The time has come. On a Broncos 2015 schedule packed with contenders, rivals and great individual matchups, the big one is here. There is no doubt that Broncos fans had this one circled way back in the spring. The two teams have not disappointed leading up to the game, as the Broncos [8-2] and the New England Patriots [10-0] are entering their primetime game playing at elite levels.

The Broncos have been in the headlines due to their quarterback situation while the Patriots are simply going about their business in nauseatingly efficient fashion. The defending Super Bowl Champions grabbed their headlines this offseason with a football deflation scandal that blew up [no pun intended] into a full-fledged investigation and eventual litigation. Since then, they have not skipped a beat and come into town the favorites in the Broncos’ house. Three players will have to excel and take advantage of the few weaknesses the Patriots possess in order for the Broncos to come away with a huge win both in the standings and in the minds of the payers as they head on a collision course for a possible rematch in the postseason.
