Denver's Peyton Manning will start Sunday after an MRI didn't reveal any new damage to his
already battered right ankle. Interim coach Jack Del Rio, filling in for John Fox, who underwent a recent heart procedure, said Manning will practice this week and he would be surprised if Manning showed any signs of the injury heading into Sunday night's prime time home clash with the unbeaten 9-0 Kansas City Chiefs, the league's only remaining unbeaten team, under first-year head coach Andy Reid.
Manning is having a career year, leading the Broncos to an 8-1 record. Manning has passed for a league-high 3,249 yards with 33 touchdowns and just six interceptions. Manning has connected on 262-of-369 attempts, hitting on 71 percent of his passes. Manning's quarterback rating is 121.0.
New Orleans Saints' QB Drew Brees is second to Manning entering week 10 of the season. Brees has thrown for 3,064 yards with 25 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Brees has clicked on 247-of-363 attempts, hitting on 68 percent of his attempts with a 108.9 QB rating.
The 7-2 Saints enter a tough part of their schedule and host the San Francisco 49ers at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome Sunday with the kickoff set for 3:25.
