DENVER — The Broncos suffered their second loss of the season in gruesome fashion, with quarterback Peyton Manning setting the record for most passing yards in NFL history then getting benched two quarters later in a 29-13 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Fans have been calling for Manning to be benched for a few weeks because of his dreadful play, and their wishes were finally granted midway through the third quarter.Manning finished 5 of 20 for 35 yards with four interceptions and finished with a 0.0 quarterback rating, a low in his career.
Fans took to Twitter during the game calling for Manning’s benching, then had several reactions when it happened.

Manning benched mid 3rd quarter… that's what happens when you only have 35 yards passing with 4 interceptions
