On Sunday, Denver trailed with less than 10 minutes to play against Pittsburgh before veteran quarterback Peyton Manning led the Broncos on their only touchdown drive of the game to direct a 23-16 victory over the Steelers.

Jackson said he never says anything to Brady after hitting him, and that Jackson reserves his trash talk to the offensive lineman.
Not Sunday, though. The Broncos quarterback will take in his customary spot in the huddle. Manning will have a chance to rewrite his legacy against Brady and potentially go out on top in the Super Bowl.
Despite their shortcomings on defense, the Cheifs scored a touchdown in the waning moments of the game to shrink the Patriots’ lead to seven points.
Here’s the schedule for the conference championship game and the Super Bowl.
A sixth-round draft pick who spent his rookie year as the No. 4 quarterback on the Patriots’ depth chart, Brady has grown into a four-time National Football League champion and a three-time Super Bowl MVP.
“In the NFC, it’ll be Cam Newton leading his team against the Cardinals and standout receiver Larry Fitzgerald“.
For Carolina, this is their fourth time to play in the NFC Championship game.
In the NFC Championship Game (6:40 p.m. ET Sunday), the host Carolina Panthers opened as 3-point favorites over the Arizona Cardinals.
“We’ve known each other for a long time, being in the same profession for all these years and at different events, we’ve developed a good friendship”, Brady said during his weekly appearance on Boston’s sports radio station WEEI.
“I’m honored to be a part of it and I’m looking forward to playing next week in the AFC championship”, Manning said.

Harris suffered a bone bruise on his left shoulder in the Broncos’ regular-season finale and told the Post he played with “one arm” on Sunday. He also leans heavily on the running game. Amusing enough, in his first attempt, QB Brock Osweiller defeated Brady in a thrilling overtime game while Manning was sidelined with an injury. Big Ben will find way to move the ball better than Manning and will be able to get after that defense. And the center of it all is tight end Rob Gronkowski. “They were on the same side, so I thought I could run and make it”.
