Indianapolis Colts thrash Denver Broncos

TWO days after being named the NFL’s co-Most Valuable Player, Peyton Manning celebrated with his first playoff win as the Indianapolis Colts thrashed the Denver Broncos 41-10 in the AFC wildcard game.

“It feels good to get that first one,” Manning said afterwards. “I need to enjoy it. But I’m sure there’ll be another ‘but’ in my career somewhere along the way that I’ll have to deal with. For now, I’m happy to get this first one out of the way.”

Voted the NFL’s co-MVP with Tennessee quarterback Steve McNair, Manning played like the best player on the planet.
