About The Game:
Who: The New England Patriots (13-3) host the Denver Broncos (8-8, 1-0 in playoffs).
What: One of two AFC divisional playoff games scheduled for this weekend — tomorrow, the Baltimore Ravens host the Houston Texans in the other AFC match-up.
Where: Foxboro, MA. Televised on CBS (Channel 12).
When: Pre-game begins at 7, with kickoff set for 8 p.m.
History: The Patriots had last week off by virtue of finishing first in the AFC during the regular season. Denver, behind QB Tim Tebow, defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers in overtime last week to advance to tonight's game.
New England and Denver last met on Dec. 18, with the Patriots winning, 41-23.
The Patriots secured the top spot in the AFC with eight straight wins; Denver lost its last three regular season games, but earned a playoff berth based on tiebreakers against its divisional opponents.
Future: With a win, the Patriots will host the winner of tomorrow's Baltimore-Houston game. Denver, as the lowest seed in the AFC playoffs, would travel to play the Ravens or the Texans for the right to play in Super Bowl XLVI.
