Peyton Manning has been announced as the Denver Broncos' starter for the playoffs.

Manning's foot was okay after Sunday's Week 17 game.

Manning struggled before he was benched in favor of Brock Osweiler. For the season, Manning had just nine touchdowns against 17 interceptions and a passer rating of 67.9.

The NFL is investigating a story tying Manning to an HGH shipment in 2011.
