The 10-yard touchdown pass was a perfect mix of preparation, precision and poetry. It was the latest example of the burgeoning relationship between Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning and wide receiver Demaryius Thomas.
That bond should be on full display Thursday night when the Broncos take on a reeling, injured Raiders team with the NFL's 25th-ranked pass defense.
The perfect pass arrived in the third quarter of Sunday's 31-23 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. When Thomas approached the line of scrimmage, his eyes opened wide with anticipation. He recognized he could exploit coverage from Buccaneers linebacker Lavonte David — if Manning changed the play at the line of scrimmage.
