1. Setting the pace

Former Bronco Peyton Manning led off the DAYTONA 500 on Sunday, driving the pace car as the NASCAR drivers warmed up before fellow celebrity guest Charlize Theron waved the green flag to start the race.

2. Mr. B's b-day

Sunday marked Owner Pat Bowlen's 74th birthday, and Broncos past and present celebrated the occasion on social media.

300 wins in 30 years.

Seven Super Bowl appearances by four different coaches.

3. Ochocinco and cinco ocho

We're not sure a more eccentric NFL duo than Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson and Von Miller could be found together.
