Peyton gives everyone a lesson in “Calm the heck down”
He should have had another, but Blair White‘s, ahem, defense in the middle of the third quarter on a third down would-have-been touchdown pass to Reggie Wayne gave the Titans a little bit of new life.
Asked afterwards what he said to the rookie following the play, Manning laughed it off.
“Like I said, y’all have so many cameras with this coverage and I realize you can’t do anything without getting filmed,” Manning said. “So I asked [NFL Network sideline reporter] Alex [Flanagan] what I said to Blair and she said she couldn’t repeat it.”
He was a lot more jovial after the game though, especially because a) Indy’s back in the playoff race and b) we don’t have to spend the next 10 days talking about the decline of Peyton (Manning claims he doesn’t read/listen to stuff, but at some point Tom Moore told him to “keep his head up,” so he knew things were bad).
