Peyton Manning and the Broncos offense struggled to get things going all day versus the Pittsburgh Steelers, but when things mattered most, they got it done. And it all started with one of the craziest plays in Broncos history.
Trailing in the fourth quarter, Manning sparked the Broncos offense with the never-before-seen self-sack pass — A.K.A. the “Possum Pass.”

Following the game, the media wanted to know exactly what was going through Manning’s mind on that play, but he went no further than to say that he’d like to forget it as soon as possible.

Apparently Manning doesn’t understand how the internet works. Sorry, but that bad boy isn’t going anywhere for a long, long time.
