We have reached the penultimate weekend of the NFL season (not counting the Pro Bowl next week). Today's game will feature the top two teams from each conference facing off for a spot in Super Bowl 50 two weeks from today. The first game on the schedule today will be the New England Patriots at the Denver Broncos for the AFC Championship.
Neither team took the easy route to today's game. The Patriots, who started the season dominating everyone in their way, were decimated by injuries late in the year and lost four of their last six contests.
