INDIANAPOLIS -- Peyton Manning clearly proved he was able to come back from the four neck surgeries that kept him out of the 2011 season, leading Denver to a 13-3 record, being named the NFL Comeback Player of the Year, and finishing as the runner-up for the league MVP.The injury question has been answered. Still, Denver coach John Fox is excited that Manning will do something this year that he didn't last year --- have a full offseason."The reality is that it is kind of a nerve situation and it takes a while for nerves to grow," Fox said. "He's getting better every day. I think he'll be, health-wise, even better this year."While Manning should have a productive offseason, that isn't the case with all Denver players.Starting offensive lineman Ryan Clady, Chris Kuper and J.D. Walton will miss all or most of the offseason program. All three should be ready for training camp. Fox said he isn't overly worried about it, because there is depth on the line for the offseason workouts.

Smith ran left, picking up an early crack-back block from receiver Kyle Williams. He found the end zone untouched after Pro Bowl left tackle Joe Staley chopped down Saints safety Isa Abdul-Quddus with a downfield block for the ages.This was no fluke play, either.Smith has netted 207 yards rushing during the regular season and playoffs. He has gained 159 of those yards at home and 27 of those against the Giants in Week 10, Smith's highest single-game total for the regular season.The yardage totals tell only part of the story. Smith has repeatedly made timely runs to sustain scoring drives.A few highlights from the regular season:

He was 12-for-12 in save chances there last season, the fourth-most saves for any pitcher who didn't blow a save at home last season. Bailey has converted 19 straight save chances at home dating back to May of 2010.Bailey had great peripheral numbers at home last season-- a 27-to-3 strikeout-to-walk ratio and did not allow a home run in 24 2/3 innings. Pitching in smaller ballparks on the road, Bailey's numbers weren't as good- he yielded three homers in 17 1/3 innings.One thing that may have appealed to Boston is that in a limited sample, Bailey has pitched well against AL East opponents.
