Quarterback Peyton Manning says the Denver Broncos need to “get on it.”

The Denver Broncos are currently sitting in second-place in the AFC and would get a first-round bye if the playoffs started today. But they don’t and the Broncos hold on that position isn’t strong, tied with the Chiefs at 7-3 in the division for the moment.

Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning said the team needs to increase their sense of urgency as the season winds down and the playoffs approach.

Just your sense of urgency has to increase,” Manning said, via Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com. “Realizing there aren’t many games left and we better get on it, better get going. Need to play better, I need to play better, . . . You can say all you want, you can talk about doing it, but you’ve got to go and do it.”

Manning added: “I think there is certainly a sense of urgency. We’re not happy about last week’s game [against the Rams] by any means, with the way we played offensively, . . . You can want a lot of things, but you have to go and do it.

“We’re doing everything trying to improve and get better, we’d love nothing more than come out and play better.”

Manning could be right, the Broncos have lost two of their last three and don’t look as invincible as before.
