Denver’s Manning wins fifth MVP

NEW YORK - Peyton Manning’s record-setting season earned him his fifth Associated Press NFL MVP award Saturday night in a landslide.

No other player has won more than three.

Denver’s record-setting quarterback, who threw for 55 touchdowns and 5,477 yards in leading the Broncos to the AFC’s best record, earned 49 votes from a nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the league. New England quarterback Tom Brady got the other vote.

Manning won his other MVPs with Indianapolis in 2003, 2004, 2008 and 2009. He also was the runner-up last season to Adrian Peterson.
