This week in the NFL was the Conference Championships. This is basically the semi-finals. The match-ups were the New England Patriots on the road against the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship and the Seattle Seahawks who hosted the San Fransico 49ers.
The AFC
The New England Patriots were on the road in Denver at the Sports Authority at Mile High Field where they met a tragic end to their season whereas the Denver Broncos continue their season to the Super Bowl where they meet the winner of the NFC Championship game.
The Game
The Patriots started off with the ball only to turn it over three plays later. The Broncos were efficient on their drive as they put 3 points on the board courtesy of Matt Prater. The Patriots were ineffective on their next drive. Their running game was in pieces with one yard from three runs. The Broncos went up 10 points with a one yard touchdown from Jacob Tamme thrown by Peyton Manning. Denver went 13-3 up with a another field goal from Matt Prater and a field goal by Stephen Gostkowski for New England.
Second Half
Denver went 20-3 up with a 3 yard touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas and New England's hopes of New York seemed to be fading. Ten minutes later in the fourth quarter Matt Prater kicked another field goal and Denver seemed to be heading for the Super Bowl. But Tom didn't get that memo as he drove down the field in less than 3 minutes to bring the Patriots back. Denver responded with a field goal but Tom refused to give up as Tom ran in for the touchdown to bring it with 2 scores. However Peyton Manning refused to lose to Tom agiai this season and held out ti win to send the Denver Broncos to Super Bowl XLVIII. Enjoy Watching!
