The Carolina Panthers scored the first points of the game on Sunday afternoon, but after that, it was all Broncos. Denver scored the next 29 points and finished with a 36-14 victory at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, improving to a 6-3 record.

Each unit for the Broncos – the offense, the defense and special teams – scored a touchdown in the first three quarters.

After Carolina jumped out to a 7-0 lead, Denver responded with a touchdown of its own as quarterback Peyton Manning connected with wide receiver Brandon Stokley for a 10-yard touchdown.

A few minutes later, wide receiver Trindon Holliday scored on a 76-yard punt return touchdown, his second return for a touchdown in as many games.

Early in the third quarter, cornerback Tony Carter scored his second defensive touchdown of the year as he intercepted Panthers quarterback Cam Newton and returned it 40 yards for a touchdown. That gave the Broncos a 24-7 lead, but the defense wasn’t finished.

In the fourth quarter, safety Mike Adams sacked Newton in the end zone for a safety, increasing the Denver lead to 29-7.
Rookie running back Ronnie Hillman capped it off for the Broncos with his first career touchdown on a 5-yard rush.

The defense sacked Newton a season-high seven times. Defensive tackle Kevin Vickerson led the way with two sacks and linebacker Von Miller recorded six tackles, including his 10th sack of the year and a forced fumble.

Manning finished with 27-of-38 passing, 301 yards and a touchdown. Wide receiver Demaryius Thomas led the way offensively with nine catches for a game-high 135 yards.

Denver added one more touchdown for good measure on a drive that took just four plays. The Broncos got into the end zone on the first touchdown of rookie running back Ronnie Hillman’s career, a five-yard run along the left sideline that made it 36-14.

The drive also marked milestones for both quarterback Peyton Manning and wide receiver Demaryius Thomas, as Manning has once again topped 300 yards passing and Thomas has gone over 100 yards receiving.

For Manning, it’s the 77th of his career, including postseason, and the sixth 300-yard passing game of the season, with all of those coming in the last seven games. In his career, Manning’s teams are 46-30 when he goes over 300 yards. Earlier in the game, he tied Dan Marino for second all-time in career touchdown passes with 420.

Thomas now has five games in 2012 with at least 100 yards receiving and eight for his career.

The Panthers trimmed the Denver lead to 27-14 with a 10-play, 77-yard drive.

Taking over at its own 23-yard line, Carolina mounted a scoring drive that started with a 9-yard run by running back Jonathan Stewart. The Panthers moved into Denver territory on back-to-back completions of 13 and 8 yards from quarterback Cam Newton to tight end Greg Olsen. Two plays later, Newton found Olsen once again, this time for a gain of 18.

The Panthers moved inside the Denver red zone on a 9-yard completion to wide receiver Armanti Edwards that was followed by a 3-yard run by fullback Mike Tolbert.

The drive culminated in a 5-yard scoring strike from Newton to Olsen that made it 27-14 with 5:09 to play.

Back-to-back sacks have helped the Broncos score on defense or special teams for the third time this afternoon.

After defensive end Robert Ayers sacked quarterback Cam Newton on the Panthers’ 2-yard line, Carolina faced 3rd-and-19 from the shadow of their own goal line.

Safety Mike Adams was one of several defenders who penetrated the Carolina offensive line, and Adams wrapped up Newton for his first career safety, giving the Broncos their second of the season.

The sack is the fifth of Adams career and the first for the safety since 2010.

The sack also marks the seventh of the afternoon for Denver, the most the team has recorded in a single game since the 2003 season.
