After completing a 3-yard touchdown pass in the end zone to Lil'Jordan Humphrey against the Detroit Lions, Russell Wilson became the second Broncos quarterback after Peyton Manning to throw one passing touchdown in the first 14 games of the season. 

Manning accomplished this same milestone back in 2012 and 2013 as Wilson joined the Hall of Famer for the 2023 regular season.

The play was initially called a touchdown, but was sent to the booth for official review and eventually ruled as a score for the Broncos. 

Last week against the Los Angeles Chargers, Wilson was praised for completing a single passing touchdown in the first 13 games of the season. 

The Denver Broncos chances of a seat in the AFC Playoff picture has slimmed after a 42-17 loss against the Detroit Lions. 

Next week, Denver will face off against the New England Patriots at Empower Field for Week 16.
