Peyton Manning isn't used to early exits.

The Indianapolis Colts lost to the New York Jets 17-16 in an AFC Wild Card game on Saturday. Despite the first round loss, Manning still finished with another incredible season as he completed 66 percent of his passes for a career-high 4,700 yards and 33 touchdowns.

Look at his games, and he still seems to be in his prime, but look at the big picture and you'll see the clock is ticking.

Here are 10 reasons why Manning's career could be headed downhill:
