(1) Brady vs. Manning rivalry continues as both QBs prepare for historic showdown.
Sunday will mark the thirteenth time quarterbacks Tom Brady and Peyton Manning have faced off (including the postseason). In their first twelve meetings, as members of the Patriots and Colts, respectively, Brady won eight games, doubling Manning’s win total, 8-4.

When Peyton Manning returned from multiple neck surgeries this season, we didn't know what to expect from the All Pro signal caller. It's been a mixed bag so far in 2012. Manning has looked like his old self at times this season. He had great games against Pittsburgh and Oakland, picking back up where he left off with his no huddle, high-speed offense.

Brady's big performance against the Bills on Sunday netted him the honor for the 21st time, which ties Peyton Manning's mark for the most Player of the Week awards earned by a player since the accolade was instituted in 1984.
