November 30, 2008 Peyton Manning completed 15-of-21 passes for 125 yards and two interceptions in the Week 13 victory over Cleveland.
Our View:In the last three meetings, the Colts and Browns have scored a combined total of 50 points. Consider this performance an anomaly, as Manning has thrown multiple touchdown passes in five of the last six games. And he faces the Bengals and Lions (at home) during the next two weeks.
November 23, 2008 Peyton Manning led the Colts on a game-winning drive in the fourth quarter or overtime for the 35th time in his career on Sunday night, as the Colts knocked off the Chargers 23-20. He went 32-of-44 for 255 yards and two touchdowns with one interception.
Our View:Manning didn't have as good of a game as was expected against the Chargers' weak defense, but he still got the job done for the Colts and finished with decent fantasy numbers.
November 20, 2008 From here on out, NFL referees will have to take a member of his crew with him to the sidelines where the replay booth is, according to the New York Post. However, the second official will not be allowed to view the replay. His purpose is to write down the referee's ruling and where the ball should be spotted in an NFL-provided notebook.
Our View:This tweaking was put into effect because of the touchdown that was taken away from the Steelers at the end of their game last week. The purpose of this is to simply have everything written down. In the past, officials could have told a referee if they noticed he made a mistake, so we're not exactly certain how this will change anything except to take more time as the referee explains the ruling to the official so he can write it down.
November 19, 2008 Peyton Manning has been named the AFC Player of the Week, according to the Associated Press. Manning earned the honor by passing for 320 yards with two scoring strikes in a close win over the Texans last Sunday.
Our View:It marked his eighth weekly honor, and his 45th career 300-yard game.
November 17, 2008 Peyton Manning's 30 completions against the Texans on Sunday left him with 3,702 for his career, moving him past Fran Tarkenton into seventh place in NFL history, according to the Indianapolis Star.
Our View:Manning has been hot of late, with nine scores in the last month. He now has 17 touchdowns on the year, and is rounding back into form for fantasy owners.
