November 2nd, 2014 Broncos vs Patriots resulted in a 43 to 21 SPANKING by the Patriots. The Broncos were fielding one of the best quarter backs ever (Manning).
The Broncos lost that game because they couldn't stop Brady (4 TDs) & the Pats offense, not because of Manning (although he did throw 2 INTs).
And then Manning came back to beat the Patriots in the playoffs that same year with a great game.
