New England Patriots 43 Denver Broncos 21 = Brady vs Manning 16 recap

This has been the 16th episode of Manning vs Brady and this fight between Titans is always something worth to be watched! Manning vs Brady is not just an important game for the postseason's spot but also because in fans' mind there is always a question "Who is the best between those 2?" or  "Is 1 of them the best QB of all time?" and i think the last question is legitimated by the performances of those 2 great QB's in all their career, I think the NE prepared this match better then Denver did and again we saw the great knowledge of Bill Belichick especially on the defensive side putting more players outside to stop the great Broncos' passing game being strong inside with a strong team performance and in particulary the powerfull DT Vince Wilfork and the OLB Collins who put the pressure from al sides.
Brady seemed to regain his old shape thanks with a better protection compared to the one we saw in first 5 weeks and also with the improvement of WR Brandon LaFell who is helping so much the Pats in last weeks.
Peyton Manning has not been great as he always is, he has not been in a perfect syncro with his WR's an he made a pair of bad decisions that Pats' defense made him pay with 2 interceptions and the 1 of Ninkovich on a drop coverage confused and make think Denver's offense a way more than they usually do and this had a bad effect on Denver's confidence, something that didn't happen to NE, that has been able to throw especially inside the number with huge result, they did it with quick slants and out of play-actions to both WR's and TE's. Even in special teams NE played better then Denver and they scored a TD on a punt return with Edelman who had a great game.
Another remarkable performance has been made by Brandon Browner who has been able to match the physical presence of Julius Thomas and limited him as much as possible.
The Patriots win has been well deserved and re-bring them in to the top of NFL power rankings.
On the Broncos' side they need to improve away from the Sport's Authority Field but it's true that a bad game doesn't mean anything but it open up lot of questions about the if they truly are a SB contenders. By the way i can't wait to see the 17th episode of this huge rivarly.
