NFL Game Summary - Philadelphia at Denver

Denver, CO (Sports Network) - Peyton Manning added to his record-setting touchdown total with four scoring strikes, as the Denver Broncos set a franchise record for points in a game with a 52-20 dismantling of the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.

Manning completed 28-of-34 passes for 327 yards, and he has racked up 16 touchdown passes this season, marking the most in the first four games of a season in NFL history.

The 37-year-old signal-caller has eclipsed the 300-yard mark in every game and has yet to throw an interception, matching the NFL record for most TD passes to start a season without a pick.

Wes Welker and Demaryius Thomas each hauled in two scores, while Knowshon Moreno rushed for 78 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries for the Broncos (4-0), who have won 15 straight regular-season games dating back to last season to set the franchise-record for most consecutive regular-season wins.

Denver's special teams also contributed to the rout, with Trindon Holliday returning a kickoff 105 yards for a score and Steven Johnson returning a blocked punt for a touchdown.

Michael Vick threw for 248 yards on 14-of-27 passing, but was unable to find the end zone as the Eagles (1-3) dropped their third straight game since opening the season with a win over NFC East rival Washington.

Backup quarterback Nick Foles replaced Vick late in the fourth quarter and fired a 6-yard touchdown pass to Jeff Maehl to account for the final margin.
