DENVER (AP) Peyton Manning broke Brett Favre's NFL record for touchdown passes with No. 509, and didn't stop there.
Manning threw four TD passes in Denver's 42-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night, two to Demaryius Thomas, one to Wes Welker, and another to Emmanuel Sanders.
That gives him 510.
The record-breaker was an 8-yarder to Thomas with 3:09 left in the first half.
Favre sent along his congratulations via a scoreboard video he taped from his home in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
He threw a 3-yard TD pass to Sanders on Denver's first drive and tied the record when Welker took a pass over the middle for 39 yards. Sanders' score was his first in Denver, and he became the 47th player to catch a TD pass from Manning.
Manning added a 40-yard TD throw to Thomas in the second half.
Manning reached the milestone in his 246th regular-season game. Favre needed 302.
AUTO RACING
TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) - Coming off a tumultuous week and backed into a must-win situation, Brad Keselowski pulled off one of his biggest victories.
Keselowski drove a perfect final two laps in overtime Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway, where he had to win to advance into the third round of NASCAR's championship race. Anything but a victory would have ended his title chances, which took a huge hit last week with a poor finish at Charlotte and a post-race meltdown that earned him a $50,000 fine.
The 2012 champion sparred on the track at Charlotte with Denny Hamlin, intentionally hit Matt Kenseth on pit road and ran into the back of Tony Stewart. He was then accused of recklessly driving through a dark and crowded garage. Hamlin had to be restrained from going after him, and Kenseth jumped him from behind in a scrap that was quickly broken up.
Keselowski was in a three-way race to Victory Lane with six-time and defending champion Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr., all three needing to win to stave off elimination.
Joey Logano and Kevin Harvick, the winners of the first two races in the second round, also advanced to the third three-race round along with Ryan Newman, Carl Edwards, Jeff Gordon, Hamlin and Kenseth. The field will be cut to four after the ninth race.
Kenseth, Clint Bowyer, Landon Cassill, and Newman completed the top five. Danica Patrick led 26 laps late in the race before fading to 19th.
PHILLIP ISLAND, Australia (AP) - Valentino Rossi of Italy won his sixth Australian Grand Prix MotoGP - and first since 2005 - when he claimed a 10-second victory over Spain's Jorge Lorenzo on Sunday.
The win was Rossi's 82nd in MotoGP or its predecessor, the 500 c.c. class, the most by any rider.
World champion Marc Marquez of Spain, who clinched the season title last weekend in Japan, crashed with 10 laps remaining while leading by four seconds on the 4.5-kilometer (2.7-mile) Philip Island circuit.
Bradley Smith of Britain was third. All podium finishers were on Yamahas.
GOLF
LAS VEGAS (AP) - Ben Martin made a 45-foot eagle putt on the 16th hole that sent him to his first PGA Tour victory Sunday in the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.
Martin was one shot behind Kevin Streelman when his eagle put him back in the lead. He closed with a birdie for a 3-under 68 and a two-shot victory at the TPC Summerlin.
Moments after Martin made his eagle putt, Streelman missed a 5-foot birdie putt that would have tied him for the lead. Streelman still made five birdies over his last seven holes for a 65.
Martin finished at 20-under 264. The victory sends him back to the Masters. Martin played Augusta National in 2010 as the U.S. Amateur runner-up.
Russell Knox was third at 16 under after a 70.
Webb Simpson, the 2013 winner, was 15 under along with Jimmy Walker and Brooks Koepka. Simpson and Koepka shot 68, and Walker had a 69.
CONOVER, N.C. (AP) - Jay Haas became the 18th player to win a Champions Tour event at 60 or older, closing with a 5-under 66 for a two-stroke victory in the Greater Hickory Kia Classic.
The 60-year-old former Wake Forest player has 17 victories on the 50-and-over tour after winning nine times on the PGA Tour. He also won the event in 2005 and 2009.
Haas extended his streak of under-par rounds to 23 and finished at 17-under 196 on Rock Barn Golf and Spa's Champions Course. He ended a 27-month, 49-event winless streak since June 2012.
