There will be touchdowns this Sunday — and oh so much more.
Manning will give a breezy pregame interview to NBC in which he wears an open-collar shirt and waxes eloquent on the state of the Broncos.
We'll also be reminded of how Manning and the Colts sadly parted ways.
Brady will wear his special winter hat to stay warm.
Manning's knee will be a topic of much attention.
Manning's right knee was heavily padded last week against Kansas City, and he played effectively through whatever ill effects he was still experiencing from this hit the week before against Jacksonville. He also wasn't knocked down one time against the Chiefs, and it'll be up to Denver's O-line to keep that streak intact against a weak Patriots pass rush. (More on that below.)
