The Patriots will face the Broncos in the AFC championship game, which means another Brady-Manning matchup.
This will be the 17th face-off between Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.
Brady has the clear edge, beating Manning 11 of the last 16 matchups. In the playoffs, the quarterbacks are tied, two games each. Manning won the last time, sending the Broncos to the Superbowl two years ago.
The Pats punched their ticket on Saturday, beating the Chiefs who came in with an 11 game winning streak.
New England was back to near full strength after what seemed like an injury plagued season.
