Honestly, I don't think Peyton really choked - it was a team effort. The +4 turnover margin killed them. Yes, Peyton threw two picks, but at least one of them was deflected and led to an easy interception. I can hardly fault him for that one. 280 yards passing against the number one defense is not something to be ashamed of.
If anything, the loss was a result of relying too much on Manning's passing ability.
