Manning threw for 318 yards against the 49ers on Sunday night, bringing his career total in Denver to 11,984 yards. That pushed Manning past Craig Morton for the No. 2 spot. Manning has also passed Brian Griese (11,763) and Jake Plummer (11,631) in the past two weeks.
Morton threw for 11,895 yards during his six seasons in Denver, a career that included 72 starts for the Broncos. Like Manning, Morton's time in Denver also included a Super Bowl loss. Morton and the Broncos lost to the Cowboys in Super Bowl XII.
As for touchdown passes, Manning has actually been No. 2 on the Broncos career list for almost a year now. Morton threw 74 touchdown passes during his 72 career games in Denver. Manning passed that mark in only 28 games. Manning threw his 76th touchdown pass with the Broncos in Week 12 of 2013.
You didn't think I was talking about Elway, now did you?
