Wide receiver Demaryius Thomas tied a career high with nine catches and topped the 100-yard mark for the sixth game of the season on Sunday.
10
The Broncos won their 10th straight game to match the second-longest win streak in franchise history with their 34-12 win against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
17.5
Linebacker Von Miller finished Sunday’s win with 1.5 sacks to increase his season total to a Broncos-record 17.5.
18.8%
During the Broncos’ last nine games, opponents have converted just 21-of-112 third-down attempts (18.8 pct.). That figure is best in the NFL with the next closest team, the New York Jets, nearly 10 percentage points behind (31-of-113, 27.4 pct.).
19
Wide receiver Eric Decker caught a pair of touchdowns against Cleveland to give him 11 on the season and 19 over the past two years. That total ties the Broncos’ record for receiving scores in a two-year span. Decker’s 11 touchdowns are tied for third-most in the league this year.
36
Tight end Jacob Tamme’s 36-yard catch in the second quarter and 33-yard catch in the third represent the two longest plays of his career.
39
Tight end Joel Dreessen established a new single-season career high with his 37th catch of the season in Sunday’s win.
72
Quarterback Peyton Manning threw for three scores against the Browns to tie Brett Favre for the most games with at least three touchdown passes in NFL history.
99
Sunday’s win vs. Cleveland marked the 99th overall career win as a head coach for John Fox.
127
Running back Knowshon Moreno finished with 127 yards from scrimmage (78 rushing / 49 receiving), topping the 100-scrimmage-yard mark for the fourth time in his five starts this season.
144
The Broncos have outscored opponents by 144 points in the second half this year to represent the second-highest figure since the 1970 NFL merger, and the best since Green Bay (+170) in 1996. Denver owns a 282-138 advantage in the second half this season.
Amen! We would be happy to give the gift that keeps on giving, the first pick in the draft!
Can we please stop saying “trap game”. This is not the same team as the last six years. Manning and Co. are not getting complacent and are not overlooking opponents. Trap games don’t exist here.
Sure KC will not be easy. They will play like they have nothing to lose. But this Denver team will not be “trapped”. Plus, the playoffs are in the bag so nothing can “trap” us.
I’m not worried, thats for sure. I think we do a number on K.C.
Blog killer lol
I’m extremely confident that we will be in the SB. One week at a time.
With a bye on the line, (and potential #1 overall seed) I’m pretty sure Manning & the Broncos will come out full gallop. Not at all worried they will be overlooking this KC team.
Have a Merry Christmas everybody…
Broncos Country Strong 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!

