Peyton Manning Throws For Historic 70,000 Yards In Comeback Win

There are only two people in the NFL history books with 70,000 passing yards under their arm -- Bret Favre and now, after last night's win over the Chiefs, Broncos' quarterback Peyton Manning is also in this exclusive club. There are some differences between these two premiere quarterbacks that have ransacked the record books though. Favre went down hard in his twilight years while Manning continues to be a difference maker. Manning's 153 passing yards against the Chiefs were overshadowed by the Broncos scoring two touchdowns in the final minute of the game. The last time this happened, Manning's father, Archie Manning, was on the losing end.

After the game Manning wasn't worried about milestones. He was more happy his team won.

 #Favre. #Manning. That's the list.

"To be able to win two games in this fashion, you can always refer back to games like this later on in this season," Manning said after coming off the heels of another incredible win. "These are obviously great times to play football. To win a division game on the road, a great atmosphere, this place is always a great place to play football, and the crowd was rocking [Thursday], they were into it. Yeah, I think this is one that you always remember, certainly the way it ended." The two touchdowns came dramatically with 36 seconds left. The Broncos, down by 7 against the Chiefs, tied the game with a pass to Emmanuel Lewis with 36 seconds left. Then the 26-year-old Linebacker out of Nevada, Brandon Marshall, stripped Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles. This set up cornerback Bradley Roby returning the ball for a touchdown with 27 seconds left. Today, Peyton Manning is sitting on 70,122 yards. He'll need 1,716 more yards if he's looking to surpass Favre as the all-time pass king. All he has to do is stay healthy and there's a chance he can do this. Do you think Peyton Manning will surpass Bret Favre?
