Next-Day Notebook: McManus breaks out the driver, offense finds its rhythm
Kicker Brandon McManus has himself a day and the Broncos offense finds its rhythm in the fourth frame.
DENVER – The Broncos defense came up big with two interceptions and the offense ended on a high note – but one Bronco quietly made history Sunday afternoon.
Kicker Brandon McManus split the uprights from 57 yards out to open the game – the fifth-longest kick in Broncos history and his first 50-plus yard conversion.
But McManus wasn’t done. On the next drive, he sunk a 56-yarder, making him just the second kicker in NFL history to convert two field goals from 56 yards or longer in the same game. McManus went on to make two more field goals from 43 and 33 yards out.
