ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning insisted Wednesday he's not a different player in wintry weather despite a track record that seems to show otherwise.

Asked whether he thinks he's a different player in cold weather, Manning simply said, "I don't."

Asked why he thought he wasn't a different quarterback in cold weather, he added only, "That's not how I feel, so ... did I miss the question?"

Manning is 3-7 in the regular season and postseason combined when the game-time temperature is 32 degrees or colder, according to ESPN Stats & Information.

He's thrown for 11 touchdown passes and 12 interceptions in those games and his completion percentage is 59.4 percent, well below his career average of 65.4. His 214.1 passing yards per game in those 10 outings are also well below his career average of 269.5.

Coach John Fox also doesn't buy the notion that Manning is a different player in the cold, saying that 10 games is not a sufficient sample size for a player in his 16th season.

Offensive coordinator Adam Gase gave an impassioned defense of Manning on Thursday when asked if the he believes the quarterback gets a bad rap about his play in the cold weather.

"I've only been around him two years, but the thing that pisses me off more than anything is I don't want anybody else as my quarterback,'' Gase said. "I'm going to go in with him every Sunday. It's a great feeling to have when you've got him back there, you know your chances of winning are pretty good. When you don't have a guy like that, and I've been in that spot a lot, and that sucks. So I'll take [Manning] any day of the week.''

Manning has made one visible concession to cold or inclement weather with the Broncos since returning from multiple neck surgeries. He now wears a fitted glove on his throwing hand in rain or cold and snow. He wore gloves on both hands in New England when he threw for 150 yards, and a glove on his throwing hand this past weekend in Kansas City when he finished with 403 yards and five touchdowns.

"It's just part of the adjustment I've kind of had to make," Manning said. "I've said that I've had to make a lot of changes at this point in my career. I'm kind of coming off an injury and different team. It's just been part of the adjustment ... and still working through it kind of each time that I wear it."

Manning experimented with gloves previously in his career, including during his time with Indianapolis, but said he "never just quite found a pair that I liked."

With the Broncos, Manning's overall sample size is 28 regular-season games and a postseason loss to Baltimore. He is 23-6 as a starter in those games with 80 touchdown passes and has averaged more than 300 yards per game.
