I think I'm taking Denver now. Yep... Manning has money blah blah blah...
As an athlete... I would only assume it's more enticing to perform better when you have money on the line for 1 GAME. + You want to win a Super Bowl as well.
this the same as trying to claim there a motivational edge. there no such thing when we get to this point in the season, nobody wants it any more than the other guys on the field as they have all played their whole lives for the opportunity to win SBs,, donks could easily win but it certainly wont be because they more motivated than brady and co..
Dumb way to cap a game. Manning took a pay cut. Questioning any motivation at this point in the season is unwise. Cap motivation on a November NBA game on a Thur night...NOT the AFC Championship.
P manning was throwing some of the ugliest passes I've ever seen in the last game.. It's like his arm is shot or something.. It's gonna be the Denver defense and Running game that beats NE if that happens not P Manning...
I don't see Manning lighting it up anymore.. Those days are over and behind him.. NE defense is pretty good against the run last time I checked...
OK so Manning vs Brady the numbers are even up at 2-2. Hey, but the latest match up which counts the most Brady lit up Manning on stat sheets..
Two elite quarterbacks. One unforgettable rivalry. Peyton Manning and Tom Brady will meet for the 17th time when the Broncos host the Patriots in the AFC title game. Relive all their highlights here.

Denver's D should give Brady problems.
If Denver loses, at least you will have your rigjob story lined up.
"Denver's players didn't even try in this game, they were probably told by the front office to throw the game and save the organization $2 million!"
Only if he promises to distribute that bonus to his teammates. I hear he is not well-liked in the locker room. This bonus is almost a pocket-change for him anyways.

Giant... I have a better idea....
Manning has to play 70% of the game for this bonus. Manning plays first quarter.... gets smoked on a blitz. He says he's ok to play... Kubiak says... um no. Osweiler get in the game.
Osweiler goes ape sh#$ on New England D... and wins this game in stellar fashion.
Denver wins game... and doesn't have to pay the 2 mil.
Please Note: Might have to use one of the crisis actors to replace Manning. The real Manning won't fake an injury.
