2. Peyton Manning vs. San Diego's Secondary
Ron Chenoy-USA Today Sports
It is no secret that Peyton Manning is one of the best quarterbacks of all time, and depending on what happens in this game, he’ll have a chance to either build upon his already legendary legacy or give his critics another reason to shoot him down. If Manning loses this game he will be 9-12 in the playoffs with nine losses coming in the first round Manning’s team played in.
The Broncos will have to exploit this matchup as there are not many teams who can shut down all of Denver’s receiving threats, and San Diego is not one of them. The Chargers have the 29th ranked secondary in terms of yards per game.
