Quarterback Peyton Manning has called the Broncos offense a work in progress throughout his first games with the team in 2012.
That progress seems to be coming along as Denver’s offense ranks in the NFL’s top 10 in yards per game, yards per play, passing yards per game, interception rate, sack rate, first downs, third-down percentage, red-zone percentage and points per game through Week 5.
Leading that offense is Manning, who despite missing the entire 2011 season with a neck injury, ranks fourth in the NFL with 1,499 passing yards and 11 touchdowns for a QB rating of 101.0.
Over the past three games, as Manning has gotten more game experience playing with Denver’s personnel, he has completed 64.9 percent of his passes for 1,005 yards with eight touchdowns and zero interceptions, good for a passer rating of 107.3.
He has become one of just five quarterbacks in NFL history to throw for at least 1,000 yards and eight touchdowns without throwing an interception during a three-game stretch.
Manning also accomplished the feat during the 2010 season, joining Tom Brady as the only quarterbacks to do so in multiple seasons.
