The Denver Broncos have opened up an eight-point lead over the Philadelphia Eagles at half time in their NFL fixture.

Wes Welker scored the first touchdown early in the first quarter after being found by Peyton Manning, and Matt Prater then kicked the extra point.

Alex Henery got the Eagles on the board with a 35-yard field goal, before Trindon Holliday returned 105 yards for a touchdown. Henery added more points with a kick from 25 yards.

Chris Polk rushed the middle from four yards to score a touchdown with two minutes 10 seconds played in the second quarter.

However, Knowshon Moreno replicated that feat, with Prater adding the extra to give the Broncos a considerable advantage at the interval.
