OAKLAND-When he finally decides to hang up his cleats, Peyton Manning may hold every record by a quarterback in NFL history.

Manning threw four touchdowns in the first half on 25-for-28 for 266 yards, as the Denver Broncos defeated the Oakland Raiders 34-14 before 51,500 at the Coliseum.

The 266 yards thrown by Manning broke Drew Brees’ two-year record for most yards in a season by a quarterback.

Manning finished the season with an NFL record 55 touchdowns, and threw for 5,477 yards, breaking Brees record by one yard.

Eric Decker, Knowshown Moreno, and Denaryius Thomas were on the receiving end of the four touchdowns, as the Broncos ended their season with a 13-3 record and finished with the number one seed in the AFC.

Terrelle Pryor finished his first season as the starter going 21-for-38 for 207 yards and two touchdowns.

Pryor was also the leading ground gainer for the Raiders, as he carried the ball nine times for 49 yards.

Rod Streater got the Raiders on the board, as he was on the receiving end of a Pryor 14-yard pass with 4:37 remaining in the game.

On their next possession, Pryor then found Nick Kasa for a nine-yard touchdown pass with 37 seconds remaining.

Sebastian Janikowski troubles kicking field goals continued, as he missed a 42-yard field goal wide to the right on the Raiders first possession in the second half.
