Peyton Manning's 27 yard bootleg

Is that the longest rush of his career?

[Dpantherman]

They said he had a 31 yarder in 2001

Right, Manning was worried about his legs... what a dumb comment. He went down so they could run the clock out.

Smart play. Go kneel 3 times and don't risk any injury to ST or your D. No surprises

I disagree, he slams the ball down when he's done in disgust. He would have gladly taken the TD. It was a combination of both. He realized they didn't absolutely need a TD, but as a competitor he wanted to run into the end zone and beat a man after having such a lead.

He made the smart decision and of course they'd win the game either way, a TD or 3 kneels. So no need to get hit from behind or diving into the end zone.

He looked like Vick... LOL!

What a great run

this is not entirely true. a TD doesn't end the game - it gives the other team a chance still to score quick (there was a minute and a half left), get an onsides kick and score again. while crazy and unimaginable, kneeling does prevent any chance the Raiders had. Sliding was literally the only thing he could do to guarantee a victory in that scenario... though yes, running for a TD woulda made it virtually impossible for a comeback.
