Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos are heading to the Super Bowl.
Behind another stellar defensive performance, the Broncos defeated the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots, 20-18, in Sunday's AFC Championship Game.
It marks the Broncos' second Super Bowl appearance in three years and Manning's fourth trip to the championship game.
The Broncos managed to hold on despite a Tom Brady touchdown pass to Rob Gronkowski with 12 seconds left. The Broncos intercepted Brady's pass on the two-point conversion attempt to all but seal the win.
