TEAMS: Houston Texans, Denver Broncos, Miami Dolphins, Jacksonville Jaguars, Atlanta Falcons
TE Owen Daniels making a play last time these 2 teams met in regular season back in 2010.
The Houston Texans had no problem running through the first two games of the 2012 regular season against the Miami Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars. They outscored the two teams a 57-17 and allowed under 250 total yards in each game. Now in the 3rd week of the season the Texans face their first real test of the year. The Peyton Manning led Denver Broncos are next in the way of the 2011 AFC South Champs. Manning will be hoping to put his team back onto the winning track after a loss on Monday night to the Atlanta Falcons. In Manning the Texans face a QB with a 16-2 record against their franchise, and 9-0 all time against the Texans when playing at home (all w/Colts).
The Texans will try to impose their will on the Broncos from start to finish with the run game all day on Sunday afternoon on CBS. This will help keep Manning off the field and keep the crowd out of the game while the Texans off...

Manning remains confident after loss in Atlanta
If Peyton Manning is sore, he's not saying. If his confidence is waning, he'd be the last to let anyone know.
Back on the practice field following his first loss as a Denver Bronco, Manning wouldn't offer much Wednesday when asked if the hits he took against Atlanta had any lasting impact.
''I don't really get into that,'' Manning said. ''...
Texans' offense could be ideal defense vs. Manning
The best way for the Houston Texans to defend Peyton Manning in Denver on Sunday may be to keep him off the field.
The Texans (2-0) dominated possession with a punishing running game in last week's 27-7 victory over Jacksonville.
Sure, the defense played well again, holding the Jaguars to nine first downs and 117 total yards. But thanks to the well-executed ball-control game...
Why Peyton Manning Is So Good For The NFL
When word got out last year that Peyton Manning was not going to play in 2011, I for one was devastated. I'm not a Colts fan just a huge NFL fan that knew I would miss the man, if for anything, his pure passion and knowledge of the game.I'm not going to throw a bunch of stats or anything to really make you think in this article, anyone who is a football fan knows, his stats...
21 Best NSFW ‘Peyton Manning Is A Worthless INT Throwing Bum’ F-Bomb Tweets
If you weren’t watching the game, you’ve probably heard by now. Peyton Manning threw three interceptions in the first quarter of last nights game against the Atlanta Falcons. This is something Peyton hasn’t done since 2007 and something nobody saw coming after his strong showing against the Steelers last week. The Broncos ended up making a fourth quarter push, but couldn’t...

Fan converts Manning jersey into Luck jersey
I understand the economy is rough, but converting an old Peyton Manning Colts jersey into an Andrew Luck jersey isn’t a very good luck, as you see from the picture above.
It would have been better to just wear the Manning jersey and not alter it, or buy a Luck jersey.

Texans' offense could be ideal defense
HOUSTON (AP) -- The way Houston is dominating possession time, Peyton Manning might expect to spend lots of playing time on the sideline Sunday.
The Texans (2-0) kept the ball with a punishing running game in last week's 27-7 victory over Jacksonville. Sure, the defense played well again, holding the Jaguars to nine first downs and 117 total yards. But thanks to the well-executed...

Denver Broncos vs. Atlanta Falcons: The Hero and the Zero
Denver had a late second half rally to get with in a one possession game, but at the end of the game, the unspeakable, horrendous, first half play of the Broncos was too much for Manning and the team to overcome. As always, when the day is over we have to have a winner and a loser and yes, a hero and a zero.Let’s start with the zero today. It would be easiest to point the finger...
Denver Broncos vs. Atlanta Falcons: Five Things We Learned
After a weekend full of exciting football matchups, I was excited to watch the Monday night game featuring the meeting of two undefeated teams, the Denver Broncos visiting the Atlanta Falcons. Ok, the league has only played one week, but Denver was impressive in beating Pittsburgh 31 to 19 at home on September 9 in the Sunday night game while Atlanta used a dominant second half in...
What to say when your NFL player is in trouble with the law
Michael Turner's DUI arrest last night after his Falcons beat Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos treated fans to another soothing yet empty team statement that tells nothing.

Houston at Denver NFL Week 3 Preview: Will Peyton Bounce Back Against The Texans D?
Arian Foster and the powerful Texans offense have not been broken a sweat through two games this season, but they will be grasping for some air at the Mile High.
Peyton Manning is back and is not better than ever since everybody feels as if they are an expert of some sort when breaking down arguably the greatest quarterback that has ever lived.
Manning struggled miserably against...

Week 3 QB Rankings
Cam Newton tops our list this week after he set a career high in rushing yards last week. Superman (SuperCam) looks near impossible to stop when he decides to run it in the red zone and with the emergence of Brandon LaFell, owners can now be confident that Newton has two legit receivers to throw to.
I have RGIII ranked high following week two’s matchup with the...
SURPRISE: Bucs play AND win
Checked last night’s Pirates game at 8:30: rain delay. Checked the game again at 9:30: rain delay. Checked one last time at 10:30: rain delay…decided to finish watching the Falcons defense do what the Steelers could only dream of against Peyton Manning.
