Another way to look at Manning-Brady duel

It will be Tom Brady versus Peyton Manning yet again.

Manning threw for 222 yards against the Steelers, with his receivers dropping no fewer than seven passes.

Despite his injuries, Roethlisberger played in the Steelers’ divisional-round clash with the Denver Broncos but could not prevent Pittsburgh from slipping to a 23-16 defeat.

Manning shrugged off the drops and said that the weather was a significant factor in the team’s offensive miscues.

For Belichick, even if Manning knows the look the Pats come out in, that doesn’t spell doom for the defense. Arizona was down at the half and then allowed a scoring drive late in the fourth quarter, which sent the game to overtime. You know me, I’ll never use an injury as an excuse. The ball was quickly recovered by DeMarcus Ware.

“We fought hard. Just not enough today”.

The Pittsburgh Steelers injury-riddled season has come up short.

Brady has long gotten the better of Manning, who is 5-11 lifetime against his counterpart, but 2-2 in the playoffs, including a win two years ago in this stadium.

The home team has won the previous four playoff games pitting Brady and Manning.

Former Ravens coach Brian Billick also said Saturday that while Roethlisberger might be the toughest quarterback in the National Football League, he can be “a drama queen” when it comes to his injuries. “It’s emotional for everybody because everybody appreciates everybody else’s effort”. We got into the playoffs by the Bills helping us out, then you beat the Bengals at the end, you just kind of felt like destiny, or whatever you want to call it was kind of on your side. To further pummel this dead horse, Ben Roethlisberger threw for 339 with a bum shoulder and no Antonio Brown on Sunday. Toussaint rushed 12 times for 39 yards and a score, but fumbled in the fourth quarter that set the Broncos up for their only touchdown.

Peyton Manning seized the moment, driving the Broncos to their only touchdown. We had some good field position early and we had to settle for field goals. He kicked a 51-yarder through swirling winds as time expired in the second quarter, and Denver trailed 10-9 at halftime. Toussaint followed with a pair of runs, including a 1-yarder for the touchdown to put the Steelers up 7-6. “He’s gonna taper what he thinks is best for his team against the offense that they’re playing and try to stop the people that he needs to stop and apply pressure and create turnovers the way that he feels best about doing it”. “Starting with the very first one, right?”
