Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning made history during Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

On the Broncos second drive, Manning passed former Packers QB Brett Favre to become the NFL’s all-time passing yard leader (71,871). (VIDEO: Watch Old-Bones Peyton Manning Knock A Defender Flat On His A**)

Unfortunately, Peyton also threw four picks against a depleted KC defense — he’d thrown 16 across the past six games — and was benched for long-time backup Brock Osweiler halfway through Denver’s 29-13 loss.

Manning has struggled with injuries since he found a second home in Denver. No one expected Manning to have the same physical tools he exhibited for years in Indy, but his performance thus far has raised serious doubts as to his viability as a starting play-caller in 2015.

Has Peyton’s amazing NFL career finally come to an end?
