Peyton Manning has his defense to thank for the win.
Cornerback Bradley Roby saved the game by picking off Tom Brady's pass on a 2-point try with 12 seconds left to preserve a 20-18 victory for the Broncos over the Patriots Sunday in the AFC title game.

Denver (14-4) will face Arizona or Carolina for the title on Feb. 7.
New England had to go for 2 after Brady's 4-yard touchdown to Rob Gronkowski because Stephen Gostkowskimissed an extra point in the first quarter, snapping a string of 523 straight makes.
Manning threw two touchdowns but the 39-year-old QB's best play may have very well been his 12-yard scramble on third down in the third quarter — his longest playoff run since he was a rookie.
