Every Monday and Friday, theScore's NFL editors will bring you a roundup of everything you need to know from around the division with the AFC West Notebook.

Denver Broncos

Peyton Manning throws 506 touchdowns in 30 seconds. Here is video evidence of all 506 touchdown passes that Peyton Manning has thrown over his 17-year career.

Broncos need to address offensive line penalties. Four of the Broncos' five starting linemen were flagged in their Week 6 win over the New York Jets. The unit will need to tighten up with the Broncos facing another tough defense in the 49ers on Sunday.

Terrance Knighton fined for abusive language. The defensive tackle was fined after using offensive language during the Broncos' Week 6 win over the Jets.

Kansas City Chiefs

Eric Berry will not play vs. Chargers. The three-time Pro Bowler returned to practice on Wednesday but will be unavailable to the Chiefs, who desperately need him in their secondary.

NFL Films Presents: Husain Abdullah. Chiefs safety Husain Abdullah is profiled by NFL films. It focuses on Abdullah balancing his Muslim religion with being a professional football player.

Jamaal Charles celebrated for his greatness. The Chiefs running back is profiled and praised with videos to support the Chiefs soon to be all-time leading rusher.

Oakland Raiders

Raiders attempt to fix third-down issues. The Raiders defense has allowed teams to convert on 51.4 percent of third downs. Head coach Tony Sparano will address the issue going forward.

Derek Carr will be tested by Patrick Peterson. The rookie quarterback has excelled but will run up against Patrick Peterson this week. He does not appear to be intimidated. "He's not being spooked by really anybody that way," Sparano said.

McFadden feels great, 'can let it loose 100 percent.' Oakland Raiders running back Darren McFadden is looking to have a healthy season, and so far so good. He has never felt this good in mid-October.

San Diego Chargers

Eddie Royal probable, three others questionable. The Chargers will most likely have Eddie Royal in the lineup Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. Dwight Freeney, Jason Verrett and Brandon Flowers are all questionable.

Philip Rivers has many worthy targets. Keenan Allen, Malcom Floyd and Eddie Royal all rank in the top 30 of Pro Football Focus's overall grade and that's before you factor in Antonio Gates, Ladarius Green and Branden Oliver.

Ryan Mathews not cleared to resume running. The oft-injured running back is dealing with a sprained MCL but has not been cleared to resume running yet, making his return at least weeks away.
