ENGLEWOOD, Colo. Alex Cobb Jersey . - The longer Peyton Manning talked about his former team, the hotter he became. He wasnt mad. Just cold. The Denver Broncos quarterback rarely took his reddened hands out of the pouch around his waist Wednesday following a two-hour practice in 16-degree, windy weather. After nine minutes of chatting about a showdown with Indianapolis in an AFC divisional playoff game Sunday, he went inside to get warm, softly muttering, Its cold out here, huh? Mannings numbers tend to dip when the thermometer does. Hes 12-13 in his career when the temperature is 40 degrees or below, according to STATS. This should warm up Manning and Broncos fans, however: Forecasters are calling for a warm-up this week and balmy conditions are expected on game day, with the high in the 40s, maybe a cool breeze and no precipitation. Peyton is going to go out there and play well, declared running back C.J. Anderson. But it takes a team and we have to help him. Even if a cold front were to suddenly descend upon the city — this is Denver, after all — the Broncos are built for harsher conditions these days. They no longer rely so heavily on Mannings right arm but on a revamped running game and a dominant defence that features five Pro Bowlers and a couple of notable snubs. Weve played in about every scenario that I can think of in my three years here, tight end Jacob Tamme said. Weve had the unbelievably cold and the absolutely beautiful. We have a team built that can win in any conditions. And thats what you need right now. Although Mannings record is sub-.500 in chilly conditions, his overall numbers really arent that ghastly. Hes thrown 43 touchdown passes and 27 interceptions while completing 62.6 per cent of his passes, according to STATS. His completion percentage since joining the Broncos in 2012 is 67.7. When the wind picks up, though, Mannings numbers dont exactly soar. Hes 3-6 with gusts of 20 mph or more and has thrown 11 interceptions and just seven TD passes. His completion percentage is 58.5 per cent. But its not supposed to be that windy Sunday against the Colts. Kyle Fredin, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said the latest forecast models have the wind blowing in the 10-to-15 mph range. If that is indeed the case, Manning is 10-11 when the winds are 15 mph or more, with 29 TD passes and 23 interceptions. I think we can win this year in any conditions, Tamme said. Since a Nov. 16 loss in St. Louis when Manning threw the ball 54 times, the Broncos have worked on being more balanced. Theyve run the ball 186 times over the last six games and attempted 194 passes. I feel pretty good physically, Manning reiterated Wednesday. Like all players, Ive battled through some injuries. I think the bye week came at a good time for us to give some guys a chance to get healthy. Weve tried to find different ways to win football games and hopefully that prepares us well when you get into these playoff games and anything can go on. Different games take on different identities. You never know what its going to be but I think weve proven we can win games differently and hopefully that serves us well potentially on Sunday. Manning also has a stalwart defence to help out, which features Pro Bowlers Chris Harris Jr., Von Miller, Aqib Talib, T.J. Ward and DeMarcus Ware. Defensive lineman Terrance Knighton and linebacker Brandon Marshall also played at a Pro Bowl level but werent named to the squad. The Colts are a big-time team, too, and its always hard to beat a team twice, said Miller, whose squad knocked off the Colts 31-24 at home in the opening game of the season. Weve got to take advantage of the opportunity now, and thats where everybodys mindset is at. After all, at 38, Manning is trying to supplant his boss, John Elway, as the oldest QB to win a Super Bowl. I think our team has played with a sense of urgency all season, to tell you the truth, Manning said. That is what were going to have on Sunday because its helped us win a lot of games this year. Kevin Kiermaier Jersey . Greece was on the wrong end of a 3-0 rout to Colombia in its first game of the tournament. They surrendered a goal in just the sixth minute of the contest, and despite some promising attacking play, failed to crawl back into the match. Japan, on the other hand, struck first in its match with Ivory Coast, with Keisuke Honda putting his side into the lead in the 16th minute. Joe Maddon Jersey . -- The Minnesota Vikings have signed Jerome Simpson, the former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver recently convicted on a felony drug charge.MILAN, Italy -- AC Milan midfielder Kaka officially left the Serie A club on Monday to join Orlando City Soccer Club. A statement on the Milan website said it had come to a "mutual agreement (with Kaka) to end the Brazil stars contract but there is no doubt that the mutual feeling of love and respect will always be there." Kaka flew to the United States on Monday night to sign with his new club. Upon arriving at the terminal at Orlandos airport, he was greeted by about 200 Orlando City fans who pounded drums, and mobbed him for pictures and autographs. He will be formally introduced by the team on Tuesday afternoon. The 32-year-old player is expected to return on loan to his first club, Sao Paulo, before joining Orlando City SC in January 2015 for its first MLS season. Kaka scored 104 goals in 307 appearances during his two spells at Milan, interrupted by a four-year stint at Real Madrid. Kaka, the World Player of the Year in 2007, helped Milan to the Champions league title and Serie A success before joining Real Madrid in 2009. He also helped Brazil win the World Cup in 2002. "I will always be a Milan fan, my heartfelt thanks to everyone," Kaka said. "I hope to send soon messages to (Milan vice-president Adriano) Galliani that I have sent in the past: we are the champions of Italy, we are the champions of Europe. "It has been a difficult year for all Milan fans, but for me to come back to Milan, to reach the total of more than 100 goals was important: it was something that I couldnt not do, to extend my history with this club. Kevin Jepsen Jersey. " Kaka will fly to the United States from Brazil on Monday night to sign for Orlandos new Major League Soccer franchise. Kaka will return on loan to his first club, Sao Paulo, before joining Orlando City SC in January 2015 prior to its first MLS season. Kaka, who was named World Player of the Year in 2007, helped Milan to the Champions league title and Serie A success in his first six-year spell at the club before joining Real Madrid in 2009. His return to the club was less successful and was blighted by an immediate injury layoff, during which he renounced his salary. Milan finished eighth, failing to qualify for Europe for the first time in 16 years. "My choice isnt linked to the fact Milan isnt playing in the Champions League, its something else," Kaka said. "I wont anymore wear the number 22, I want to also leave this symbol to the Milan fans. I think I will wear the number eight in Brazil and the 10 in America. "I took this holiday to think about things, I always said I wanted to play in America one day and now I have reached an agreement to play there. Now I will go on loan to Sao Paolo and then I will start my adventure in America."
