November 15, 2015 – Manning is benched after setting career passing-yards mark
Peyton Manning needed just three yards to pass Brett Favre for the NFL’s all-time passing yards mark. But the first person to catch a pass from Manning on Nov. 15 was wearing a Kansas City Chiefs jersey. Manning would go on to be intercepted three more times on the day, eventually being benched by head coach Gary Kubiak, but not before he completed a four-yard pass to Ronnie Hillman to break Favre’s record. Manning left the game in the third quarter, going just 5-for-20 for 35 yards and four interceptions. Denver lost 29-13 and the career record for NFL wins remained a tie between Manning and Favre as 2015 came to a close.
