It was a big win for the Broncos as they try to pull away from the rest of the AFC West, but the game also marked the end of a lengthy streak for Manning.
Entering Sunday’s game, Peyton Manning had thrown for at least one touchdown in 51 streaight games.
That streak ended in the Broncos’ 24-17 win over Buffalo.
Manning finished the game with 173 and two interceptions on 14-of-20 passing. Manning had a 56.9 passer rating for the day.
To put into perspective just how long it has been since Peyton Manning had been slinging touchdowns, the last time he went without a touchdown through the air was all the way back on Nov. 14, 2010 when he was still a member of the Indianapolis Colts.
But while it was a disappointing ending of the streak for Manning, he will take the win and continue to lead his team on what could very likely be another deep playoff run.
