Misses in snow McManus made his only field-goal attempt but missed one of his two extra-point tries in Sunday's 43-16 loss to the Chiefs.
Impact McManus faced snowy conditions, somewhat excusing his missed PAT, which was also his first miss this season. Through six games, McManus now sports 48 points.

Nails six field goals McManus converted field goals of 45, 44, 27, 52, 20, and 54 yards during Sunday's 18-12 win over the Patriots.
Impact Kudos to you if you started McManus on Sunday, as the Temple product set a franchise record with six field goals while serving as the entirety of the Broncos' scoring offense. He's converted 11 consecutive field-goal attempts, including five from 50 yards or further. McManus is tied for the league lead with nine conversions from 40 yards out out.

Accounts for 13 points McManus converted field goals of 40, 54 and 53 yards during Thursday's 37-28 win over the Jets. He added four point-after conversions.
Impact First-time starter Brett Rypien didn't do McManus many favors in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter. With the Broncos down by one, Rypien took a 10-yard grounding penalty on third down, forcing McManus to try from 53 yards out. He nailed it for his second field goal of 50 or more yards of the quarter. The Temple product is on pace to tie his career-best field-goal percentage for a season (85.7% in 2015) and shatter his career mark for conversions of 40 yards or more (14 in 2018).

Nails 56-yarder McManus converted an extra-point and a 56-yard field goal during Sunday's 28-10 loss to Tampa Bay.
Impact McManus' 56-yarder was his longest field goal since Week 1 of the 2015 season. McManus has held value in recent seasons as he's on a team that has had enough offense to get into field-goal range, but not enough to get into the end zone. History is repeating itself as, with Drew Lock (shoulder) out for at least another game or two, the Broncos have a more question marks on offense than answers. Expect that to continue Thursday against the Jets with Brett Rypien or Jeff Driskel leading the offense.

Boots two field goals McManus converted two of three field goals -- from 49 and 27 yards out -- and made an extra-point during Sunday's 26-21 loss in Pittsburgh. He missed a 58-yard attempt.
Impact McManus attempted his first three field-goal tries of the season after signing his megadeal to remain in Denver just prior to the start of the season. No one will begrudge McManus for missing a 58-yarder in a very difficult stadium in which to kick, but how McManus performs with longer kicks bears watching. He's been nearly automatic from inside 50 yards since the start of 2018, converting 47 of his 49 attempts. Despite a huge leg, however, he's just six for 15 from 50 and out.

Sinks two PATs in opener McManus didn't attempt a field goal in Monday's 16-14 loss to the TItans but made both of his PAT attempts.
Impact McManus didn't get many opportunities, as the Denver offense often failed to move the ball and got into the end zone both times that it got rolling. With a road date against the stingy Steelers defense on tap in Week 2, McManus' kicking opportunities will likely remain limited.
