Tyler Shoemaker caught three touchdown receptions from Moore, who improved his career record to 40-2 as the Broncos (2-0) moved the ball through the air at will against the Rockets (1-2).
Moore completed 32-of-42 passes for 455 yards. It was the fourth time Moore threw five touchdown passes, and the third time he topped 400 yards. The 32 completions were a career-best.
