| DENVER -- Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos are heading to the Super Bowl after a 26-16 victory over Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. Manning threw for 400 yards and two touchdowns Sunday to lead Denver to its first trip to the NFL title game in 15 years.
It marks the next big step for Manning on a comeback from multiple neck surgeries that almost ended his career. He led the Broncos on a pair of 7-plus-minute touchdown drives, the second of which gave Denver a 20-3 lead. Manning improved to 5-10 lifetime against Brady but is now 2-1 in the AFC title games. The Patriots (13-5) got only 64 yards rushing and most of Brady's 277 yards came after New England had fallen behind by 20. Copyright 2014 by The Associated Press |
