If Denver wins the Super Bowl, Broncos safety Mike Adams plans to walk from the stadium to his hometown of Paterson, New Jersey wearing his helmet and shoulder pads.

It's a Tom Brady-Peyton Manning QB showdown in the AFC Championship game in Denver on Sunday. But it's the battered Broncos defense that might be the key to the game. "It's going to be easier pickings (for Brady)," John Madden told the CBS Radio morning crew. "But when you play in a championship game, there are really no easy pickings."
The good news: either Manning or Brady will get to go to another Super Bowl. The bad news: one of them will not, and be denied adding more to his legacy yet again.
