Peyton Manning drops F-bomb in short victory speech after Week 2 win
Peyton Manning kept his victory speech short and not so sweet on Thursday.

Going into Thursday night's game against Kansas City, there were a lot of questions about Peyton Manning's arm.
After Manning only threw for 175 yards in Denver's 19-13 Week 1 win over Baltimore, a lot of people were starting to wonder if Manning had any arm strength left.
Manning didn't exactly silence the critics early on against Kansas City either, as he threw several ugly passes in the first half, including a pick-six to Chiefs defensive back Marcus Peters that put Kansas City up 14-0.
That pick led a lot of people to believe that the end might be near for Manning.
Peyton Manning should've retired. He's washed up.

Manning wasn't washed up though.
Over the final two-and-a-half quarters, the Broncos quarterback threw three touchdown passes, including a 19-yard pass to Emmanuel Sanders with 36 seconds left that tied the game at 24.
After Bradley Roby picked up a Jamaal Charles fumble and returned it for the game-winning touchdown, the Broncos headed to their locker room to celebrate -- and that's where coach Gary Kubiak gave a game ball to Manning.
Once Manning received the game ball, his teammates demanded a speech and Manning delivered with something you don't usually here from the Broncos quarterback: an F-bomb.
"I'm not much for speeches, right," Manning said. "Great (freaking) win, let's go!"
Manning ended up throwing for 256 yards in the game to go along with his three touchdown passes in the 31-24 win.
You can see the rest of the postgame celebrate over at the Broncos official website.
