Trevathan had an INT, 2 PD and was #4 on the team with tackles. Woodyard had 10 tackles .5 sacks 1 TFL 1 PD 2 QB hits
the MVP of the week no doubt. unless someone else joins Manning as the first QB in NFL history to throw for 7 TDs in one game since 1969 when the Super Bowl was played in Tulane Stadium. only 5 men did it before that, including LSU's Y.A. Tittle.
I played against Peyton in both of my (only) fantasy leagues this week. Ouch!!! Just when I was finally starting to somewhat like the guy. Throw the challenge flag Harbaugh! Ray Lewis and Ed Reed would have never fallen for all of those play-actions when they never established a running game.
Manning's stats for the last 3 quarters of the game: 22-34 418 yards 7 TDs And that probably included about 4 dropped passes (whoever has Decker on their fantasy team is sick).
At the end of the 1st qtr, I was feeling really good (0 TDs). At halftime, I was still feeling alright (2 TDs). At the end of the 3rd, I was cursing Harbaugh for the challenge situation and telling myself that if Peyton had any more TDs in the 4th, then I was going old school and only worrying about the big Saints game on Sunday. Now, all in on the Who Dat. No other choice when Peyton scores 62 in one of my leagues and 78 in the other.
And I took the full dose of that in our fantasy league and he had Welker. Thank god it wasn't in my money league.
A couple notes: WR coach for Denver is a former LSU player... http://www.denverbroncos.com/team/coaches/Tyke-Tolbert/3eaabef1-b1b5-40c0-abde-515b1b866e19 Team Dentist is another former LSU player... http://denver.sbnation.com/denver-broncos/2011/4/20/2121689/matt-mauck-lsu-broncos-dentist On a side note, I know its just the first game, but the Ravens offense looked out of sync, big time. Sure am glad they fired Cam. Thanks Ravens. Did they blame that loss on Cam also?
