Peyton Manning made quick work of the Philadelphia Eagles in a warp-speed game between the NFL's top two offenses, both of which like to snap the ball quickly.
''Might have to give old Thunder an IV after this one,'' Manning said of the white Arabian horse who trots around the Sports Authority Field following touchdowns.
If there's any IV bags left, that is. The Eagles are all hooked up to them!
With two TD passes each to Demaryius Thomas and Wes Welker, Peyton Manning completed all but a half dozen of his 34 throws for 327 yards.
Denver cruised past the Eagles so fast and so furious...Peyton Manning didn't even step on the field in the fourth quarter and cooled his jets on the sideline for a 12-minute stretch in the first half, no less.
Manning also joined Milt Plum in 1960 as the only quarterbacks to throw that many touchdown passes without an interception.
''We have high expectations for ourselves and want to go out there and score a lot of points,'' Welker said. ''We were able to do that today.''
Just as they have all season, piling up 49, 41, 37 and 52 points, thanks mostly to Manning, who's off to the best start of his storied career and helped Denver outgain Michael Vick and the Eagles 472 yards to 450.
And that's all that needs to be written about yesterday's game...Glad I'm not a gambler...I'd of gotten took as they say.
What a way to start the week...but in Philadelphia....We are kind of used to it!
