Manning's magic plagued by picks

The numbers loom large this weekend for Peyton Manning: Three more yards to break Brett Favre's career passing record and one more victory to surpass Favre as the NFL's all-time winningest quarterback.

Here is a more puzzling figure, though: 13. That is how many times the Denver Broncos' typically accurate passer has been picked off this season.

He is on pace to throw 26 interceptions, which would be his highest total since his first year with Indy in 1998 when he threw 28, a record for rookies.
