T.j. Ward:

Brady in the postseason has faced the #1 defense three times, all of them on the road. The Patriots are 3-0 in those games and in all three instances went on to win the Super Bowl

Tickets for the game will only be sold to those with a billing address in the Rocky Mountain region, including Colorado, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, South Dakota, Utah, western Kansas and Wyoming.

The meeting was expected to be a typical Brady – Manning shootout when the schedule was released, but expect this one to be much more defensive oriented. The Patriots will have to be creative on offense with all the injuries against the Denver defense.

The Denver defense led by their pass rush of Von Miller, DeMarcus Ware and Shane Ray keys the top pass defense in the NFL. They’ll be looking to shut down Tom Brady just like they did with Aaron Rodgers.
