He didn't get benched because he was hurt. He got benched because he couldn't move the ball and turned it over.

He was benched because he was ineffective from being hurt. If he wasn't hurt you'd never pull him out you know that.

All about production. He was out there and wasn't. Why doesn't matter, just like if he was he would still be in.

"
Gary Kubiak: I shouldn't have played Peyton Manning in loss to Chiefs"

"Kubiak said he regrets starting Manning against the Chiefs because of injuries to his right foot and to his ribs."

"Kubiak said he pulled Manning in the third quarter to protect him"

""Peyton is our quarterback if he's healthy. I am disappointed in myself. When Saturday there was more (with ribs) I should have made the decision to not play him."

"It was a bad game," Manning said. "It's really disappointing. I put our team in bad positions all day...I thought I was good enough to play. I was going out to help the team and I ended up hurting the team."

"A compromised Manning was limited in practice last week with a sore right foot and a rib"

"Unable to push off on his throws, unable to escape the rush, unable to keep Kansas City off balance with a running game"

Coach speak trying to protect him. If Manning threw 4 td's instead of 4 pics he would have kept him in. All about production.
