NFL legendary quarterbacks Tom Brady and Peyton Manning will slug it out for the 16^th time in their careers in Sunday's pivotal matchup between the New England Patriots and the Denver Broncos at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

Money on the Line:  The Patriots will try to sustain their strong run after winning four games in a row. With divisional rivals Miami Dolphins (5-3) and the Buffalo Bills (5-3) making their presence felt this season, New England just cannot afford to have another collapse like they dealt with in the first four games of their regular-season campaign.

On the other hand, the Broncos are also boasting a four-game winning streak and are currently two games ahead of division rivals San Diego Chargers (5-3). Nevertheless, Denver is usually expected to bring their A-game, especially in this magnitude of a showdown.

Hours before the game, snow poured on heavily in Foxborough area and left a three-inch blanket of snow on the field of Gillette Stadium. According to analysts, the snow along with the chilling temperature will certainly play a big role in the match.
