1. In four games, the Broncos have scored 49, 41, 37 and 52 points. The total of 179 points through Week 4 is the most since the NFL/AFL merger. Only the 1966 Dallas Cowboys ever scored more. That came in an offense-happy season that also saw the highest scoring NFL game in history.

2. Denver’s 52 points on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles were the most in franchise history.

3. The Broncos are averaging 44.8 points per game. That means the team is on pace to score 716 points this year. The NFL record is 589, set by the New England Patriots in the team’s perfect 2007 season. To beat that record, Denver has to score 34.2 points per game for the rest of the year. (New England had scored 148 points through its first four games that year.)

4. Denver has scored 59 points in the third quarter this season. That’s more than the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Jacksonville Jaguars have scored all season and just two points less than the New York Giants.

5. Peyton Manning has 16 touchdown passes through his first four games. That puts him on pace to throw 64 touchdowns this season. It’s also the most TD passes through four games in NFL history. The previous record was 14, held by Kurt Warner.

6. To go with those 16 touchdowns, Manning has tossed no interceptions. It’s only the second time in NFL history that a quarterback has as many touchdown passes without throwing a pick. Milt Plum of the 1960 Cleveland Browns is the other.

7. Manning’s pace for the year: 468-624, 75.0%, 5,880 yards, 64 TDs, 0 INTs. All would be NFL records.

8. The Broncos led 42-13 at the end of the third quarter. If the game had ended with that score, the team’s points per game average would have gone down by 0.33 points.

8.5. The most unbelievable stat of all: Tim Tebow still has a better playoff record as a Broncos quarterback than Peyton Manning. But we can’t end on that.

9. In Week 6, the winless Jacksonville Jaguars head to Denver to play the Broncos. Jay Kornegay of the Las Vegas Hilton says the point spread could be 28, which would be the biggest in NFL history.
