Report: Peyton Manning has told close friends he’ll retire
In a not-so-private moment, Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning
told Patriots coach Bill Belichick that 2015 may be Peyton’s last
rodeo. In much more private moments, Manning reportedly has been more
definitive.Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Manning has told close friends that he’ll retire after Super Bowl 50.
Manning consistently has declined to tip his hand publicly, most recently in a Pro Bowl halftime interview with ESPN’s Chris Berman. If Manning is done, the decision represents a stark contrast from his mindset in November, when he was telling teammates that he intended to play in 2016.
Circumstances have changed dramatically since then, however. After exiting the lineup to rehab a partially torn plantar fascia tendon in this foot, Manning wasn’t expected to make it back to the field in 2015. And surely he wouldn’t have wanted a string of subpar performances to represent his final NFL season.
Now that Manning has made an unexpected return and an event more unexpected run to the Super Bowl, how can he top it in 2016? He can’t, especially if the Broncos win.

2015 Championship Game Football ERA Results
The Football ERA Formula outputs a result that runs on a scale from
approximately 5000 points to -5000 with losing teams that are
dominated getting pushed into the negative numbers by
their victors. Defensive Elements of the Formula
contribute to this negative score in games constituting
blowouts. A few years back, RealFootballAnalysis.com
developed a formula that translates the Final Game
Results of The Football ERA into Composite Scores that
resemble football scores as much as possible. Here are
the Championship Football ERA Game Results and their corresponding Composite Scores:
