Peyton Manning is healthy
Healthy may be a relative word, but for a 39-year-old quarterback who’s been through four neck surgeries and is believed to be frailer than your grandmother’s china, Peyton Manning looks to be pretty darn healthy. I mean, did you see the legs on the ‘ol guy?

He dove head first! That may not be be the equivalent of John Elway‘s “Helicopter,” but that’s about as good as you’re going to get from Peyton Manning.
And that’s not even the best of it. Look at this play. Last season, even earlier this season, this play ends in a self-sack 99 out of 100 times.

Manning actually tried to run away from Jamie Collins, one of the fastest linebackers in the NFL. If he tried to do that two months ago, he may have left Sports Authority Field on a stretcher.
This guy is never going to be Cam Newton — shocker, I know — but he’s giving it everything he has. And with two weeks of rest before the big game, he should have even more to give against the Carolina Panthers.
