For the first time in a decade the 1's and 2's from each conference square off.
The histories of the four quarterbacks at heading up the Championship contenders could not be much more different. Manning and Brady have done this all before: each has a number of AFC Championships to their name. Each is one of the most successful postseason quarterbacks ever.
The most important player in this game is Manning, but not for the reasons that have always held true in the past. He is no longer the reason the Broncos will win, but he could very well be the reason they lose.
