| Modest Manning stays grounded despite record-breaking feat Sunday, Dec 22, 2013 08:08 PM PST  (Reuters) - Peyton Manning broke the single season NFL record for touchdown passes on Sunday but the modest quarterback was more comfortable discussing his team's performance later. "I really feel like it's a team accomplishment, certainly an offensive accomplishment," the Denver Broncos quarterback said after throwing his 51st touchdown pass. I think it's a unique thing to be a part of NFL history, even though it may be temporary... (Tom) Brady will probably break it next year and the year after, so we'll enjoy it for as long as it lasts." Manning started Sunday's game against the Houston Texans with 47 TDs in 14 games this season, adding four more to regain the record he held for three years before Brady broke it in 2007. Manning described 2004 as a "unique chase" because he was chasing Dan Marino's two decades-old record. Full Story | Top |
