DENVER, Oct. 11 (UPI) -- Matt Prater's 41-yard field goal in overtime gave the unbeaten Denver Broncos a 20-17 victory Sunday over the New England Patriots.

Denver is off to a 5-0 start for the first time since 1998, when the Broncos went on to win the Super Bowl.

Prater kicked the game-winner just under 5 minutes into the extra session.

Denver's Kyle Orton connected on 35-of-48 passes for 330 yards and two touchdowns, both 11-yard throws to Brandon Marshall.

Tom Brady passed for touchdowns of 8 yards to Wes Welker and 7 yards to Ben Watson for the Patriots (3-2). Brady was 19-of-33 for 215 yards.
