Manning airs it out in practice

ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO — Peyton Manning is the only four-time MVP in NFL history, he's hoisted a Super Bowl trophy and hosted "Saturday Night Live."

Yet, he's never faced scrutiny quite like this.

"I've never had to comment before on incompletions in practice, so this is new to me," the Denver Broncos quarterback said with a chuckle when peppered with questions about some errant deep throws Monday.

"I will say that when you are throwing deep balls, the idea is to take your shot. It's not the highest percentage play but we're going to keep throwing them," Manning said. "As they always say, in a game if you throw five deep balls and you complete one of them, that's actually a great thing. I mean, you're taking a shot and trying to send a message to the defense to hopefully back them off."
