Peyton Manning tosses a touchdown, trash talks D.J. Swearinger

If you made a list of the top trash talkers in the NFL, Peyton Manning would probably be near the bottom. The methodical quarterback tends to go about his business quietly, but that wasn't the case on Saturday.

After tossing a touchdown against Houston, Manning found Texans safety D.J. Swearinger and did his best Richard Sherman impression.

There is a little history here. The Broncos and Texans held a join practice last week and things got chippy according to reports. Swearinger was involved and credited an interception for part of the chippiness:

“Well, I actually got a pick. I picked him off. I picked off Peyton (Manning) today,” Swearinger said via CBS Houston. “I guess that got them a little chippy. The offense did great, ran the ball down their throat. I mean, I would get mad too.”

Maybe Manning told Swearinger he should be like Allen Iverson and stop talking about practice.
