“A excessive mix of run and pass and these guys have a great understanding of what our offense is,’’ Manning said of the workers he’s receiving. “If we can get that run game going like we did in the second half, that opens up a lot of windows.’’

Manning punctuated his best pro pep up by throwing for three touchdowns and scrambling for a 14-yard gain that woke up New York’s offense in its first postseason mastery since its Super Bowl upset of undefeated New England four years ago. Next up is as big a provocation: the defending champion Packers (15-1), who won here, 38-35, in December.
“We differentiate they are a good team,’’ Manning said. “We played them manly here, did some good things here, we scored some points. We know offensively we are usual to have to play strong, score some points.
