So, up the ladder he went throwing the ball high in the back of the end zone to Demaryius Thomas.

Thomas cheap jerseys leaped and brought it down with his right hand, then got both feet down inside the line for a touchdown. With that, he joined Eric Decker in Denver's one handed touchdown club Sunday and gave the Broncos another otherworldly highlight to go with their home field advantage throughout the playoffs after a 38 3 runaway over the Kansas City Chiefs.

"They claim they can do that all the time," said cornerback Champ Bailey, who got to watch the replays of both catches about a half dozen times on the scoreboard. "They say they practice that. I don't see it. But as long as they do it on Sunday, I'm all for it. Those are some great, hard working boys and I expect nothing less."

Manning, in search of his fifth MVP award and, yes, a second Super Bowl title, finished 23 for 29 for 304 yards, three scores and a 144.8 passer rating. One of his main competitors for the award, Adrian Peterson of the Vikings, ran for 199 yards to reach 2,097 for the season in a 37 34 win over Green Bay that secured a playoff berth.

That one went down to the wire. Manning was out of http://www.eaglewoodfolk.com/categod/ his game by the fourth quarter.

This was the second straight Sunday he used a grey and orange glove to prepare for the cold, playoff weather he could face at home the next two games.

"I threw it OK today, I guess," said Manning, who finished the season with 4,659 yards, 37 touchdowns and a 105.8 passer rating, all second best in his 15 year career.

Thanks to Houston's 28 16 loss to Indianapolis before the Broncos kicked off, Denver (13 3) will be the top seed for the sixth time. The Broncos made the Super Bowl four of the previous five times they've had home field advantage.

Though the Chiefs (2 14) gave the Broncos as tough a tussle as anyone during their 11 game winning streak in a 17 9 cheap nfl jerseys loss last month this wasn't expected to be much of a game. It wasn't.

Leave it to Manning, ever wholesale 49ers jerseys the perfectionist, to ramp up the wholesale jerseys degree of difficulty.

On the 16 yard touchdown to Decker, Manning slightly overthrew the pass but Decker reached out with his left hand, brought the ball into his helmet, had it pinball against his facemask twice, then cradled it with both hands as he was falling to the ground.

"Peyton throws the ball up, giving us a chance to make a play. It's our job to catch it," Decker said.

The 13 yard touchdown to the 6 foot 3 against Cleveland: high in the back of the end zone where only his receiver could catch it.

"That was probably the limit right there," Manning said. "But I've seen him in practice. He can jump. He can really elevate. It's hard to throw it over his head, I'll say that."

The Thomas touchdown made it 28 3 and the celebration was on. The only cheap jerseys from china trip the Broncos will have to make on their road to wholesale jerseys a championship would be to New Orleans for the Super Bowl. They'll open the playoffs at home Jan. 12 against Baltimore, Cincinnati or Manning's old team, the cheap jerseys Colts.

Coach John Fox, in search of his second trip to the Super Bowl, won his 100th career game. Thomas and linebacker Wesley Woodyard congratulated him with a big splash of orange Gatorade at the end.
