Von Miller is out for the season with a torn ACL.

Miller suffered the injury in Sunday's win by the Denver Broncos over the Houston Texans.

Miller is one of the NFL's best pass rushers.

Von Miller will undergo an MRI to determine the extent of a knee injury suffered in the Denver Broncos' win over the Houston Texans.

The Broncos fear Miller may have an injury to his MRI, but there is hope that it isn't a tear.

"There's always some concern when your teammate goes down, especially a guy like Von, who's really starting to click now," said Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey. "It's unfortunate, but hopefully it's something minor and something he can come back from real quick."

Peyton Manning broke Tom Brady's single-season touchdown record with a 25-yard touchdown pass to Julius Thomas, his 51st of the season.

Brady threw for 50 touchdowns during the 2007 season.

Wes Welker will likely sit out until the playoffs due to a concussion.

Welker suffered concussions in Week 11 and 14, and hasn't been medically cleared.

The Denver Broncos feel as though they have enough depth at receiver and tight end to sustain without Welker.

The New England Patriots now control their own destiny to secure homefield advantage in the AFC throughout the playoffs.

The Denver Broncos lost on Thursday to the San Diego Chargers to fall to 11-3, and the Patriots hold the head-to-head tiebreaker.

The Patriots play at the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, followed by another road game at the Baltimore Ravens and at home against the Buffalo Bills.

Peyton Manning, clearly affected by criticism of his performance in cold weather games, threw for 397 yards and four touchdowns in the Denver Broncos' 51-28 win over the Tennessee Titans.

"Whoever wrote that narrative can shove it where the sun don't shine," Manning told Denver radio station 850 KOA following the win, which clinched a playoff berth for the Broncos (11-2). "I felt pretty good out there today."

Manning doesn't believe he is a least effective quarterback in cold weather games, despite a losing record.

The Titans rank 13th in passer rating allowed in the NFL.

Wes Welker suffered his second concussion of the season in the Denver Broncos' win over the Tennessee Titans.

Welker also suffered a concussion in Week 11.

Welker caught his 10th touchdown of the season earlier in the game.
