The Denver Broncos have benched Peyton Manning, who has thrown four interceptions against the Kansas City Chiefs defense so far. The score is currently 22-0 in favor of Kansas City so the game is clearly in the Chiefs favor but it's still a surprise to see the Broncos actually make this move.
I've been watching Peyton Manning since 1998 and I haven't seen him play this poorly. He looks so bad. I don't mean that as an insult but more of a shocking revelation for me. He just hasn't had these lows before.
Here's how everyone reacted when Peyton was benched:
A loud ovation for Brock Osweiler as he strides to the huddle after getting some last-minute instruction.

Here comes Brock Osweiler, everybody. Peyton Manning is about to be benched on the day he became the most prolific passer in @NFL history.

"BROCK OSWEILER LEADS BRONCOS COMEBACK" is still a headline I'm afraid to read tomorrow.

Why is there a backup quarterback in this Papa John's commercial?

And it's happening against the Chiefs. Never thought I'd see the day

They did it. Wow.

Did we just retire Peyton Manning?

Peyton Manning just got benched on the day he broke the all-time passing yard record.

I never thought I'd live to see the day when Peyton Manning was cut. I've now lived to also see him be benched. #speechless
