Three hours before the AFC championship game kickoff, American Authors rehearsed their halftime performance.
“The Best Day of My Life” ricocheted off the bleachers, each equipped with orange pom poms. Will it be the a zenith moment for several Broncos players, most notably Peyton Manning and DeMarcus Ware? Both are team leaders. Manning, in possibly his last dance, seeks one more championship, a final decoration on a glittery resume. Ware, a nine-time Pro Bowler, has never played in a conference championship game.
Manning is an underdog for the first time with the Broncos in the playoffs. However, history smiles on Denver in this game.
