I think its a tribute to the kind of toughness Peyton has and the kind of competitor he is that he got up and did a tremendous job in those conditions.Osweiler was warming up and all of a sudden I heard this loud cheer and I didnt even need to turn around. I knew exactly what it was.Manning was back in time for Denvers first possession of the third quarter.

Friday, the team made sure one of their top defensive players didnt join that market. The Jaguars signed defensive tackle SenDerrick Marks to a 4-year contract extension worth a reported $22 million. Marks had signed a one-year deal with the team last spring after spending his four seasons with the Tennessee Titans. He would have become a free agent Monday had he not signed an extension Friday. Jacksonville general manager Dave Caldwell said Marks and the Jaguars were a good fit and that there were reasons to get the deal done before the end of the season. "The player wanted to be here; two, we wanted him here; and three, we were able to do it before the season ended and put some of the money into this years salary cap," Caldwell said. Marks has been one of the few bright spots for a defence that has strugggled this year.ddddddddddddHe has started all 15 games and has 28 tackles, seven pass breakups and four sacks. He has played in 84 per cent of the teams defensive plays this season. Marks said he was surprised that the deal was finalized before the end of the season. "Its very cool. I didnt expect it," he said. "I thought it was going to go all the way until the off-season, but I was never worried about what would happen. "My job is to go out and continue to play. We still have a game left, so I didnt even think about it." Jaguars coach Gus Bradley said the signing of Marks was an indication of the direction the team is going. "Its all about the direction we want to go to get key people like SenDerrick," Bradley said. "Hes done a great job; great job competing, great job leading with our younger guys in the meeting room every day. We knew SenDerrick really wanted to be here and to get it accomplished at this time is awesome." ' ' '
