Manning passes Favre's TD mark in Broncos' big win After breaking Brett Favre's NFL record with his 509th touchdown toss, Manning's teammates played keep-away with his milestone memento, and Manning played right along. Manning went into the Sunday night showdown two TDs shy of Favre's record of 508 and finished with four touchdown passes on 22-of-26 passing for 318 yards in just three quarters of work. From there, Welker dished it back to Sanders, who flipped it to Julius Thomas — all of Manning's favorite targets getting into the act as Manning ran around like a kid trying to get his lunch sack back. The souvenir won't end up on Manning's mantle, however — the Pro Football Hall of Fame has a nice spot all ready for it. The Broncos' big receiver didn't stop at the record-breaking TD. The Broncos have finally found some footing in their ground game even without Montee Ball, who is out with a groin injury. Ronnie Hillman, coming off his first career 100-yard game, gained 74 yards on 14 carries (5.3-yard average) to go with four receptions for 29 yards. Kaepernick had no time to operate behind a patchwork offensive line, spending most of his night on the run or on his back. Manning reached the career TD milestone in his 246th regular-season game. The Broncos lost LB Steven Johnson (ankle) and CB Omar Bolden (possible concussion).
