Manning on the ball
History
Published on : 1/3/2014
One football … two records! The football Peyton Manning threw for his final pass of the 2013 NFL regular season arrived at the Hall of Fame on Friday morning. The veteran QB completed a five-yard touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas with 13 seconds remaining in the first half of the Denver Broncos’ 34-14 win over the Oakland Raiders on Dec. 29, 2013.
The pass cemented two records for Manning. He added to his touchdown record by throwing his 55th TD pass of the year. In addition, the five yards gave him the single-season passing yardage record of 5,477 yards which eclipsed, by one yard, the mark held by Drew Brees of the New Orleans Saints.
