Peyton Manning's Broncos Jersey Tops Sales For Fanatics

Sales figures from the first week of the NFL season on various sites administered by licensed sports e-tailer Fanatics.com point to one inescapable conclusion: Broncos QB Peyton Manning still moves product even after more than a year on the sideline due to injury. Figures from sites including Fanatics.com, football.fanatics.com and others -- but not including NFL.com, which Fanatics also services -- from last Tuesday through the two "MNF" games show Manning’s Broncos with a 131% increase in merchandise sales from the prior week. That was enough to lift the Broncos to No. 4 in overall team sales, behind the Cowboys, Steelers and 49ers. Manning was also the top-selling player, with a 42% increase from the prior week.
