5 Things I Learned From Week 11 of the NFL Season

Peyton Manning Is Human

Going into their Week 11 game against the Rams, Denver was already missing their new top running back, Ronnie Hillman. Fortunately, Montee Ball was due back (is that fortunate though?), and the team's passing attack was playing at the same level it was in its record-breaking 2013 campaign.

Then Julius Thomas went down with an ankle injury. Montee Ball hurt his groin. And Emmanuel Sanders took a vicious hit and left the game with a concussion.

As a result, Peyton Manning ended the game with a -1.94 Passing NEP total. Shaun Hill's 3.15 score was over 5 points better.

Evidently, all you need to do is take away 80 percent of Peyton Manning's weapons and he becomes human again.
