After 18 years in the NFL, Peyton Manning gives his final ‘Omaha’

An emotional Peyton Manning signed off from his 18-year NFL career with the words “God bless football” — and one final “Omaha”.

Manning’s retirement was announced by his team, the Denver Broncos, on Sunday, four weeks on from the second Super Bowl win of his career.

The 39-year-old admitted at a press conference yesterday that it has been a difficult decision but “it’s the right time”.
