Peyton Manning exquisite in Broncos third preseason game

This was the Peyton Manning that Denver Broncos fans have been waiting for. The doubters who found a voice after Peyton Manning struggled in his first two preseason games in a Denver Broncos uniform have been silenced. Manning was nearly perfect in Week Three against the San Francisco 49ers. The 36-year-old looked to be in his prime against Jim Harbaugh‘s heralded defense, completing 10 of 12 passes (83%) for 122 yards in under one quarter of work.

Both players filled needs at thin positions.The Denver Post notes, however, that they are hardly locks to make the team because of injuries. Brooking "popped" his hamstring and hasn’t been back to practice since. Leonhard was activated off the physically unable to perform list, but still isn’t fully ready for practice.
