Manning also broke 5,000 career completions, making him just the second NFL quarterback in history to do so.
Fantasy Impact: Unfortunately, Manning’s milestones don’t do his owners much good. Manning finished with three touchdowns in his last outing against Oakland, so this performance failed to live up to expectations set beforehand.
The yardage was a nice compliment, but Manning’s owners likely had their eyes set on a much bigger night to kick off the playoffs in most leagues. He should continue to put up plenty of points next week against the Ravens.
