Denver Broncos coach Gary Kubiak followed ‘gut’ feeling with inspirational Peyton Manning decision

Denver Broncos coach Gary Kubiak said he followed his “gut” by introducing Peyton Manning in their crucial victory over San Diego to clinch home field advantage in the playoffs.

Manning came off the bench and piloted four Denver scoring drives in a 27-20 win over San Diego.

The victory, after reigning Super Bowl champion New England Patriots fell 20-10 to the Miami Dolphins on the final day of the regular season, lifted the Broncos to the American Football Conference West division title and top seed.
