Denver Broncos at Oakland Raiders

FILE - In this Oct. 7, 2012, file photo, Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning (18) follows through on a pass as tackle Ryan Clady (78) blocks New England Patriots defensive end Rob Ninkovich (50) in the first half of an NFL football game in Foxborough, Mass. It's one thing to block for a quarterback. It's quite another when that quarterback is Manning, the NFL version of a national treasure. Through nine games, the Broncos have allowed only 11 sacks _ tied with the Houston Texans for the least allowed and alone in the lead with the fewest number of sacks allowed per pass play.
