Mock looks at the Dolphins game
Manning finishes with a passer rating of 133.9! Still, he forced too many throws into tight or double coverage. Also, we’re used to watching 18 check out of one play into a better play. Today, he guessed wrong several times, and it cost the Colts. There were great plays, of course; the 80-yarder to Clark was a thing of beauty, and he showed good maneuverability by completing for 14 yards to Brown after back-peddling to avoid a sack. After his hobbled 2008 season, it’s nice to see him fully mobile in the pocket. The wins ties Manning with Unitas at 119 (for fifth) in total wins by a starting QB. It was his 37th game-winning drive (upping his own Colts record). In his post-game interview, Peyton is humble and expresses discomfort at being compared to a great like Unitas. Yup… class.
