There have been whispers for the past month that something is not right with Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning.
Well, with the Broncos eliminated from the playoffs after a 24-13 loss to the Colts on Sunday, there’s no reason to speak softly anymore.
Broncos QB Peyton Manning played Sunday’s Divisional Playoff loss and the past month of the season with a torn right quad, per two sources.

It might explain Manning’s subpar performance in his record ninth one-and-done in the playoffs. No other QB has had more than four since 1966.
Peyton Manning initially tore his right quad Dec. 14 in win over Chargers, per sources. MRI back in Denver confirmed tear.
