Broncos Advance to AFC Championship Game

The Denver Broncos pulled off a thrilling victory in the divisional round against the Steelers. When faced with adversity, Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos managed to score 14 unanswered points to pull away from the Steelers late. With the win, the Denver Broncos are slated to take on the New England Patriots at home.

Tom Brady gets to face Peyton Manning for, perhaps, the last time ever in the AFC Championship game. The Denver Broncos hold home field advantage, so it should be a hard-fought game between the two. The last time the Patriots came into Denver, they squandered a big lead and saw Brock Osweiler lead the Denver Broncos to a come-from-behind victory.
