Infos

After suffering one of the cruelest cuts in NFL history by a team where he spent his entire professional career, quarterback Peyton Manning put his injured neck and sterling reputation on the line with the Denver Broncos in the fall of 2012. “We don’t have a Plan B,” Broncos executive John Elway said the previous March when he signed the thirty-six year-old Manning: “We’re going [with] Plan A!” In NoPlan B, veteran sports writer Mark Kiszla follows Manning from training camp through Manning’s first and second seasons, and ultimately, Super Bowl XLVIII.

Peyton Manning is America's quarterback. And America loves a great comeback story. Less than two years after Manning was fired from the Indianapolis Colts, he led the Denver Broncos to the Super Bowl and won pro football's Most Valuable Player award for the fifth time. In 2013, Manning broke the league record for touchdown passes in a single season, despite a body weakened by multiple neck surgeries that threatened to end his career. Manning did it against all odds, in a manner inspirational to any football fanor anybody who has ever lost a job and been forced to start over.This second edition of No Plan B follows Manning's remarkable season with the Broncos on a wild ride to the championship game. Through it all, from the suspension of a star teammate to the heart ailment of his head coach, Manning carried the Broncos to 15 victories and, even in an agonizing defeat at the Super Bowl, reminded us why he is one of America's most beloved role models. Retire? No way. At age 38, Manning's lone goal is: Win it all.
