The Broncos locked up the No. 1 seed in the AFC with a 38-3 win against the Chiefs at Sports Authority Field at Mile High on Sunday.

The victory guarantees them a first-round playoff bye and homefield advantage throughout the playoffs.

Quarterback Peyton Manning led the way with 304 passing yards on 23-of-29 passing with three touchdowns and a quarterback rating of 144.8. He set multiple franchise records with his 2012 numbers.

Wide receivers Eric Decker and Demaryius Thomas each made highlight-reel touchdown catches. Decker finished with seven catches for 76 yards and two touchdowns while Thomas finished with seven catches for 122 yards and one touchdown.

Denver’s rushing attack was led by a committee of Knowshon Moreno, Lance Ball and Jacob Hester. Ball and Moreno accumulated 15 carries each and Hester finished with seven rushes for a career-high 53 yards. The Broncos finished with 170 yards rushing.

The defense, meanwhile, held Jamaal Charles and the Kansas City Chiefs to just 93 total rushing yards.

It sacked Chiefs quarterback Brady Quinn four times and allowed their offense to gain only 26 yards through the air.

Safety Rahim Moore and linebacker Keith Brooking each made their first sack of the season on Sunday.

The Broncos finish with a record of 13-3, tied for the best record in the NFL. They will take the field two weeks from now at Sports Authority Field at Mile High in the Divisional Round.

A three-and-out that featured linebacker Keith Brooking’s first sack since 2010 helped set up the Denver offense for its fifth touchdown drive of the game.

An 8-yard completion to tight end Virgil Green and a 9-yard completion to wideout Eric Decker helped get Denver moving.

A 15-yard defensive pass intereference call on a pass intended for tight end Jacob Tamme put Denver across midfield to the Denver 41-yard line.

A play later, Manning faked a handoff from the shotgun formation and lofted one for wideout Demaryius Thomas, who made a striding, over-the-shoulder catch to the K.C. 3-yard line.

Running back Lance Ball finished the drive off with a 3-yard touchdown run, his first of the season and second of his career.

After the score, Denver leads 35-3 with 1:04 remaining in the third quarter.

On the drive, Manning topped the 300-yard mark for the 72nd time of his career, extending an NFL record he already owns. It is the ninth time this season that Manning has topped that mark, which ties a career-best. In the game, Manning is 23-of-29 for 304 yards and three touchdowns, good for a passer rating of 144.8.

Thomas passed 100 yards receiving on the drive for the ninth time of his career and eighth time in the regular season. He has done so seven times in the 2012 season. It is the second straight week Thomas as topped 100 yards, as he has piled up seven catches on 122 yards in the game – the sixth-highest receiving yards total of his career.

The Broncos began the second half with the ball looking to increase their 18-point lead. 80 yards and nearly six minutes later, Denver accomplished that goal with a remarkable Demaryius Thomas touchdown catch.

Running back Knowshon Moreno ran the ball on the first two plays of the drive and gained 12 yards.

Running back Lance Ball took it on the next two plays, gaining 6 yards and then breaking free for a 22-yarder.

In Chiefs territory, quarterback Peyton Manning connected with Thomas for the fourth time of the game, this time gaining 9 yards to the Kansas City 31-yard line.

The next pass was also to Thomas, picking up 11 to the K.C. 16.

Two plays later, Denver faced a third-and-7. Manning lofted one towards Thomas in the back of the end zone. Thomas leaped in the air and made a high-flying, one-handed touchdown snatch.

The score put Denver up 28-3 early in the third quarter. It also moved Manning past Brett Favre with his 73rd career game with three touchdown passes or more.

Thomas now has a game-high six catches for 86 yards and a touchdown after hauling in three passes on the drive.

Manning is 20-of-25 for 251 yards, three touchdowns and a passer rating of 148.1 to this point.
