The Manning Broncos meme, universally known as 'Manning Face,' originated from a 2013 photograph of Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning wearing a thermal mask during a cold practice. The image features a tight, low-resolution zoom of Manning's face, looking slightly bewildered. It skyrocketed to fame on Reddit's r/nfl community as a legendary bait-and-switch link, where users would trick others into clicking the image instead of actual news. It remains one of the most enduring 'troll' images in sports history, symbolizing the hilarious side of NFL fandom.
