The record setting TD pass was a shovel pass to Julius Thomas from the Cowboy 4-yard line. Old school Broncos fans will remember that the shovel pass was a long time staple in the John Elway Bronco offense. It appeared as if Manning audibled into the play, and it appeared as if it were going to be "Sprint Right Option" again.
The scoring play was set up by a beautiful 57 yard bomb to Eric Decker who ran a gorgeous double move and then made a fantastic spin move to pick up additional yards after the catch.
Look for Decker to have a big day as Morris Claiborne has been burned repeatedly on the season. Let's just hope the Broncos defense settles down a bit. Romo has done a fantastic job of extending plays and buying more time.
