Stud No. 3 – Demaryius Thomas
Peyton Manning securing the all-time NFL passing record may have been the focus of the first quarter, but it was quickly overshadowed by an otherwise miserable performance. Demaryius Thomas, meanwhile, inched himself closer to a pair of Broncos records.
Quietly, Thomas amassed seven catches for 71 yards, all but one of those coming from Brock Osweiler. While Thomas did not find the end zone Sunday, he did move into the top-five in Broncos history in both receptions and receiving yards, passing Vance Johnson and Steve Watson, respectively.
Capping off the day was the fact that his mother could finally watch him play. She was released from prison earlier in the week and saw Thomas play for the first time ever.
There wasn’t much to feel good about on Sunday, but you can bet DT felt pretty good knowing mom was finally watching, and about moving up those all-time rankings lists.
