March 7th, 2012 - a day which will live in infamy for Colts fans, the day that Peyton Manning was released from the organization, having taken them to eight division championships, two AFC championships, and one Super Bowl championship. Deemed too old, too much of a risk, and that his glory days were well past him, Peyton Manning has been proving to everyone why he is the best quarterback in the league. Luckily for us, The Broncos (more specifically John Elway) recognized this and picked him up on March 20th, 2012.

Luckily for us, The Broncos (more specifically John Elway) recognized this and picked him up on March 20th, 2012.
And here we are. Not even two years later and Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos are in the Super Bowl. Not only are we in the championship game, but on our way here we have broken records: 55 touchdown passes (crushing Tom Brady's 50) and 5,477 passing yards.
Most big changes in sports, especially quarterbacks, are understood to need time to adjust and become familiar with how the new team works, but Peyton Manning just needed one season, and he was ready. But it wasn't just Manning. Everyone on the Broncos, from the offensive line to the nearly perfect Matt Prater (who broke some records of his own this season) put everything they had into their season.
One game left: against Seattle, in New York. The numbers speak for themselves, and even against the number one defense in the league, it is a certainty that the Denver Broncos will bring home their first Super Bowl in more than 15 years, led by Peyton Manning and the brain of John Elway. Regardless of the score of the game, Peyton Manning has proven his old team wrong - his best days are still to come.
Los Broncos de Peyton Manning

7 Marzo, 2012 es un día olvidable para los fanáticos de los Colts (Potrillos), el día en que Peyton Manning fue despedido de la organización, él habiéndola dirigido a ocho campeonatos divisionales, dos Campeonatos de la AFC, y un Campeonato de Super Bowl. Considerado un riesgo, demasiado viejo, y que los días gloriosos ya le han pasado, Peyton Manning les ha probado a todos porque es el mejor quarterback (mariscal de campo) en la liga. Por suerte, los Broncos (específicamente a John Elway) reconoció esto y lo contrató el 20 de Marzo, 2012.
Y aquí estamos. No han pasado ni dos años y Peyton Manning y los Broncos de Denver se hallan en el Super Bowl. No solamente estamos en el Partido del Campeonato, sino que hemos quebrado marcas en el camino hasta aquí: 55 pases de anotación (superando la marca de 50 de Tom Brady) y 5.477 yardas por el aire.
Se entiende que en la mayoría de los cambios en los deportes, especialmente a los mariscales de campo, requiere tiempo para acostumbrarse y familiarizarse a los asuntos del equipo nuevo, pero Peyton Manning sólo necesitó una temporada, y estaba listo. Pero no se le debe todo a Manning. Todos con el equipo, desde la línea ofensiva hasta el casi perfecto Matt Prater (quien quebró algunas de sus propias marcas esta temporada) se esforzaron al máximo esta temporada.
Nos falta sólo un partido más: en contra de Seattle, en Nueva York. Los números hablan por sí mismos, y aun en contra de la mejor defensa en la liga, es una certeza de que los Broncos de Denver llevará a casa su primer Super Bowl en más de 15 años, encabezado por Peyton Manning y el genio de John Elway. A pesar de la marca del partido, Peyton Manning ha demostrado a su equipo anterior, que sus mejores días están por venir.
