“Certainly that was a motivating factor for us”.

Thankfully for Von, the Dallas Cowboys parted ways with DeMarcus Ware, and he ended up signing with the Denver Broncos.
“Hey, listen, this might be my last rodeo”, Manning told the Patriots head coach after the game.
Denver’s Peyton Manning is one of the game’s all-time great quarterbacks, but that description does not apply right now. It is important to establish the run game for Peyton Manning to have the most success.
Stephen Gostkowski was feeling down after the New England Patriots lost to the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship Game, but Blair Walsh has been there. Manning’s first three Super Bowl appearances came in seasons in which his defense ranked 23rd, eighth, and 22nd. Brady’s numbers in 31 games: 62.4 percent completion, 56 TDs, 28 INTs, an 88.0 passer rating, 6.7 yards per attempt, and 256.7 yards per game. Brady had 310 yards passing, but just one touchdown with two interceptions.
No doubt the Panthers’ defense will be ready for Manning.
Once (Newton) gets to the game, he will be fine, Montana said.
Manning would also be the second Hall of Fame quarterback to turn a Broncos Super Bowl berth into his final National Football League game.
– Newton and the Panthers, meanwhile, look unstoppable.
And then you have his former Baltimore Ravens teammate, starting free safety Darian Stewart. With Newton, you get Superman struts and pantomimes.
The Broncos running game has been a mystery all season. It’s surprising that it’s only by four points. He also caught two passes for 52 yards.
Not even Norv Turner in San Diego had to deal with the scrutiny that was immediately placed on Kubiak a year ago. “Yes, it was personal”, he said.
Given the number of hits he took in Sunday’s AFC title game, it’s no surprise, but Tom Brady has reportedly pulled out of the Pro Bowl. The Broncos did it with pressure off the edges and elite cornerback play. Not because it burnished one legacy and diminished another, but because it showed that the criteria we use to judge a quarterback often has as much to do with the players around him as it does the man himself.
In truth, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see more Patriots pull out of the game, as numerous other five who were named to play in the game – including defensive end Chandler Jones and special teams captain Matthew Slater – were all nursing injuries at the end of the season. After about 20 minutes, the problem was fixed.
Stewart has brought the pain all year for the Broncos, and it has paid off tremendously for Wade Phillips and his staff. There’s no reason to believe these guys won’t continue to play a huge role as the Broncos compete for a Super Bowl championship, proving once and for all how phenomenal John Elway and the scouting department are at discovering diamonds in the rough.
“One hundred percent, we follow him and the decisions he makes”, long-snapper Joe Cardona said as he cleaned out his belongings in a somber locker room on Monday.

Allen injured his foot in the NFC divisional round victory over the Seattle Seahawks, and Rivera didn’t feel comfortable playing Allen on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.
