Manning (thigh) completed 28-of-44 passes for 311 yards, with two touchdowns and four interceptions, in Monday's 37-28 loss to the Bengals. Manning's late-season slump continued, and while he led a vicious rally during the third quarter, he otherwise struggled throughout the game. Rarely do you see a four-interception game where all the picks can primarily be blamed on the quarterback, but that was the case for Manning in rainy weather Monday night. The third interception was a killer, as the Broncos were trailing by two in the final three minutes, only to see Manning hand away a pick-six that essentially sealed the game. He threw another ugly interception on the following drive, ending any hope for a last-ditch comeback. The poor effort will raise further questions about Manning's health, but with the Broncos needing a win to lock down a bye week, the future Hall of Famer will presumably take the field for a favorable Week 17 matchup against the Raiders.
