Peyton Manning led the Denver Broncos on a late fourth quarter drive on Sunday taking less than one minute to score the game-tying touchdown to send their match up with the defending Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks into overtime.  He would not get that chance in overtime though as Seattle received the ball to begin and never gave it up.  Russel Wilson would lead Seattle on a 80-yard drive on the first possession of the extra session, capped by Marshawn Lynch's 6-yard touchdown run for a 26-20 victory over the Broncos on Sunday.

"I don't think anyone ever doubts Russell.  He's just too good," Seattle tight end Zach Miller said.  "If you think he's struggling at all, you know he's going to make plays like he did with his feet.  He was so huge there in that second half and overtime.  You always trust in him."  Wilson finished 24 of 34 for 258 yards and touchdown passes of 39 yards to Ricardo Lockette and 5 yards to Lynch, both late in the first half.  Wilson rushed for 40 yards, most coming in overtime, while Lynch added 88 yards rushing.

Manning (pictured on the left) struggled some on Sunday as he was 31 of 49 for 303 yards and two touchdowns, but also threw a costly fourth-quarter interception.  With the loss, Denver falls to 2-1 on the season as they head into their bye week.  They will be back in action on October 5th when they play host to the Arizona Cardinals.  You can hear all the action for that game right here on Sports Radio 1340 the FAN and at 1340theFAN.com.
