5-at-10: Manning struggles, Mocs roll, Bobo leaves and Rushmore of Christmas movies/quotes

Peyton Manning looked more man than Peyton on Monday night. Manning was picked four times and the Broncos lost at Cincinnati in a game that looked like a capsule of Manning’s struggles in the nasty elements in postseason conditions.

Manning called this a postseason game before hand saying rightly that a win would secure a first-round bye and keep Denver in the hunt for home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs and his performance was eerily similar to his hit-or-miss showings when the NFL turns to the tournament.

Manning’s career postseason numbers he’s 11-12 in the postseason and with that loss, it means the postseason goes through Manning’s private Waterloo in Foxborough and the Patriots.
