Miller and Harris back for this AFC title game vs. Brady

Newton admitted his team needs more killer instinct.

“They’re always well-prepared”, Belichick said. I have felt very fortunate to play 18 years like I have, and I know how hard I’ve worked to play this long. “This team is as seasoned as you can possibly be in this business”. I went against Davis a lot when I was in Atlanta and he’s one of the best linebackers in the game.

TG: “They have to get after Brady, which is something they struggled with in their last game against the Steelers”. This defense is going to create chaos and cause Brady to have a bad day at the office. The answer is nothing!

The only defense better per pass than the Panthers is the Broncos. The edge goes to the Broncos on defense. It looks like Scott Chandler is going to play, which is big because he is a great blocker. On the other hand, the Patriots like to cheat…

Neither player likes talking about the other, often insisting that it’s about the teams and not the two quarterbacks.

If football were a classroom, Manning would be a straight A student except in the subject of Belichick and Brady, where he can’t get better than a C-. “There’s definitely high respect from me and I appreciate some of the things he’s said about me as well”.

Although it hasn’t been confirmed that Manning will be the starting quarterback, it is highly unlikely that he will make way for Brock Osweiler, who played a big part in Denver’s 30-24 overtime victory over New England during the regular season.

Felipe: Defensively, I’ve heard you compare the Broncos to the 1985 Chicago Bears and the 2000 Baltimore Ravens. With the Broncos having the best defense in the league, all eyes will be on the Patriots to see if they can continue to put up numbers like they did in the regular season. Aside from being the most watched television event every year, this upcoming installment has been mercilessly hyped since Week 1 in early September, including (but not limited to) that garish golden hue that has adorned the 50-yard line in every single game this season.

“All I can say about Tom Brady is that he plays the position the way it’s supposed to be played”. New England beat the Chiefs 27-20. Most recently, Manning has had the upper hand; the last two times he faced New England in the playoffs, Manning emerged victorious.

Tom Brady has to face a historically, wonderful defense?

Brady-Manning? The two rank 5-6 with almost identical career passer ratings, reflective of ball security. If anyone can do it, Tom Brady can. The only player on the active roster that did not practice was special teams maven Matthew Slater, who is dealing with a shin injury. Similar to what New England will try to do, expect the Bronco’s offense to dip and dunk down the field. “So break out your jeans and jerseys one more time because the march to the Super Bowl continues, and our fans have their back every step of the way”.
