Manning was 27 of 42 for 462 yards with no picks for a QB rating of 141.1
That's going to be a hard act to follow. (even for Manning)

1. Manning became the first quarterback since the AFL-NFL merger to throw seven touchdowns in a game. The last quarterback to do it was Joe Kapp of the Minnesota Vikings in 1969. Kapp threw those TDs against the Baltimore Colts, which is fitting, giving that team?s dual ties to the Ravens and Peyton himself.
2. The Thursday total was one fewer than Kansas City Chiefs? quarterbacks had in all of 2012.
3. As of Week 1, Manning is on pace to throw 112 touchdowns this season. That would be 10 more than Joe Flacco has in his career.
4. Former Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow threw for seven touchdowns in his last 19 games.
5. In one night, Manning tied the record for most career four TD games (23), tied the record for most career five TD games (7), set the record for most career six TD games (3) and tied the record for most career seven TD games (1).
