To be honest...the worst of both teams came out last night, and it was a bit shocking to see.
Peyton and Brady threw some really ugly picks...and Denver's defense really collapsed in the 2nd half.
I can honestly say now that I do not feel Denver is the dominant team they seemed like in the beginning of the season. They seem good, but not great. If I were a betting man, I'd put money on the Pats when they play Denver again (if they do in the playoffs that is). And with the Patriots cup cake schedule finishing out the season (for the most part), I think you'll see a change of guard in that 1st seed spot.
NFC just looks abysmal this year. The Lombardi will remain in the AFC again in 2013/14.
