Brrr: Another loss in the cold widens gap between Manning's success in warm vs. frigid weather
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Red-faced and bundled on the sideline in a parka and stocking cap, Peyton Manning looked nothing the part of the cold-weather quarterback.
From a numbers perspective, he isn't.
His 19-for-36, 150-yard performance in a 6-degree wind chill at New England showed it, as does his unflattering record. After Denver's 34-31 overtime loss, Manning is now 8-11 when the temperature is 40 or below.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Manning has played only 19 of 255 career games in the cold, including three with the Broncos, during which he's used his new, cold-weather glove.
That small sample size still produces a season's worth of numbers. Manning's passer rating in the cold games: 83.1. His passer rating in all the other games: 97.0. His .421 winning percentage in cold-weather games is .273 lower than in the others.
