Peyton Manning wins third MVP award
Peyton Manning made an improbable run to his third NFL MVP award today. He joined New York Jets quarterback Brett Favre as the only player in league history to win the award three times. "I know it's an individual award, but truly, in my opinion, a team award," Manning said, who received 32 votes, far ahead of Miami Dolphins quarterback Chad Pennington (4) and the Atlanta Falcons running back Michael Turner (4).
Manning who had surgery twice on his left knee before the season began, (which caused him to lose practice time) got off to a very slow start at 3-4. However, from there Manning worked his magic and the Colts started clicking like a well oiled machined. They are on a current 9-game winning steak and secured a wild-card spot against the San Diego Chargers. He continued his NFL record with his 9th-4,000 passing yard season and ended up with 27 touchdown tosses, to go with 12 interceptions and a 95.0 passer rating.
