OAKLAND-After a tough start to his afternoon against the Oakland Raiders, Peyton Manning showed he is one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play in the National Football League.

In less than 17 minutes of play, Manning threw five touchdown passes and the Denver Broncos came back from a early 10-6 deficit to defeat the Raiders 41-17 at the Coliseum.

With the loss, the Raiders have now lost 15 games in a row, with their last win coming against the Houston Texans at Reliant Stadium on November 17, 2013.

Early on, when he was not looking good, Manning threw two interceptions; however they all changed when Manning found former CAL star C.J. Anderson on a short pass that Anderson turned into a 51-yard touchdown pass that gave the Broncos the lead for good at 13-10.

Both Emmanuel Sanders and Julius Sanders reeled in two touchdowns each for the Broncos, who bounced back from against the New England Patriots with a convincing win over their longtime rivals.

Only playing three quarters, Manning went 31-for-44 for 340 yards.

Anderson finished the afternoon with 90 yards on the ground, and 73 thru the air, while Demaryius Thomas caught 11 passes for 108 yards.

Derek Carr threw the ball 47 times on the afternoon, completing 30 of them for 192 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.

The Raiders run game was non-existent, as a team they carried the ball a total of 15 times for 30 yards rushing.

Darren McFadden led the Raiders with 14 yards rushing on seven carries, while Maurice Jones-Drew carried the ball three times for just 10 yards.

When Sebastian Janikowski kicked a 41-yard field on the Raiders first possession of the game, it was the Raiders first lead over the Broncos since Tim Tebow was the Broncos quarterback during the 2011 season.