Getting more recognition!
I think when Elways holds the Lombardi he should say “This one’s for Champ”
709 – you sound like you consider the KC game in the bag!~???…That’s the “trap”!!!
No way. I think this one will be a hard fought battle. I’m just saying this team doesn’t get trapped thinking that any team is a cake walk.
And I want that BYE week, especially the #1 seed. Theres no need to be paralyzed by fear or thinking superstitious. Our Broncos just need to be themselves, play smart, and we’ll go a long way. Confidence breeds confidence!!! The Broncos are acting like they’ve been there before! This team is confident and mature! I’m stoked about where we are headed!! And we’re only going to get better.
How come I feel so nervous?
Only you can answer that DB.
It’s a certain kind of insanity that comes upon me in late Dec…normally culminating premature.
Broncos; ORANGE AND BLUE 2012!!!!!!
Whats to be nervous about?!? A win means a minimum of a second seed with a possibility at the first. Home field advantage and most likely hosting NE.
A loss means nothing less then a third seed but with that comes having to play NE in Foxburro.
Something tells me this team realizes how different those circumstances are and plays accordingly.
Again. not too much to worry about. Just the number 32nd ranked team at home is all that stands between the two scenarios. npd
DB, if you can deal with the daily throws of your large family of everyday living, then this should be a walk in the park for you. LOL
+1 Strand
Right now I have my 95 YO grandmother, my dad, sis from CO, 2 nieces, 2 nephews, a son-in-law plus pregnant daughter, and the normal family of 13 of us here making noise in my house. (That doesn’t make me nervous)
But my expectation is high for the Broncos and I am finding little wiggle room to deal with my emotions if we lose in the playoffs. I think I’ll just cry! LOL
Speaking of +1, what are the Vegas odds in our game?
That goes for me too. LOL
Not sure but I won 25 betting the spread yesterday and everygame gets me closer to my SB payday as long as we keep winning.
Can I just say how annoyed I was when a reporter was interviewing Peyton and said something about us being boring??!! We win games consistently by at least 7 points and we’re boring!!! I don’t think any of this is boring. It’s more like we are just practicing.
Honestly… Please stop putting Seattle in the Super Bowl. They have to play Green Bay IN Green Bay still.
I bet Peyton plays as long as he did this week unless its a huge blow out. He doesn’t think he’s good enough and he wants things to be perfect. He’s not going to rest unless we have a blow out.
Merry Christmas everybody!!!
Im sure PMFM said something like “Yeah, I always get bored winning all the time. That SD win was so much more fun, right?!?”
Cat, I know you’ve figure this out already, reporters are idiots.
I agree that the reporters are idiots – but Manning is boring. If he doesn’t win the SB this boredom isn’t worth it.
Sometimes living in this day and age is just absolutely too cool!!! We just were Skyping with my daughter in Japan. Each of the kids was able to open their gift from her with her watching in real time – for free – amazing! Except that it is Christmas Eve here – and Christmas morning there!!
I too wish all of you a Merry Christmas!!!
Cat – I’m telling you – Seattle will be in the Super Bowl!!! Niners were the 2nd best team in the NFC.
Ok you’re right. I’m bored. Manning having an MVP cailiber season after neck surgery, not knowing if he could every play again, throwing the football with his wife cause at least she wouldn’t judge him…boring.
Von Miller balling out of his mind, sack, tfl, int, ff…boring
Rahim Moore playing like he is a different man…boring
Champ having a shot at the real thing…boring
Decker and Thomas going over 1000…boring
McGahee laying it on the line…boring
Not knowing if Holiday breks one or drops it…boring
Knowshon reserecting his career…boring
Ayers being a beast…boring
Doom and Von helping this team league in sacks…boring
Tight Ends that are in the game plan…boring
Woodyard, Harris and Carter playing like bada$$e$…boring
I must be watching a different team.
It’s only boring if you like drama. If thats your poison, hang out with Rex Ryan or Chad Ochojohson. I’ll take the methodical dedicated winning.
Merry christmas
Anybody watch the Hawai’i Bowl Tonight?
Guys to watch with pro potential…
DE Hunt from SMU!!! BEASTLY BEAST!!! 6’8″ 280, 3 sacks, 2 FF, 3 TFL and a Safety all in the first half!!! He is a JJ Watt type athelete that just starting playing football. He is from Estonia in Eastern Europe and came over as a track guy…. BEASTLY BEAST!!!
Lavonte Adams WR from Fresno… Good size and great Ball skills…
I said Manning was boring – not the Broncos…
His offense is boring…his passes have no drama…and he runs the same plays over and over…15 years worth – ad infinitum… boring…boring…boring!!! LOL
I think we may have the best, most balanced, entertaining NFL defense I’ve ever watched.
Even Decker has made some entertaining catches!
Manning is the epitome of boring!
Did catch part of the game from Hawaii. Can’t get used to the time change in that direction, feels like a rebroadcast from last year. Merry Christmas to All, and goodnight.
6’8″ sounds too tall to be a good DE in the NFL. Hard to get your pad level low.
Ok DB. Thats true. Every play is suppose to look the same at onset. Try this, look at the defensive look and try to see what Manning sees and pick where the ball might go. Trust me, it’s not boring and even though plays look the same at snap, they aren’t. The levels concept is a fun one, or stretching a safety horizontally. It only seems boring cause Manning does it so easily. The man is genius.
Don’t let anyone steal away your joy. Who cares what they think. I don’t! We’re the most exciting team in the NFL!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS To All!
PUM PUM PUM
VERY MERRY ORANGE & BLUE BLUE CHRISTMAS BRONCOS COUNTRY!!!
VON MANNING FOOTBALL 2012!!! SUPERBOWL BOUND BABY!!!

RH… This guy is really something. He played the most dominating half of football by a defensive player that I have ever seen in a bowl game. In the second half they shifted the entire blocking scheme to account for Hunt, and he was still blowing up triple team, Tackle Gaurd and RB. It was impressive
He’s definitely going on my Draft Board
It’s 1:21 am my time and I’m still rappi…wrapping!!! Merry Christmas Bronco Fans!!!
My apologies RH for attempting to get the blog fired up on Christmas Eve. Apparently It didn’t go anywhere anyway. I just don’t have Bay’s skill for this work.
Lol Daddy… Boring?
That’s an interesting word choice for one of the greatest offenses in Broncos history, with a future HOF QB leading the way.
Not to mention, they are only 15 games in and talk about their need to get better on a daily basis.
Will it even be fair to the rest of the NFL when they reach game 30?
Suppose the adage “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”, applies in this instance.
Let’s get Dressen the 1st pass of the game, and then they can go back to their ‘boring’ ways-

Merry Christmas…
Broncos Country Strong 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!
In the Denver Post theres a article that says that Vegas has the Denver Broncos as 3-1 favorites to win the Super Bowl on Feb. 3. Their tops in the NFL now with those odds.
Sounds like a beast BT
The Broncos are favored by 16 against K.C.
Merry Christmas to everyone, with the win at KC and the loss of the Texans to the Colts, we will be resting with the 1st seed
KC will not be a walk at the park, but we can dominate this game at home
is daddybronc a first year bronco fan? cuz obviously he wasnt here last year when tebow was here…mcgahee to the left for 1 yard tebow to the right for no gain tebow pass incomplete on 3rd and 9 then punt…now that was boring… Manning is no where near boring i dont see how the #2 offense in the nfl could be boring…. sounds like ur missing timmy tebow lol
anyways KC will not just lie down this is a division game and alot is on the line im sure KC would love to spoil our first round bye… with that said Manning will have this offense focused and Miller and co will ball out on defense Broncos 38 Chiefs 10
