The Broncos and Patriots are in the AFC Championship game for the second time in three years. What else could you want from life? The CUI has the breakdown.

WHEN THE BRONCOS PASS…

It’s no secret Peyton Manning is a shadow of his former self. After being pulled in the regular season due to throwing 17 interceptions and only nine touchdowns, Manning has come back and played more conservatively. In his game and a half since coming back, he hasn’t thrown a touchdown or turned the ball over, but has lead the offense to 27 and 23 points the last two games.
