DENVER — The question was simple: Are you coming back next year?
As was the case with almost everything Sunday, Peyton Manning didn’t have much of an answer. Or at least not the ones Broncos fans were looking for.
A few minutes after Denver’s 24-13 loss to Indianapolis in the AFC divisional playoffs, the 38-year-old quarterback was noncommittal about returning for the 2015 season, which would be his fourth in the Mile High City.
Asked in his postgame news conference where his mindset is for next season, Manning reiterated what he had said earlier to Broncos play-by-play voice Dave Logan: “I didn’t have a great answer for him.”
Asked again, directly, if he could say “I’m coming back,” Manning didn’t budge, saying he was more focused on the disappointment of the loss to his former team.
