The wording is important because even ESPN is confusing the record.
Peyton Manning just threw his 14th TD pass of the season, tied for most in NFL history after 4 games. He has 14 Pass TD, 0 Int. WOW.

Peyton is on an unbelievable pace to begin the season. My feeling his that these will be just a few of many records Peyton and our offense will set this year. The 2007 New England Patriots set the record for most points in a single season with 589. After today, the Broncos have scored 179 points. To break it, the Broncos would need to average about 34-35 points per game over the final 12. Let's do it!
Go Broncos!!!
Go Peyton Manning!!!
