Peyton Manning had two of the worst games of his career the last two weeks, throwing a combined seven interceptions in losses to the Patriots and Chargers. But his surprising struggles have brought to light how consistent Manning has been over his career.
5. The loss on Sunday night assured the Colts wouldn’t have 12 wins for the first time since 2002. In that seven-year span, the other 15 AFC teams reached 12 wins only 15 times.
4. Sunday was just the third time in 203 games that Manning threw four interceptions. Jake Delhomme has thrown four interceptions three times in his last 22 games.
3. The 22-point loss was the worst home defeat in Manning’s 13-year career. Brett Favre lost by 28 at home to the Packers in Week 11.
2. At 90.8, Manning has his lowest passer rating since 2002. His brother, Eli, has had a rating that high only once in his seven-year career.
1. Despite his poor play, Manning is still on pace for 32 touchdowns this season. He has reached 26 scores in each of his 13 seasons. Ben Roethlisberger has surpassed that mark just once in his seven-year career.
