For the second time in four weeks Peyton Manning did not throw a touchdown pass, but it didn’t stop the Broncos from clinching the AFC’s No. 2 seed.

The Broncos (12-4) were rolling from the beginning, scoring on their first two drives of the game and leading at halftime 20-7.

The Broncos offense put up 451 total yards while holding the Raiders to 199 yards.

Peyton Manning completed 21 of 37 passes for 273 yards before being taken out of the game for backup Brock Osweiler.

Osweiler threw the first touchdown pass of his three-year career when he found Virgil Green for a one-yard score.

Connor Barth kicked four field goals in the win.

Derrick Carr completed 18 of 36 passes for 158 yards, one touchdown and one interception for the Raiders (3-13) in the loss.