Joe Durant and Kirk Triplett tied for second. Durant and Triplett, the winner last week in Cary, shot 66.
INCHEON, South Korea (AP) - Kyu Jung Baek won the LPGA KEB-HanaBank Championship in her first tour start, beating fellow South Korean player In Gee Chun and American Brittany Lincicome with a 4-foot birdie putt on the first hole of a playoff.
The 19-year-old Baek made the winning putt after Lincicome missed her birdie try from 4 1/2 feet. Chun hit her third shot into the greenside water hazard on the par-5 hole.
Baek finished with a 5-under 67 to match Lincicome and Chun at 10 under on Sky 72's Ocean Course. Lincicome and Chun each shot 66. Second-ranked Inbee Park was a stroke back after a 67.
ASH, England (AP) - Finland's Mikko Ilonen beat top-seeded Henrik Stenson of Sweden 3 and 1 on Sunday to win the World Match Play Championship.

HONG KONG (AP) - Australia's Scott Hend won the Hong Kong Open, beating Angelo Que of the Philippines with a par on the first hole of a playoff.

TENNIS
SINGAPORE (AP) - Serena Williams says comments by the head of the Russian Tennis Federation referring to her and older sister Venus as ''brothers'' were bullying, sexist and racist, and that she supported the one-year suspension imposed by the WTA against the official.
Shamil Tarpischev was also fined $25,000 for making the comments on Russian television. He also said the sisters were ''scary'' to look at.
''I think the WTA did a great job of taking (the) initiative and taking immediate action to his comments,'' Williams said Sunday in Singapore ahead of her WTA Finals defense. ''I thought they were very insensitive and extremely sexist as well as racist at the same time. I thought they were in a way bullying. ''
Asked whether he regretted his comments, Tarpischev told The Associated Press on Saturday at the Kremlin Cup that the program on which he spoke was ''a humorous show.'' When asked about his ban, Tarpischev said: ''I can't comment. I don't understand it.''
In a statement released later by the Russian Tennis Federation, Tarpischev denied any ''malicious intent'' and said his quotes had been taken out of context.
The WTA said it would seek his removal as chairman of the Kremlin Cup tournament, which ended Sunday.
MOSCOW (AP) - U.S. Open champion Marin Cilic won the Kremlin Cup on Sunday, beating Roberto Bautista Agut 6-4, 6-4 in the final.
The big-serving Croat, seeded second, broke his Spanish opponent once in each set at Moscow's Olimpiisky arena to take his 13th career title and fourth of the season.
Earlier Sunday, sixth-seeded Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia defeated Romania's Irina-Camelia Begu 6-4, 5-7, 6-1 to win the women's event.
Cilic secured qualification Friday for next month's ATP Finals in London and said he was in good form to face the rest of the world's top eight.
Cilic becomes the first Croatian man to win the Moscow ATP 250 tournament since his coach Goran Ivanisevic beat Yevgeny Kafelnikov in 1996.
In the women's final, Pavlyuchenkova seized her chance when Begu tired after two evenly-matched sets.
Playing in her home city, Pavlyuchenkova skipped across the court with joy after converting her second match point to become the first Russian woman to win the Kremlin Cup since Elena Dementieva in 2007.
The Russian is now 7-3 in career WTA finals. The Kremlin Cup is her season's second title after the Open GDF Suez in Paris.
Pavlyuchenkova dropped just one set in the five matches she played on the way to the title, none of them against a seeded opponent.
World No. 61 Begu is 1-3 in finals. This was her first final since 2012.
Absent from the trophy presentation was Russian Tennis Federation president Shamil Tarpischev, who was banned for a year by the WTA on Friday over derogatory comments about the Williams sisters.
Tarpischev did, however, attend the presentation for the men's final, which was under the auspices of the ATP.
STOCKHOLM (AP) - Top-seeded Tomas Berdych beat defending champion Grigor Dimitrov 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 Sunday to win the Stockholm Open for the second time.
Berdych claimed his 10th career title despite wasting a 5-3 lead in the first set. He broke Dimitrov early in each of the next two sets to wrap up the win and stay on course to qualify for the season-ending ATP finals in London.
