Peyton Manning owns the single season touchdown record with 51 after today’s huge win
Today Peyton Manning broke the NFL record for touchdown passes in a season and the Denver Broncos own the AFC West title.
Manning regained his record with 51 when he threw for 400 yards and four touchdowns, including three in the fourth quarter. 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 Houston’s franchise-record skid to 13 games.
Manning did it on a 25-yard pass to Julius Thomas with 4:28 remaining. Just 2½ minutes earlier, he tied the mark with a 20-yard pass to Eric Decker.
Manning is about to shatter the record with one game remaining. The question is will the Broncos play him or rest him? With the Chiefs losing the Broncos should have locked up home field advantage.
