Pre-Super Bowl star power abounds in semifinals
Tom Brady of New England faces Denver and Peyton Manning on Sunday
AFC, NFC title games 'as good as it gets'
Written by

Division rivals. Coaching rivals. Quarterback rivals. Unpredictable weather. And plenty of drama in store.
Indeed — with Broncos-Patriots and Seahawks-49ers — the NFL has perhaps exactly what it wants in the conference championships Sunday.
Inside all of that is a guarantee that the Super Bowl matchup will be, well, super.
In the AFC, the Peyton Manning-Tom Brady rematch in the Denver-New England game is an epic qualifier for the Super Bowl.
The NFC, though, features fierce division rivals, two of the best young quarterbacks around, and a prickly relationship between head coaches with the Seattle-San Francisco game. The Seahawks are so good at home and CenturyLink Field is so loud, that the stadium is a story in itself.
