Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos wanted to rev up their running game at the expense of the passing attack. The Dolphins boast one of the top rushing defenses in the league, so less of Manning's right arm and more of anything the Broncos had in the backfield seemed like a good trade-off. Manning did his part, too, throwing four touchdown passes, including three to Demaryius Thomas. Not so much that the Broncos (8-3) tried to run the ball so much against Miami's eighth-ranked rushing defense — averaging 5.7 yards per carry — but that it actually worked. If you want to beat a team like the Broncos, who went the Super bowl last year and are contenders this year, you've got to play your best game. Ryan Tannehill was moving Miami for the go-ahead score, but he threw an interception that deflected off Jarvis Landry's hands and straight to Broncos safety T.J.
