PEYTON MANNING THE BEST QUARTER BACK EVER!!!!!

Peyton Manning broke/tied two Quarterback records in the 2013-2014 season. In the very first game of the season vs. the Ravens. Peyton threw seven touchdown passes that game. Peyton is one of seven Quarterbacks to this accomplishment. The other Quarterbacks are Sid Luckman (1943), Adrian Burk (1954), George Blanda (1961), Y. A. Tittle (1962), Joe Kapp (1969), and Nick Foles (2013).

   In 1982, Dan Marino broke the single season touchdown record with 49! Forty nine touchdown records is still incredible and almost impossible even today. Peyton Manning broke the record with 49 touchdown passes in 2004. Peyton held that record for 3 years, until Tom Brady broke it with 50! Tom Brady made everybody think that record could never be broken. In Week 15 vs. the Chargers, Peyton had 45 touchdown passes. After the game Peyton had only 47 touchdown passes, which met Peyton Manning needed four touchdown passes in the next game vs. the Texans because he's probably not going to start the last game of the season, so he'll be safe for the playoffs. On the game vs. the Texans Peyton Manning had his third touchdown pass of the game to Eric Decker which tied Tom Brady's record. Peyton threw his forth to Tight End Julius Thomas in the corner of the endzone. Peyton broke the record and he now has 51 touchdown passes in the 2013 season!

Is Peyton Manning the best Quarterback ever?

Mike Tomlin and Cortez Allen Gang Tackle

The Pittsburgh Steelers were losing 13-7 in the 3rd quarter with 6:16 remaining. Shaun Suisham kicked the ball off to the great Jacoby Jones. Jones ran pass everybody with the help of great blocks. He had one man to beat which was Shaun Suisham. He ran pass Shaun Suisham, but Cortez Allen was on the other side of the field catching up to Jones and Mike Tomlin was standing on the sideline peeking backwards. As soon as Jacoby Jones was about a foot behind Tomlin, Coach Tomlin moved back onto the sidelines. Jacoby Jones slowed down enough (thanks to Mike Tomlin) and Cortez Allen tackled him at the 27 yard line. You can see Mike Tomlin watch the Jumbotron and then peek backwards. I'm not sure if Tomlin did this on purpose or not, but Joe Flacco thought he was cheating. "Mike Tomlin stopped us one time, I think." Flacco said. Flacco also was thinking the same thing at the end of the 2013 Super Bowl when Ginn was receiving a kick. Flacco said, " if he for some reason breaks down the field I'm going to tackle, I don't what the rules on that are, but I'm pretty sure they will call it a touchdown anyways." Jacoby Jone after the game was talking about that play and said that he was running through a hole and saw Mike Tomlin on the field. "Does he know he's on the field" Jones said during the kick return.



You can easily see that when Mike Tomlin was getting off the field at the last second he put his foot on the field and then got off the field. The possibilities for the punishment are being fined of taking away a draft pick. Jacoby Jones said that it did slow him down, but he shouldn't have been caught. After the play Mike Tomlin was smiling. Do you think he did this on purpose or not and what should his punishment be.
