Peyton Manning breaks all kinds of records (2013).

2013 was an incredible statistical season for the Broncos’ offense. They broke the record for most points scored in a single season with 606. They recorded the most touchdowns ever with 76, had the most first down conversions through the air at 293 and, beat their own record for most points scored in the second half of games with 318.

As well as the teams offense did collectively, Peyton Manning had himself a record-setting year individually, too.

He kicked off the year with the previously mentioned, seven touchdown game against the Ravens and really, he never stopped.

He passed the 60,000 yard threshold in Week 2 of the season, joining only Dan Marino and Brett Favre in that club at the time.

He broke the franchise record for most touchdowns in a single season in Week 13, passing the old record of 37 held by… Peyton Manning the year prior.

He then passed Tom Brady for most touchdowns in a single season ever in Week 15 before closing the season with 55 total touchdowns. He also threw for the most total yards in a single season, with 5,477 total.

He threw over 10 touchdown passes each to Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker, Julius Thomas and, Wes Welker.

The season didn’t end the way the Broncos would have hoped, being blown out by the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl, but the ride to the big day is something every fan will always remember fondly.
