Watch New England Patriots Vs. Denver Broncos Live Online: Free Streaming, AFC Championship Game
The New England Patriots face the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship game Sunday, and fans can watch the game streaming live online legally and for free to see what will likely be the final matchup between two living legends of the NFL quarterback position — New England’s Tom Brady and Denver’s Peyton Manning. The two sure-fire Hall of Famers played against each other 16 times in their celebrated careers.
While Manning has given no indication that he plans to hang up his cleats after the current season, whether it ends with the AFC Championship game on Sunday or two weeks later in the Super Bowl, at age 39 he turned in the weakest season of his career, appearing in only 10 regular season games and finishing with a career-worst 67.9 passer rating.
In perhaps the most shocking statistic of a shockingly poor year for Manning, he threw for just nine touchdowns while getting picked for 17 interceptions — just two years after setting an NFL record with a mind-boggling 55 touchdown passes. Manning threw just 10 interceptions that season.
Both the Patriots and Broncos finished at 12-4, but the Broncos secured the top seed in the AFC and home field in the Championship game by virtue of their Week 12 30-24 overtime victory over the Patriots in Denver. But Manning did not play in that game, with backup quarterback Brock Osweiler leading the Broncos to that narrow win.
