What now for Peyton Manning?

Track record of quarterbacks coming off big games

You have to go back pre-merger to find a quarterback who threw 7 TDs, but 37 times in the last 10 years a quarterback has thrown 5 or 6 TDs, then come back again to start the next regular-season game. Here's how they've done.

Only 11 of these 37 guys threw 3-plus TDs again the next week.

17 of them, surprisingly, threw either no touchdowns or just 1.

On average, these quarterbacks threw 1.95 TDs and 1 interception while averaging 287 passing yards.

List does not include guys who didn't play the next week. Aaron Rodgers had a game with 5-TDs near the end of the 2011 season but sat out Week 17; he's not listed. Nor is Matt Flynn, who then threw 6 TDs in that Week 17 game but hasn't started a game since.

Kelly Holcomb had a 5-TD game for the Browns but got hurt and couldn't play the next week.
