NEXT OPPONENT: DENVER BRONCOS

The Broncos were unbeaten entering Sunday night's game against the Lions at Mile High Stadium.

OPPONENT WEEK 3

Detroit at Denver, late

The Broncos opened the season with a 19-13 victory over Baltimore, then stunned Kansas City 31-24 by scoring twice in the final 36 seconds of the game, including a game-winner on a fumble return for a touchdown.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR

Peyton Manning, quarterback

In his 18th season, the 39-year-old holds many of the NFL career passing records as he wills his body through another season. He rebounded from a tough opening-game performance to throw for three TDs at Kansas City.

OUTLOOK

The Vikings defense should be able to chase down the aging Manning.

Outlook: Horns up
