Denver wasted no time answering the Steelers’ field goal drive. After a 9-yard completion from quarterback Peyton Manning to wide receiver Eric Decker, Manning threw short to wide receiver Demaryius Thomas, who outran the Steelers defense for the 71-yard touchdown. Big downfield blocks by tight end Jacob Tamme, guard Zane Beadles and wide receiver Matthew Wilis sprung the speedy Thomas.
With that throw, Manning joined Brett Favre and Dan Marino as the only passers in NFL history to throw 400 touchdown passes.
By reaching the milestone in his 209th career game, Manning becomes the quickest to get to 400 by 18 games, as both Favre and Marino threw TD No. 400 in the 227th game of their careers.
Thomas now has four catches for 102 yards, giving him three career regular-season games with more than 100 yards receiving. He also topped the 100-yard mark in last year’s AFC Wild Card win over the Steelers, finishing with four catches for 204 yards.
rahim moore is a friggin idiot.
as hard as it is to get big ben off the field, we finally do and he screws it up with a stupid, dumb, bone headed, retarted helmet to helmet hit.
our d is not looking so promising. i’ve never seen a teams defense actually look like they dont want to come off the field. chance after chance after chance to end these drives and they cant get it done. really annoying to watch.
Time of Possession? :36 seconds coud be a record for a team in a quarter, and for sure it’s a record to have outscored your opponent!
Lou, that wasn’t a bad play by Moore, he was even leading with his shoulder… Sanders ducked his head, but the Bone-Head play Moore made was missing the pick on First down
We look a little sloppier than I hoped, but I’m still loving watching Broncos Football! Happy 4th Quarter!!!
Uggh….
Lou, did you try the live blog? I couldn’t see the conversation box, and obviously how I ended up here… did you have the same trouble?
