Here we go – Peyton Manning’s swan song against Tom Brady in the AFC Championship game? Are you ready for some football!!
The Broncos beat the Steelers 23-16 and will advance to the AFC Championship game where they will host the New England Patriots. Manning vs. Brady – Kubiak vs. Belichick – game on!
Manning and Brady are 2-2 against each other in the playoffs with Manning beatings Brady’s Patriots once with the Colts and once with the Broncos when they advanced to Super Bowl XLVIII and lost to the Seahawks.
In the regular season Brady is 9-4 against Manning’s teams. This is it! The showdown at Sports Authority at Mile High Stadium will feature two of the greatest quarterbacks to ever put on a uniform.
The Broncos overcame the Steelers with a late TD drive from Peyton Manning capped by a short C.J. Anderson run. While the Steelers led for most of the game it was near certain that Denver would eventually get something going offensively and they did.
The Broncos advance to their second AFC Championship game in the Peyton Manning era and will be looking to win the rubber-match against Tom Brady’s Patriots. Manning and Brady are 2-2 against each other in the playoffs with Manning beating Brady’s Patriots once as a Colt and once as a Bronco.
