Brandon McManus is the best kicker in the NFL right now, and it’s not even close.
And as the banged-up Broncos search for any edge while making up ground from their 0-3 start, McManus is a major key to Denver’s improbable run back to the playoffs for the first time in five years.
After just about single-handedly beating the Patriots last Sunday with a franchise-record six field goals in an 18-12 win at Gillette Stadium, McManus is 12-of-13 (92.3%) on field goals this season, with his lone miss coming from 58 yards in Week 2 in Pittsburgh.
