Manning on fire as Broncos shake off the Cowboys

Just short of 100 points were scored in an incredible Texas shoot-out between the Denver Broncos and the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday which left Peyton Manning’s Broncos in control of one of the three unbeaten records in the NFL thanks to a 51-48 win.

It was a tough defeat for the home side whose quarterback Tony Romo went from sublime to subdued at 48-48 when his late interception gave Denver back the ball at the Cowboys 24-yard line with less than two minutes left. Manning made sure to see out the clock by avoiding a touchdown and giving Matt Prater the chance to kick the winning score from the 28-yard line.

“I try to treat every kick the same,” Prater said. “My mindset all year has been that I go with the flow, and when you have the opportunity to make a kick, you make it — no matter the score.
