HOUSTON - Peyton Manning had to prepare for a 2-point conversion and couldnt
celebrate when he set the NFL record for touchdown passes in a season in 2004.
www.cheapjerseyswholesale.top . On Sunday,
when Denvers quarterback regained the record against the Houston Texans, he was
able to soak in the historic moment. "It was very special," he said. "Very
rarely during an NFL game do you get to have a moment like that." Manning
regained his record with 51 when he threw for 400 yards and four touchdowns,
including three in the fourth quarter to give Denver its third straight AFC West
title. He surpassed the 50 TD passes Tom Brady threw in 2007 and led the Broncos
(12-3) to a 37-13 win over the Texans (2-13) that extended Houstons
franchise-record skid to 13 games. Manning did it on a 25-yard pass to
Julius Thomas with 4:28 remaining. Just 2 1/2 minutes earlier, he tied the mark
with a 20-yard pass to Eric Decker. Manning figures Brady will overtake him
again one day, especially if the NFL moves to an 18-game regular season. "I
think its a unique thing and a neat thing to be a part of NFL history, even
though it may be temporary," he said. "So Im going to enjoy it as long as it
lasts, and hopefully the Hall of Fame will send the ball back once somebody
throws for more." He entered the game with 47 and his first touchdown came on a
36-yard pass to Demaryius Thomas in the second quarter. The second was a 10-yard
throw to Decker earlier in the fourth period. The Broncos already had a spot in
the playoffs, but their victory, combined with Kansas Citys loss to
Indianapolis, gave them the division crown. "This only means something because
it helped our team win games and we won the division today in a competitive AFC
West," Manning said. "Thats a good thing." Manning had previously established
the record by throwing 49 touchdown passes in 2004. He has a career-high 5,211
yards passing this season, which is third in NFL history and 265 yards shy of
the 5,476 yards Drew Brees gained in 2011. "The guy is a great quarterback,
obviously," Houston interim coach Wade Phillips said. "The last one, I was
surprised that they threw it deep late in the game, but thats part of football."
Matt Schaub started for the first time since Oct. 13 in place of an injured
Case Keenum. He finished with 176 yards and one touchdown with two interceptions
for the Texans. The Broncos couldnt do anything offensively in the third
quarter, gaining just 38 yards, and had to punt on each of their four
possessions. Their defence helped them out after that, with Mike Adams
intercepting Schaub at the Houston 28. Manning wasted no time making Houston
pay, and found Decker two plays later for the touchdown that extended the lead
to 23-13. "I thought the turning point was the Mike Adams interception," Denver
coach John Fox said. It was all Broncos after that, with Manning grabbing the
record with two more touchdown passes. Manning made the record-setting throw to
Julius Thomas and walked toward the end zone, where his teammates patted him on
the head. He then took off his helmet and walking to the sideline and pumped his
fist once. His teammates came out to greet him and he gave dozens of high-fives
as he grinned and walked to the bench. Decker picked up the ball after Thomas
dropped it after the touchdown and tucked it in the side of his jersey, where it
remained as he walked off the field. Manning laughed when asked about Thomas not
holding onto the ball after the score. "It wouldnt have surprised me if Julius
would have went and handed it to some babe up in the stands, trying to get her
phone number in exchange for the ball," he joked. "That would be right up Julius
alley." Thomas didnt realize his reception set the record when he caught it. "I
came back to the sidelines and Im sitting down on the bench and somebody said:
That was the one," he said. "Maybe I shouldnt have dropped it so carelessly, I
should have kept it." Decker led the Broncos with 10 receptions for 131 yards,
and Demaryius Thomas had eight catches for 123 yards. Wes Welker missed his
second straight game after sustaining his second concussion in four weeks on
Dec. 8. Schaub found Keshawn Martin on a 15-yard touchdown pass to get Houston
within 16-13 early in the third quarter. Andre Johnson finished with four
catches for 63 yards. He has 103 catches this season to reach 100 for the fifth
time in his career, tying an NFL record for most seasons with at least that many
receptions. Johnson entered the game needing one catch to reach the mark held by
Welker. He did it on a 33-yard reception in the first quarter. Mannings TD pass
to Demaryius Thomas on the first play of the second quarter put Denver up 10-3.
Houston used a 35-yard field goal to cut the lead to 10-6 after a 51-yard punt
return by Martin. Matt Prater made field goals of 25 and 44 yards to extend
Denvers lead to 16-6 at halftime. NOTES: The Broncos lost star linebacker
Von Miller to a knee injury in the first quarter, and Houston cornerback
Johnathan Joseph went out with a foot injury in the second quarter and didnt
return. Neither coach had updates on the injuries after the game. ... Houston TE
Ryan Griffin had a career-high 66 yards receiving.
