The first forecast for Super Bowl Sunday has been released, and it's currently calling for a high of 35 degrees and a 30 percent chance of snow.
According to Weather.com, snow showers are possible and temperatures will range from 25 to 35 degrees. The Broncos and Seahawks will kick off at 6:30 PM ET, so they'd likely be playing in temperatures in the 20s. Wind isn't expected to be a factor; it's projected to be blowing around 8 MPH. Of course, we're ten days away from the big game, which leaves plenty of time for change. The NFL has previously said that if a winter storm is expected, the game could be moved to Saturday, Monday, or Tuesday. Worst-case scenario would be for Super Bowl to be pushed back to February 9. We're not at that point.

Peyton Manning completed 32-of-43 throws for 400 yards and two touchdowns as the Broncos advanced to Super Bowl 48 in Sunday's 26-16 AFC Championship win over the Patriots.
Dissecting New England's defense on crossers and chain-moving routes, Manning converted his first scoring pass on a goal-line rollout, finding Jacob Tamme open from one yard out. When Aqib Talib (ribs) left the game, Peyton got aggressive at the intermediate and deep sections, exposing the Patriots' undermanned secondary with Demaryius Thomas en route to a 13-3 first-half lead. The dynamic duo increased the margin to 20-3 when Peyton found Demaryius slipping inside Alfonzo Dennard for a three-yard third-quarter touchdown. The Patriots didn't get a single hit or sack on Manning in a dominant performance by both Peyton and Denver's pass protection. The Broncos will meet the winner of Sunday night's 49ers-Seahawks game in Super Bowl XLVIII.

Peyton Manning's football future will be determined by the results of a March physical on his four-times surgically repaired neck.
Assuming the exam shows Manning's neck is stable, he will resume his career. If increased risk of injury is shown, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports Manning "will be forced to decide whether to retire." Manning has made it clear he wants to keep playing in 2014 regardless of whether the Broncos win the Super Bowl. Manning turns 38 on March 24. Asked in his post-game presser late Sunday if he was already thinking about the exam, Peyton replied "The only thing weighing on my mind is how soon I can get a Bud Light in my mouth."

Peyton Manning completed 25-of-36 passes for 230 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in Denver's 24-17 Divisional Round victory over San Diego.
Manning got lucky on Denver's opening possession, as his poor throw was dropped by Chargers LCB Shareece Wright on a sure pick. Peyton took advantage, plays later hitting Demaryius Thomas for a two-yard score. Manning threw his second touchdown from three yards out to Wes Welker midway through the second quarter, capitalizing on Nick Novak's missed field goal. Manning's lone interception came on a pass that bounced off Eric Decker's chest in the end zone and was caught by Chargers ILB Donald Butler. It was Peyton's first red-zone INT of the season. Manning's passing day largely consisted of chain-moving completions to Demaryius and Julius Thomas and Wes Welker, as Denver controlled the game from start to finish and beat the Bolts at their own time-of-possession game (36:24). The Broncos will now gear up for an AFC Championship thriller as the Patriots travel to Mile High in Week 20. In our generation, there isn't a better NFL rivalry than Brady-Manning.

Peyton Manning was a consensus pick in the NFL's 2013 All-Pro voting, garnering 50-of-50 first-team votes via the Associated Press.
Because Manning garnered every single quarterback vote, there was no second-team All-Pro QB this year. Here's the rest of the first-team offense: RBs LeSean McCoy and Jamaal Charles, FB Mike Tolbert, TE Jimmy Graham, WRs Calvin Johnson and Josh Gordon, OTs Joe Thomas and Jason Peters, OGs Louis Vasquez and Evan Mathis, and C Ryan Kalil. Justin Tucker earned first-team All-Pro kicker honors. Cordarrelle Patterson is the All-Pro kick returner.

Peyton Manning (ankle) was upgraded to "full" for Thursday's practice.
Looking to break Drew Brees' single-season yardage record, Manning is good to go for Week 17 against the Raiders and their porous secondary. Manning needs 265 yards to best Brees. His 5,211 yards are already third-most all time.
