Tom Brady has more TD passes than Peyton Manning in Denver this season

Not too long ago, the consensus was that we would never be treated to another Tom Brady-Peyton Manning matchup. Manning had suffered a sudden fall from grace due to a foot injury and was eventually benched for Brock Osweiler, leaving several questions about his future in the NFL. 

That now feels like ages ago as the two are once again standing atop the AFC and will meet for the 17th time next Sunday with a trip to Super Bowl 50 on the line. It will be Brady and the New England Patriots traveling to Denver to take on Manning's Broncos, but there may not be much of a home-field advantage after looking at the statistics.

Incredibly, Brady has better numbers than Manning in Denver this season, despite playing five fewer games. It's hard to believe, but Brady actually has thrown more touchdown passes (3) than Manning (1) at Sports Authority Field at Mile High this season.

In his lone trip to Denver, Brady threw for 280 yards, three touchdowns and had zero interceptions. In six games at home -- including Sunday's win over the Steelers -- Manning has thrown for 1,054 yards, one touchdown and has eight interceptions. Needless to say, those numbers aren't good by any means.

Of course, playoff matchups are entirely different, and it's not just Manning and Brady playing. The rest of their teams are, too. The Patriots appear to be back to their winning ways from early in the season, while the Broncos defense continues to dominate. 

Brady-Manning XVII should be a lot of fun, and could be the last meeting between the two all-time greats.
