Finally, the Denver Broncos can get ready for some meaningful football. Oh, sure, the 13 wins and all those records Peyton Manning set will count, but the regular season was simply a warm-up act for a team with the Super Bowl on its radar.

As the world brings in a new year, the NFL brings in a new season, the post-season; the only season that counts for the Broncos. So as the world decides what they are going to do better in 2014, what better time to do the same for the Broncos. <!-- <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nfl.com/videos/denver-broncos/0ap2000000306931/Do-Broncos-have-the-best-offense-ever" mce_href="http://www.nfl.com/videos/denver-broncos/0ap2000000306931/Do-Broncos-have-the-best-offense-ever">NFL.com Video: Do the Denver Broncos have the best offense, ever?</a>

Every week, the Elias Sports Bureau takes a look at every NFL game and alters all kinds of stats. Well, as discussed in the FanShots yesterday, there's a chance that when they review the Broncos 34-14 win over the Oakland Raiders, that they may alter the stats where Manning's single season passing yard record may be in danger.

The league and its statistician agency, the Elias Sports Bureau, reviewed a 7-yard completion from Manning to Eric Decker during the first quarter of the Broncos' 34-14 victory Sunday at Oakland and decided Tuesday evening that replays were not conclusive enough to overturn.
