Two quarterbacks who couldn’t throw faced off on Sunday and the one named Peyton Manning walked away with the win, setting up a showdown against the Patriots for the AFC Championship next Sunday in Denver.
Overall, the Patriots haven’t fared well in the postseason against the Broncos, sitting with a record of 1-2 since 2001 in the postseason, with the most recent playoff loss in Denver happening back after the 2013 season when New England lost in the AFC Championship game to Peyton Manning and the Broncos 26-16 back on January 19, 2014.
The situation back then was a little different.
