INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -Peyton Manning extended his own NFL record for 4,000-yard seasons to nine during Sunday’s game against Tennessee.
Manning needed 93 yards to achieve the mark again, and he wasted little time in hooking up with Joseph Addai on a 55-yard catch-and-run in the first quarter. That play gave Manning a perfect 7-for-7 start with 95 yards and one TD.
The two-time league MVP has failed to hit 4,000 yards passing in only two of his 11 NFL seasons – 1998, his rookie year, and 2005, when he threw only 14 passes in the final two games and finished with 3,747 yards.
Dan Marino ranks second all-time with six 4,000-yard seasons.
