DENVER (AP) - Peyton Manning slapped his hands together five, six, seven times and barked out the signals. A few seconds later, Wes Welker was all alone, cradling the quarterback's latest touchdown pass.
All part of another impeccably crafted victory for Manning and the Denver Broncos, who rolled past the Oakland Raiders 37-21 Monday night. Denver's 127 points lead the league and are 31 more than second-place Green Bay.
This was Denver's 14th-straight regular-season win, tying the franchise record set in 1998 when the Broncos won their second Super Bowl.
Manning went 32-for-37 for 374 yards and set a few more records while outwitting the overmatched Raiders (1-2).
