The Denver Broncos hold a 31-6 lead over the Oakland Raiders early in the fourth quarter at Sports Authority Field at Mile High on Sunday afternoon. Peyton Manning threw two touchdown passes in the third quarter to give him three for the game.

Manning found Eric Decker for a 17-yard scoring strike to open the second half scoring. After the Broncos blocked a punt on the Raiders' ensuing possession, Willis McGahee's 4-yard touchdown run just four plays later put the Broncos up by three scores.
