Sneaker . It will be their 15th head-to-head meeting and fourth in
the post-season (Sunday at 2pm et/11am pt on CTV) and for his part, Brady isnt
downplaying just how big the game is for him. "Im excited - Its everything you
could ask for as an athlete," the New England Patriots quarterback told WEEI
Radio in Boston on Monday. "We have a great opportunity ahead of us. It would be
as satisfying a victory as weve ever had to go to Denver and win this game."
With a trip to the Super Bowl on the line, theres no shortage of motivation for
Sundays game, but its another chance for the two to stake claim to the title
best QB of their generation. Brady owns the series edge over Manning 10-4 and is
2-1 head-to-head in the postseason. Sundays game will tie the two for most
postseason meetings with other iconic rivals Brett Favre and Steve Young, and
Terry Bradshaw and Ken Stabler. Brady knows as well as anyone about the
challenge Manning and the Broncos offence presents. "Hes got great command of
the offence," he said. "He can pretty much do whatever he wants. He obviously
has a lot of confidence in what hes doing and he has confidence in the guys
around him. "Once he sees the coverage, he tries to get the plays that can beat
the coverage. It really forces the defense to play very solid, to cover
everything. Because if you dont then he does a great job finding the holes."
While the Broncos finished the regular season atop the AFC standings and will
enjoy home field advantage on Sunday, the Patriots came out ahead in their only
meeting this season, a 34-31 overtime win in late November. Still, Brady says
that means little come game time. "Theres nothing thats happened in the past
thats going to help us try to win this game on Sunday," he said. "Well be able
to take some things from the game we played and study them and prepare for them.
But well have different things to do, theyll have different things to do. Their
team is different than from when they played us, and were pretty different from
when we played them." Denver opens the week as 4 1/2 point favourites, but Brady
puts little stock in what the experts think ahead of the game. "Truthfully, I
dont turn the TV on, I dont read anything," he said. I just try to focus on what
I need to do. "Im sure no ones going to pick us to win this week. Weve had our
backs against the wall for a while. Really the whole season weve lost players
and teams have really counted us out. "Weve got a bunch of underdogs on our
team, and well be an underdog again. Well see how that shapes up here at the end
of the week. But I know that were as tough and physical as weve ever been, and
thats the way were going to need to go out and play this game."

way after an early interception had memories of some recent mistakes creeping
into his mind. The rookie quarterback threw a touchdown pass and ran for another
score as the New York Jets suddenly resurgent offence set a season high for
points and stopped a three-game skid with a 37-27 victory over the Oakland
Raiders on Sunday. "Man, we needed that in the worst way," coach Rex Ryan said,
"to say the least." Chris Ivory had a touchdown run, Nick Folk kicked three
field goals and Antonio Allen blocked a punt and returned it for a score to help
the Jets (6-7) avoid their first four-game losing streak under Ryan. Smith ended
a miserable stretch that included getting benched last week by throwing his
first touchdown toss since Week 7. He finished 16 of 25 for 219 yards, and ran
five times for 50 yards -- and was able to overcome his 20th interception of the
season, which led to a field goal for the Raiders. "I cant sit here and say Im
not human because it is difficult," Smith said. "When you have those struggles
and you come out and, the first quarter and first half, you have an interception
near the 50-yard line and you kind of start to think about those things, all of
those mistakes in the past." Smith got a boost on the sideline from his
teammates, who urged him to hang in there and not lose his confidence. "Thats
the mark of this young man," Ryan said. "Hes a resilient guy and has shown he
can bounce back. It was an excellent performance on his part, and really, the
team in general." Matt McGloin threw two touchdown passes and fullback
Marcel Reece, starting because Oakland was down three injured running backs, had
a 63-yard touchdown run for the Raiders (4-9). Oakland has lost three straight
overall, and 13 in a row in games played in the Eastern time zone. "Today is as
bad as we played this whole season," Raiders safety Charles Woodson said. "It
was really embarrassing to be part of it. We looked like the Bad News Bears out
there." With the Jets leading 3-0 after Folks 41-yard field goal, Smith was
picked off by Kevin Burnett. The sparse crowd at MetLife Stadium booed loudly,
but Sebastian Janikowski missed a 52-yard field goal. Despite Smiths turnover,
offfensive co-ordinator Marty Mornhinweg went right back to the pass on the next
drive.

down with for a 25-yard touchdown and a 10-0 lead. "I just went up and got it,"
said Kerley, playing for the first time since dislocating his left elbow on Nov.
3. "It felt like backyard football." It was Smiths first TD pass since Oct. 20
against New England and his second in eight games. It was also New Yorks first
touchdown of any kind in nine quarters. Terrelle Pryor came in at quarterback on
Oaklands third offensive series to help offset the Raiders lack of running backs
with Darren McFadden, Rashad Jennings and Jeremy Stewart all inactive with
injuries. He led a drive capped by a 41-yard field goal by Janikowski. Then
McGloin returned and, on third-and-9 from the 3, Ed Reed got his 62nd career
interception and first with the Jets. Folk later made a 23-yard field goal.
Allen blocked Marquette Kings punt, recovered it and returned it for a touchdown
to put New York ahead 20-3 in the second quarter. Oakland got on the scoreboard
right away in the second half as Reece zipped up the middle for a 63-yard
touchdown. He finished with 123 yards on 19 carries. But the Jets came right
back as Smith ran for an 8-yard score, his fourth of the season. McGloin
connected with Rod Streater on a 48-yard touchdown pass on a ball threaded
between Reed and Antonio Cromartie, who smacked into each other. The Jets said
Cromartie has a head injury, but he finished the game. Ivory blasted into the
end zone from 15 yards, slipping out of three tackle attempts and dragging a
fourth Raiders defender over the goal line for a 37-20 lead. The play was set up
by Smiths 32-yard scramble. McGloin, 18 of 31 for 245 yards, connected with
Mychal Rivera on a 1-yard touchdown with 2:24 remaining. "Were out of
lifelines," Jets guard Willie Colon said. "We have to execute and have to get it
done, and today was the first step." NOTES: With 2,475 yards passing, Smith
passed Mark Sanchez (2,444 in 2009) for the most by a rookie in franchise
history. ... Raiders coach Dennis Allen said TE Nick Kasa and DT Vance Walker
suffered concussions, and LB Sio Moore had a neck injury, but he returned.
