Peyton Manning and the football part ways

The Denver Broncos are struggling with the Washington Redskins, being tied 7-7 before Peyton Manning's hilarious fumble here. The football apparently didn't like this turn of events, and decided to just leave the game on its own.

Just to rub it in, Manning got called for holding on the same play.

Shortly after this play, Manning threw a pick-six and the Redskins went up, 21-7. Clearly he did something to anger the football's parents.
