Peyton Manning passed 57 times for 438 yards and two scores in Sunday’s 43-21 blowout loss to the New England Patriots at Foxborough.

However, it was perhaps the hollowest 400-yard game of Manning’s career. His two interceptions — specifically the one that was his fault for not seeing Pats linebacker Rob Ninkovich in the second quarter — allowed the Patriots to pull away.

“I was talking to (Broncos radio personality) Dave Logan and he said ‘I’ve never heard you say you stink before,’ and I don’t usually stink,” Manning said. “But I stunk today. I don’t make excuses, I don’t say it happens every now and then. You don’t need to let it happen. You got to play better. You got to practice better.”
