Oakland didn't have much going on early before Terrelle Pryor hit Denarius Moore for a 73-yard touchdown. Moore broke free from a tackle and turned upfield, diving into the end zone for the score. Oakland gained 38 yards on its first four drives before scoring on the 80-yard touchdown drive.
With his second touchdown pass, Manning tied Tom Brady for the NFL record for the most touchdown passes through the first three games of a season.