Dimitrov was bidding to claim his fourth title of the year but slipped further behind Andy Murray in his attempt to qualify for London.
VIENNA (AP) - Andy won his second title in three weeks at the Erste Bank Open on Sunday, boosting his chances of making the cut for the ATP finals.
The 11th-ranked Murray rallied to defeat David Ferrer 5-7, 6-2, 7-5 in a dramatic finish. The Scot lost a 2-0 lead in the deciding set but won four straight games from 5-3 down, ending the match with his ninth ace.
The second-seeded Scot, who improved to 30-14 in career finals, also won in Shenzhen in September to end a 14-month title drought.
Murray became the fifth active player with 30 or more titles alongside Roger Federer (81), Rafael Nadal (64), Novak Djokovic (46) and Lleyton Hewitt (30).
The victory also boosted Murray's chances of getting to the eight-man ATP finals in London next month. The Scot is in eighth position, one ahead of Ferrer, in the qualifying race to the prestigious season-ending event.
Murray improved to 8-6 against Ferrer, who had beaten the Scot in Shanghai 10 days ago. Ferrer dropped behind Murray but overtook Milos Raonic of Canada in the qualifying race to the finals.
SKIING
VIENNA (AP) - Downhill world champion Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway will likely miss the entire ski season after tearing his Achilles tendon while playing soccer.
The Norwegian ski federation said that Svindal sustained the injury in Austria on Saturday - eight days before the men's World Cup season starts with a giant slalom on the Rettenbach glacier in Soelden, Austria.
The season also includes the world championships in Vail and Beaver Creek in February, where Svindal was set to defend his downhill title.
Svindal said he was brought to a hospital in Innsbruck and underwent surgery shortly after.
The 31-year-old Norwegian has won 11 medals at major championships, including three at the Vancouver Olympics, where he won gold in super-G, silver in downhill and bronze in GS.
BOXING
MANILA, Philippines (AP) - Manny Pacquiao made his professional basketball debut on Sunday, just a month before he is set to defend his WBO welterweight crown.
Pacquiao started Sunday's game for the newly formed KIA Sorento of the Philippine Basketball Association but played only seven minutes and committed two turnovers in his team's 80-66 win over the Blackwater Elite at Philippine Arena.
The boxing icon, who joined the pro league team as a player-coach, played in a preseason game earlier this month, finishing with one point and two turnovers after a 10-minute stint.
Pacquiao said after the game he would take a break from his KIA duties to focus on the defense of his WBO welterweight crown on Nov. 22 in Macau against undefeated junior welterweight champion Chris Algieri.
ROWING
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) - The Vermont-based Craftsbury Sculling Center won the men's eights Sunday in the Head of the Charles Regatta and the Cambridge Boat Club took the women's race.
Both of the winning boats were ''Great Eights'' made up rowers whose primary experience is in single sculls or doubles, as opposed to sweepers, accustomed to rowing as part of an eight-person team.
Craftsbury, featuring world doubles champs Valentin and Martin Sinkovic of Croatia and Olympic singles gold medalist Mahe Drysdale of New Zealand, beat an all-star boat of Olympic and world medalists representing the London-based Taurus Boat Club by just over 3 seconds in 14 minutes, 20.24 seconds. Harvard was third.
The Cambridge BC's ''Great Eight'' of star scullers cruised to victory in the women's race, beating an entry from U.S. Rowing by 20 seconds in 15:44.80.
The Michigan Rowing Association won the collegiate men's eights, and Bates College took the women's race.
The Camp Randall Rowing Club of Madison, Wisconsin, won the men's fours, and U.S. Rowing finished first and second in the women's fours.
Also, the London (Ontario) Training Center won the men's lightweight fours, and Princeton took the women's race.
In the lightweight eights, Princeton took the men's field, and the Minerva Rowing Club won the women's race.
Hugh Mcadam of Craftsbury took the men's lightweight singles, and Caitlin Paul of Canada's Ridley Graduate BC won the women's race.
