Peyton Manning Throws Three TD Strikes, Broncos Blast Browns
Fitzgerald Cecilio
Denver, CO
Peyton Manning completed 30 of 43 passes for 339 yards with three TDs and one interception as the Denver Broncos (12-3) blasted the Cleveland Browns (5-10), 34-12, Sunday at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
The Broncos extended their winning streak to 10 games and improved their record to an AFC best 12-3, thanks to another stellar performance from their quarterback. Manning registered at least three TDs in a game for the 72nd time of his career.
Denver took a 14-3 halftime lead behind two TDs from Manning while the Broncos defense took the spotlight in the second half, smothering the Browns offense to just a single TD.
Browns starting quarterback Brandon Weeden had his night shortened after getting sacked by Defensive Player of the Year candidate Von Miller.
Colt McCoy took the signal-calling role for the Browns and gave his team its only TD after hooking up with Greg Little for 6-yard TD play at 7:56 mark of the fourth.
Unfortunately for the Browns, the Broncos were rolling all night as Jacob Hester delivered a one-yard run and Matt Prater converted two more field goals to book another lopsided win for the AFC West champ.
