September 5, 2013. The Broncos’ season opener, a 49-27 home victory against the Baltimore Ravens. It was the teams’ most recent meeting, and it was one that will forever be etched in the history books, Peyton Manning’s name alongside Joe Kapp’s.
“Joe Kapp,” Manning recalled that night in 2013. “No. 11. From Cal, I want to say. Canadian.”
That night, in addition to completing 27 of 42 pass attempts (64.3 percent) for 462 yards and zero interceptions, Manning threw seven touchdowns, tying an NFL single-game record that had most recently been set by Kapp and previously four others.
