Peyton Manning Fans Tweet Doubters to Suck It After Beating Packers: The Top 20

Last week, I purchased some Broncos socks at a store in San Diego — a purchase that caused the Chargers-fan clerk to go into conniptions about his own team's woes and Denver's 6-0 record. And I'm ashamed to admit that to make him feel better, I predicted that the unbeaten...

Last week, I purchased some Broncos socks at a store in San Diego — a purchase that caused the Chargers-fan clerk to go into conniptions about his own team's woes and Denver's 6-0 record. And I'm ashamed to admit that to make him feel better, I predicted that the Broncos' unbeaten streak would end the following Sunday night against the Green Bay Packers.

Never have I been happier to be wrong.

The Broncos' defense shut down Pack QB Aaron Rodgers — something no other squad has been able to manage this season. And even better, Peyton Manning, who had been fighting what appeared to be a losing battle against Father Time in recent weeks, suddenly regained much of his old form, passing for more than 300 yards en route to Denver's 29-10 victory.

Petyon fans on Twitter quickly responded by dissing doubters in graphic ways, sometimes with GIF or video accompaniment. The result may be our first top tweets collection to be NSFW.

See what we mean by counting down the most memorable posts, illustrated with images from the game.
