The Indianapolis Colts remain undefeated and broke the NFL record for consecutive regular season wins in Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos 28-16.

Peyton Manning passed for four touchdowns, three to Dallas Clark, as Indianapolis eclipsed the New England Patriots’ string of 21 victories between 2006 and 2008.

The Colts (13-0) have not lost a regular season game since falling to the Tennessee Titans 31-21 in October 2008.

Indianapolis also wrapped up home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs and became the most successful NFL team in any decade with their 114th victory since 2000. The San Francisco 49ers held the previous record of 113 wins in the 1990s.

The AFC South champions led 21-0 midway the second quarter before Denver (8-5) scored the next 16 points.

Brandon Marshall caught two passes from Kyle Orton to bring the visiting Broncos within 21-16 before Manning connected with Clark for their third touchdown with 2:29 to play.

Marshall caught 21 passes for 200 yards to shatter the NFL record for receptions in a game.
