The second year quarterback did everything he was capable of throwing for 375 yards with three touchdowns and zero interceptions. This marked the second straight game Davis threw for over 325 yards and three touchdowns.

Meanwhile in Denver, Peyton Manning continued to show why he is one of the greatest quarterbacks of all-time. The Broncos starter picked apart a solid Arizona Cardinals defense from the start to the finish including his fourth passing touchdown in the fourth quarter.  Manning’s first touchdown pass of the game was number 500 of his career and was able to finish at 503.

Manning also connected on 31 of 47 passes for 479 yards to go with the four touchdown passes. Demaryius Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders and Julius Thomas all added big fantasy games for fantasy owners.
