Today at 4:25 p.m. ET, the Denver Broncos (6-1) and New England Patriots (6-2) take the field at Gillette Stadium in Foxorboro for Week 9 NFL action. The game can be live streamed here.Denver fans can tune into the game on 850 KOA, while New England fans can do the same on 98.5 The Sports Hub.
Denver enters play in search of its fifth straight win after a 35-21 triumph over the San Diego Chargers in Week 8 while New England is also looking for its fifth consecutive triumph after a 51-23 drubbing of the Chicago Bears last week. Both teams are looking to take control of the best record in the AFC.
It's two elite quarterbacks as Peyton Manning and Tom Brady rekindle their rivalry.
Manning is 174-for-252 for 2,134 yards with a league-best 22 touchdowns and three interceptions while Brady is 181-for-281 for 2,059 yards with 18 scores and two picks.
Manning and Brady have developed quite the rivalry through the years, but not everyone is tuning into a quarterback vs. quarterback matchup.
"At the end of the day, it's Broncos versus Patriots," Denver coach John Fox said, according to ESPN.
Brady, on the other hand, acknowledged the history between the two quarterbacks.
"Peyton has been a phenomenal player -- so consistent and durable for a long period of time," Brady told ESPN. "We've had a great rivalry in the AFC East (when Manning was with Indianapolis), and this year is no different."
Manning has a solid orray of weapons as Emmanuel Sanders caught all three of his touchdown passes last week while Damaryius Thomas has scored six touchdowns and has 47 receptions for a team-best 767 yards.
On the ground, Ronnie Hillman has paved the way for Denver, notching 349 rushing yards on 75 carries and reaching the end zone twice.
Brady also has plenty of weapons around him and perhaps none make more of an impact that tight end Rob Gronkowski, who has seven touchdowns this season and has caught 40 passes for 558 yards.
Running back Stevan Ridley has also been solid, rushing for 340 yards on 94 carries and adding two scores.
The Manning-Brady rivalry continues when the Patriots host the Broncos live this afternoon from Gillette Stadium.
