The Denver Broncos will be looking to get back to winning ways on Sunday following their first defeat of the season in Week 7 against the Indianapolis Colts. This week they will be up against the Washington Redskins, and they will want to claim a win to keep pace with the division leaders, the Kansas City Chiefs.
Today's big game will start at 4.25 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on the Fox network. Alternatively the game can be watched online through live stream – free for Direct TV NFL Sunday Ticket – via the link provided below.
Manning attempted to shut out all talk about the emotions he must be feeling walking back out onto the field at Lucas Oil Stadium last week, and pretend like it was just like any other game. However, in the minutes before the game got started the noise in the stadium was so immense that it was hard for him to ignore.
Thousands of Colts fans were on their feet showing their appreciation and love for their former quarterback, and Manning responded graciously by removing his helmet and waving to acknowledge fans in every corner of the stadium.
"It's something I'll always remember, and I'm very grateful for that," Manning said after the game.
However, he will want to forget the loss that his new Broncos team suffered, as the Colts took them down 39-33. Andrew Luck – his replacement when he left – played fantastically well all night and showed that Indianapolis has moved on.
Some thought that the emotion of the game got to Manning a bit. "I think he got emotional, and how could he not?" said Colts punter Pat McAfee, one of Manning's former teammates. "It had to be very awkward for him almost, because this city loves him so much, and rightfully so. Guys who were on the team with him love him so much, so it had to be emotional for him, and I think it got to him a little bit."
However, this week it will be back to normal, and he will be 100 percent focused on taking down the Redskins – bad news for Washington fans!
