Peyton Manning rides Broncos to career pinnacle with Super Bowl 50 victory

He has passed for more yards than anyone, more touchdowns than anyone, more victories than anyone. The only question regarding the bust that will represent Peyton Manning in the Pro Football Hall of Fame five-and-a-half years from today, presuming he doesn’t do anything stupid like play another season, is where the sculptor chooses to position the hairline.

Do you go with the rookie Peyton whose scalp still is robust? Mid-career Peyton whose forehead is growing like his command of the game? Or gone-to-Denver Peyton working hard to assert that it isn’t all over?

It really shouldn’t be that tough a call — not after this.
