Did Peyton Manning REALLY reach 17 mph on run vs. Patriots?

In the third quarter of the AFC championship game, Peyton Manning did something he almost never does: He ran. For several yards.

You didn't see it coming. Neither did the New England Patriots.

Manning, the quarterback whose career is supposed to be on its last legs, used his legs to pick up 12 precious yards and a first down.

Later in the broadcast, CBS made a claim that seemed as unbelievable as Manning's run was unexpected. Old Man Manning, the network said, reached a peak speed of 17 mph.

What?

That rickety, statuesque quarterback?
