Peyton Manning has taken his tally of touchdown passes this season to 12, with the Denver Broncos 27-7 up against the Oakland Raiders at half time in their NFL clash.

Manning was quick to find his rhythm in the first quarter with a 55-yard drive, before picking out Eric Decker in the endzone for the first score of the night.

Matt Prater's trusty boot extended their advantage as he landed a 53-yard field goal, with rookie quarterback Terrelle Pryor lacking support for the Raiders at the other end.

Denver's offense looked unstoppable in the second quarter as Manning continued a relentless march up the field, finding Wes Walker and Julius Thomas for successive scores.

Oakland showed some signs of life before the first half closed when Pryor split the Broncos defense to find Denarius Moore for a 73-yard touchdown pass.

Manning completed the half with 15 successful passes, with six of those finding Walker, as the Raiders' defense struggled to combat a Broncos offense that passed the 300-yard mark during the second quarter.
