Peyton Manning Hands Game Ball To Damariyus Thomas

Peyton Manning is a class act on and off the field. At the end of Sunday's playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Manning handed the ball to his teammate Damariyus Thomas and told him to give the ball to his mother.

Thomas' mother, Katina Smith, never got to see her son play football in person because she has been incarcerated for much of her son's life. Katina was recently pardoned by President Obama and released from prison.

Still, for much of the regular season, Damariyus' mother was not allowed to travel because of restrictions. However, yesterday she finally saw her son play in a football game. And what a game it was as the Broncos defeated the Steelers in a Divisional Playoff game.

What a class act by Manning. It was a day most will never forget.
