With fewer than two minutes left against the Chargers, while the Broncos were running out the clock, Manning had his ankles wrapped up by defensive end Corey Liuget. Although Manning favored his right knee, he still was able to go back out and take the necessary kneeldowns. He admitted he was "sore" after the game.

Given how much Manning, 37, means to the Broncos, even the slightest issue with his health can be blown out of proportion. Still, despite lostin the 2011 season to neck injury, Manning is one of the most durable quarterbacks in NFL history.
