Peyton Manning in Denver: From Horseshoe to Mile High Magic (and How Many Years Was That Magic?)
Let's face it, folks. Seeing Peyton Manning in anything other than the Indianapolis Colts' blue and white felt...well, like catching your dad rocking neon skinny jeans at the grocery store. Heretical, right? But after a neck injury sidelined him in 2011, Peyton wasn't ready to hang up his cleats just yet. Enter the Denver Broncos, orange helmets held high, ready to take a chance on the veteran quarterback.
So, How Many Years Did the Sheriff Ride with the Broncos?
Here's the answer, quicker than Peyton calling an audible at the line: Four Seasons. That's right, from 2012 to 2015, Peyton Manning led the Denver Broncos on a tear through the AFC West. They clinched their division title every year, proving doubters wrong and leaving defenses in the dust (well, maybe not Tim Tebow's defense, but let's not dwell on the past).
QuickTip: Pause when something clicks.

Peyton didn't just rack up regular-season wins. He orchestrated two Super Bowl appearances with the Broncos! Yes, you read that right. Two! (Although, facing his former team, the Colts, in Super Bowl XLVIII was a bit...awkward. Thanksgiving dinner with the in-laws vibes, anyone?)
