Peyton Manning led the Denver Broncos to victory over his younger brother Eli Manning and the New York Giants 41-23. Peyton is now 3-0 against his brother Eli and the Broncos are now 2-0. Peyton threw for 307 yards, 2 touchdowns and Running Back Knowshon Moreno led the Broncos in rushing with 13 carries for 93 yards on 2 touchdowns. Eli threw for 362 yards, 1 touchdown and 4 interceptions. Eli has thrown 5 touchdowns and 7 interceptions this year thus far. The Giants only managed 23 yards rushing total on 19 carries as a team.

 

Tight End Julius Thomas was one of Peyton favorite targets again with 6 catches for 47 yards and a touchdown and newcomer Wide Receiver Wes Welker had 3 catches for 39 yards and a touchdown. The Giants only trailed 17-16 during the third quarter, the Broncos went on to score three touchdowns and never looked back. The Giants are now 0-2 this season and are only one game behind in the NFC East division. The Broncos still look like the team to beat in the AFC and will continue to improve once their two best defensive players return.
