What's to be upset about after the Broncos' 35-21 win for Peyton Manning? He added to his NFL record touchdown total and won the game with ease, moving to 6-1, the best record in the AFC.

Despite all of that good news, Manning is upset, and the target isn't a running back or a receiver with butterfingers. Nope, we're looking at you, scoreboard operator.

Manning was annoyed that fans were being driven to cheer when the Broncos had the ball, creating noise and making it difficult for the quarterback to communicate. (This is Day One stuff, people.) He also didn't think some of the shots of the Broncos players dancing on the sideline, or those of opposing QB Philip Rivers, were appropriate.

It wasn't quite a "DAMMIT DONALD!" moment, but we feel for this scoreboard operator today.
