The celebrations won't end here for Ball - he indicated he'll be attending the National Championship Game between Wisconsin and Duke on Monday.
I'll be at the game.

Of course, he might run into teammate and Duke alum, Juwan Thompson.
I know where I'm going Monday

After the Broncos changed the emphasis of their offense in Week 12 to increase the focus on the running game, Manning had an 89.5 quarterback rating from that point until the end of the postseason. In four of the seven games in that span, Manning played hurt or ill. Among the 36 quarterbacks to throw at least 50 passes from Week 12 onward, Manning's rating was higher than 20 and lower than 15. The two quarterbacks closest to Manning's rating were Tom Brady (one-tenth of a point better) and Andrew Luck (three-tenths of a point better).
