Peyton Manning Undergoes Surgery

Manning underwent surgery to alleviate pain from a pinched nerve that's been bothering the Colts QB for years.

"This condition has existed intermittently for the past four years, but at no time did it interfere with his training, practice or playing regimen," the Colts said. "While it never has affected Peyton's activity on or off the field, the Colts' medical staff, after post-playoff examination, thought it best to resolve the situation now."

Manning has a streak of 210 starts, second only to Brett Favre. The Colts have also made the playoffs eight straight years and racked up seven straight 12-win seasons (an NFL record).
