Congratulations to Peyton Manning on breaking the record for most passing touchdowns in a season this afternoon against the Houston Texans. Manning threw four touchdown passes today giving him 51 on the season, breaking the old record set by Tom Brady with 50 back in 2007.
I loved hearing CBS commentators Ian Eagle and Dan Fouts interviewing Manning after the game. Peyton displayed genuine humility, not taking the credit for himself, but deflecting the praise to everyone from his receivers to his coaching staff. He even made a joke that Tom Brady would probably break his record next year.
I’ve been a Peyton Manning fan for many years now, and so it is very gratifying to see Manning have such tremendous success this year (and it doesn’t hurt that he is playing for my hometown team the Denver Broncos). It is a pleasure to watch Peyton play the game.
Manning himself would probably spend more time focusing on the outcome of today's game itself. How Denver won the game, the fact that it was a complete team victory (37-13 Broncos), and how the Broncos are in the driver’s seat to have the number one seed in the AFC.
