The road to Superbowl 50 goes through Denver. The Patriots will be heading out west to face the Broncos. Fans are excited about the match up, and eager to see two hall of fame quarterbacks go head to head, maybe for the last time.
Fans in Foxboro are still soaking in Saturday’s big playoff win.
“It’s the best thing ever and the last game was beyond belief! It was so exciting!” said Carol Bourne of Revere, Mass.
The Pro Shop at Gillette Stadium is buzzing with excitement as Pats Nation looks ahead to the team’s next opponent.
“We’re going to crush the Broncos!” exclaimed fan Harrison Prohaska of Millbury, Mass.
Next Sunday’s match up will put two quarter back greats head to head one more time.
“I think we should soak it in. I don’t know how much longer Manning’s got left. Brady’s got plenty left in the tanks so this might be the last time that we get to see that match up and I’m excited for what Brady is going to do out there. You don’t see a lot of teams lose to the same teams twice in a year,” said Pats fan E.J. Kritz of Bedford, NH.
“It’s a classic rivalry. Its and epic game. It could be Manning’s last season., so who knows. It’s nice to see two juggernauts go at it,” said Aaron Hill, a Pats fan visiting from Columbus, OH.
The game will be played in Denver, but die hard New England fans say not having home field advantage won’t stop the Pats from doing their job.
“After seeing Peyton yesterday I have no hesitation,” said Shari Golman of Sharon, Mass. “He’s terrible! No arm. He’s had umpteen surgeries he’s going no where. Bring it. I don’t even care. I’m not worried at all!”
Sports Anchor’s Ken Bell and Nick Coit are heading to Denver later this week. They’ll begin their reports on the AFC Championship game Friday night on ABC6.
