When Peyton Manning returned from multiple neck surgeries this season, we didn't know what to expect from the All Pro signal caller. It's been a mixed bag so far in 2012.
Manning has looked like his old self at times this season. He had great games against Pittsburgh and Oakland, picking back up where he left off with his no huddle, high-speed offense.
Manning has also struggled in two games this season, though they happened to be against two of the remaining undefeated teams — Atlanta and Houston. Manning threw three interceptions against the Falcons and completed just 50-percent of his passes against the Texans.
Manning currently ranks 10th in the NFL with a 96.9 passer rating, sixth in yards with 1,162 and 4th in passing touchdowns with eight. His three interceptions against Houston were his only picks of the year.
Manning comes to Foxboro this weekend to try his hand against the young Patriots defense. Whether we see the good or bad version of the former Colt may depend on the play of Devin McCourty and the rest of the Patriots secondary.
