Denver Broncos have confirmed Peyton Manning will start at
quarterback in their Divisional Round game on January 17.
Manning returned from a foot injury in the third quarter of
their final regular season game against the San Diego Chargers on Sunday, replacing
an ineffective Brock Osweiler.
The veteran quickly inspired Denver to an 80-yard touchdown
drive and they went on to score 20 points with him under centre as they claimed
a 27-20 win and secured top seed in the AFC.
That gave Manning an extra week to get closer to 100 per
cent fit, and head coach Gary Kubiak confirmed at his Thursday press conference
the 39-year-old would take over from Osweiler when they return to the field.
