Manning draws Steelers in Broncos debut-- Wed Apr 18 10:20 pm -- To be played in prime time week one
The nation won't have to wait long to see Peyton Manning in a Broncos uniform. Manning's first game as Denver's quarterback will come in prime time as Denver hosts Pittsburgh on the opening Sunday of the NFL season. Manning won't have an easy assignment against the Steelers, who ranked first in overall defense and against the pass last year. (ESPN)
FF Today's Take:It's no mystery that the Steelers like to put pressure the passer so this isn't the most friendly match up for a what could be a rusty and fragile Peyton Manning. By the time the 36-year-old sets foot on the field for the game against Pittsburgh, he won't have thrown a football in an NFL season game in over 20 months.
