An extra football crosses in front of Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning as he throws another during NFL football practice at the team’s training facility in Englewood, Colo., on Friday. The Broncos are scheduled to play the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLVIII on Feb. 2.ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – Peyton Manning is the only player in this Super Bowl who has won the big game.
He’s also lost one.
So, he knows both the elation of putting his fingerprints on the Lombardi Trophy and the anguish of watching it slip through his grasp, and he admonished his Denver Broncos teammates not to cut corners as they prepare to face the Seattle Seahawks on Feb. 2.
“I think the biggest thing he’s said is eliminate distractions, making sure you’re taking care of the little details, doing extra, watching film, working out, getting your body right,” receiver Eric Decker said.
“And then I think the biggest thing is he says he’s won one, he’s lost one. And it’s a complete high; it’s a complete low. So, really understand to give everything you’ve got because this is the last game of the year.”
