins by that much. But the Broncos and Manning sure made this win look easy. They're the clear favorites in the AFC and didn't do anything to change that perception on Monday night.
Manning has a command of this offense and the game that is impressive to watch. Having a great set of receivers to throw to helps. He used them all on Monday night. There were touchdowns to Eric Decker, Wes Welker and Julius Thomas. Manning always found the open receiver. And when he had to squeeze in a pass, like he did on a 22-yard pass to Demaryius Thomas into an extremely tight window close to the sideline, Manning did just that.
[Watch: Top 5 must-see NFL plays from Sunday]
The only frightening moment happened late in the third quarter. Left tackle Chris Clark, starting for the first time at left tackle in the NFL due to Ryan Clady's injury, was beat clean around the edge by Raiders end Lamarr Houston. Houston hit Manning hard, and his surgically-repaired neck snapped back like he was in a car accident. Manning lost a fumble, but he got up. The play showed the potential problem with losing one of the five best tackles in the NFL for the rest of the year.
That might end up costing the Broncos later in the season, but it surely didn't matter in the final outcome on Monday. The Raiders didn't put up much of a fight, but that had a lot more to do with the 3-0 Broncos. Denver is the dominant team in the AFC, and depending how you feel about Seattle, in the NFL.
It's hard to imagine Manning playing at this level over 16 games, just because nobody has ever done it before. But if anyone is going to, it might just be the greatest quarterback in NFL history.
