Peyton Manning Breaks Fantasy Hearts With Slide
Peyton Manning Breaks Fantasy Hearts With Slide
Do you remember the Brian Westbrook slide on the two yard line a couple years ago? Well, Peyton Manning has now overthrown that terrible moment in fantasy history with this long run.
With the game near over, Peyton Manning needed just one first down in order to knell out the clock. The Raiders were completely committed to the run on the right side which left Peyton all alone for a long naked bootleg scamper into the endzone. But, rather than padding the stats and prolonging a game that was over, he opted to slide down to set up the victory formation.
This touchdown that could have been will no doubt cost more than a few fantasy owners a championship. Although the glass half full way to look at things is that he did get a few rushing points with that run, and did finish the game with 3 scores (2 of which came in the 2nd half). Still a few car alarms may have been set off from random profanity on Sunday in your neighborhood, thanks to this play.
