In celebration of The Sheriff’s 43rd Birthday, here are five of the best Peyton Manning moments in Denver Broncos history.

The Denver Broncos became very fortunate when the Indianapolis Colts decided to part ways with Peyton Manning back during the 2012 offseason. It definitely sent shock waves all over the NFL landscape. After a near two week time difference, the Denver Broncos were able to sign Peyton Manning to the team.

Denver had just won their first playoff game since the 2005 season with Tim Tebow as their quarterback. But it appeared clear that the signing of Peyton Manning was going to make the Denver Broncos competitive for Super Bowls again.

Everyone can remember where they were when the Manning news broke. I know I was a junior in college just coming back from my morning class. I turned on the television to do homework and watch Sportscenter when, there it was, Peyton Manning signs with the Denver Broncos.

I will admit that I was excited to have Manning but also sad because I feared it would spell the end of Tim Tebow. But alas, Peyton Manning made the Denver Broncos competitive.

During his four years with the Denver Broncos, he would provide so many great memories. Having said that, here are my top five Peyton Manning moments of all time in Denver.
