ANY-MINUTE MILESTONES

• After setting a new career high in Week 15 with his ninth touchdown reception of the year, wide receiver Eric Decker needs 77 receiving yards for his first career 1,000-yard season. It would make him and wideout Demaryius Thomas the first pair of Broncos receivers to each record 1,000 yards in a season since 2004.

• Defensive end Elvis Dumervil and linebacker Von Miller can each pass Dennis Smith for the most fumbles forced by a Bronco in a single season since the statistic was tracked beginning in 1984. They have six forced fumbles a piece.

• Quarterback Peyton Manning needs one more 300-yard passing game (his eighth) to tie Jay Cutler for the most 300-yard passing games in a Broncos season.
