Tom Brady vs. Peyton Manning: Round 14 – Stats & Info Blog – ESPN
Time to officially turn the page to the Broncos, arguably the marquee matchup of the NFL season, though both teams have been hit hard with injuries this season.
The big question is whether or not Aqib Talib is going to play. Dennard is already out. Kyle Arrington is fighting through a groin issue. If the Pats don’t have Talib it could get ugly.
All this led to speculation the Pats should sign Ras-I Dowling off the Jets’ practice squad. If Talib can’t go I’d be all for it. Otherwise it’s Logan Ryan and gimpy Arrington against the high-powered Broncos offense and oh boy…
At least if Talib can’t go, I pray Welker can’t either. Regardless Ninkovich, Chandler and the rest of the DL will need a big day to contain Manning and pals.
We’ll find out just how much grit this 2013 Pats team has Sunday night, that’s for sure.
