on december 31, 2013, two days after the end of the regular season, media reports indicated that peyton manning's passing yardage record was being reviewed by the nfl. manning sat out the second half of the broncos' week 17 win over the oakland raiders, after he had eclipsed drew brees' record for single-season passing yardage by one yard just before halftime. however, manning's record was called into question, due to a play that could have been ruled as a running play instead of a forward pass. near the end of the first quarter of the broncos' week 17 win over the raiders, manning completed what was, at the time, ruled as a 7-yard pass to wide receiver eric decker. however, the pass appeared to be a lateral from cbs camera angles, as manning appeared to throw the football from the broncos' 49-yard line, and decker appeared to catch the pass from the broncos' 48-yard line, indicating that the play should have been recorded as a running play, not a passing play. manning later set the single-season passing yardage record with a 5-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver demaryius thomas just before halftime. after further review by the nfl and the elias sports bureau, the league upheld the initial ruling, resulting in manning's new nfl record for single-season passing yardage remaining intact.
