#Broncos win the toss, defer. #Patriots will start on offense. They started on defense last meeting
— PatriotsInsider (@PatriotsInsider) January 19, 2014
#Patriots go 3 and out to start the game.
— Dov Kleiman (@NFL_RealUpdates) January 19, 2014
#Broncos offense looks smooth so far. Hopefully that’s not a sign of things to come for the #Patriots.

#Patriots D bends a bit but forces a punt. Boith teams feeling each other out still.#AFCChampionship

There goes McDaniels with the atrocious play call on 3rd down. #patriots
— Rebecca (@RDawnA7) January 19, 2014
Wait, Matt Slater was going to catch a pass? #Patriots #AFCChampionship
— Kyle Goodman (@da_goodman) January 19, 2014
3rd & long…the longstanding Achilles heel of the Pats defense #Patriots
— Wayfarer '99 (@wayfarer_99) January 19, 2014
Who knew Demariyus Thomas is better at catching 3rd down passes than Matt Slater? #patriots
— JP Kirby (@the506) January 19, 2014
#Patriots get a stop in the redzone. For what it's worth, defense has largely showed up today.
— PatriotsLife (@PatriotsLife) January 19, 2014
Denver first on the board, 3-0. Given the way Manning was throwing on that drive, #Patriots will take it, no?
— Steve Buckley (@BuckinBoston) January 19, 2014
Yeah! We got a first down! Go #Patriots!!
— Darnell Clayton (@Darnell) January 19, 2014
That overthrow by the #Patriots is why you don't have tiny whiteboy receivers.
— Andrew 3000 (@AR_Daugherty) January 19, 2014
Penalty for a pick play on the #Patriots???thats all the #Broncos do.
— AWOL Colin (@colhu7) January 19, 2014
That was a huge penalty by #Patriots Took them out of FG range.

#Patriots - nonono: 3rd and 2 throw short. 3rd and 20 throw long. You're welcome.

#Broncos 3 #Patriots 0 at the end of the 1st Quarter.

Jamie Collins AGAIN, this time stuffing the run. He brings so much energy. #Patriots #NEvsDEN
— Dylan Ehle (@PaleEhle) January 19, 2014
Jamie Collins has some Stretch Armstrong qualities... #Patriots #Broncos
— Matt Chatham (@chatham58) January 19, 2014
Yikes. Just what we needed. Aqib Talib down and getting attention from trainers. That's our DOG! #Patriots
— Brendan Fitzgerald (@FITZonFOX25) January 19, 2014
If talib is lost, so could this game for the #patriots. The last good corner they have. Peyton's eyes just got bigger.. #broncos
— Dave Ross (@drosssports) January 19, 2014
Talib is a big loss. Shocking cheap shot by Welker. Against his former team. Hope Talib can return #Patriots
— Ross Nicholas (@ross_irl) January 19, 2014
huge run by Moreno on 3rd&10 - 28 yards to the #Patriots 7 #NEvsDEN
— Coach Roth (@CoachRoth) January 19, 2014
#Patriots putting on a how NOT to tackle show. So many missed tackles.
— Rick Berry (@rickberry18) January 19, 2014
Touchdown. Peyton Manning with a 1-yard touchdown pass to Jacob Tamme. #Broncos lead #Patriots, 10-0, with 7:50 to play in the 1st half.

Denver TD brought to you by our ref calling a hold on an obvious pick .. #Patriots pic.twitter.com/82s06ogdou
— Jimmy Beam (@greygoose59) January 19, 2014
That was a cockpunch of a TD drive. Lost Talib. Heard "Omaha" too much. Heard announcers talk about #Omaha too much. #Patriots
— Accordion Man (@AccordionPower) January 19, 2014
Tom Brady should use "Lincoln" in his play calling, creating a conundrum for the good people of Nebraska. #Patriots
— Roby Brown (@RobyMB) January 19, 2014
Belichick hopefully giving the defense an earful #Patriots #NEvsDEN #NFLPlayoffs

Running the ball is not working right now, keep passing!! #Patriots
— Ian McBride (@iMcBr1dE_) January 19, 2014
Clearly Denver have turned up. We have not!!!! #Patriots
— anthony faulder (@anthonyfaulder) January 19, 2014
#Patriots Josh McDaniels, who drafted Robert Ayers, watches his QB sacked by Ayers. Does that make it a good draft pick?
— Paul Klee (@Klee_Gazette) January 19, 2014
Simms: "This defense really has great speed on the defensive side." He's not wrong.
— Dave Dameshek (@Dameshek) January 19, 2014
FG is good. Not saying much. Extremely disappointed with this team's play right now #Patriots #NEvsDEN #NFLPlayoffs
— Crystal (@BallroomElegant) January 19, 2014
Can we not give up a first down on second and twenty? Thanks guys. #Patriots
— Brian (@Titan4Ever2488) January 19, 2014
Nice of Robert Kraft to get Jon Bon Jovi a name tag. #Broncos #Patriots
— Matthew Schwerha (@MSchwerha) January 19, 2014
Matt Prater 35 Yard Field Goal is Good. #Broncos lead the #Patriots 13-3 with 0:30 remaining in the 2nd
— Stephen Waldon (@sw24ever) January 19, 2014
Passing looks awful. Running game doesn’t exist. This is going to be a very long afternoon unless BB puts the fear of God in the #Patriots.
— Kevin (@RedSoxRedShoes) January 19, 2014
HALFTIME: #Broncos lead the #Patriots, 13-3.

Talib out means our season is over. Sorry #Patriots .... Game over.

Hey at least they wasted a time out right guys… guys? #Patriots

#Patriots Defense is already tired in the 2nd half ... Time of possession is more than 22 minutes out of 34 for the #Broncos

Momentum and Tempo totally out of control for #Patriots

Crushing drive by #Denver to start 3rd quarter. #Broncos now lead #Patriots 20-3 in 3rd. #AFCChampionship
— LEE GOLDBERG (@WCSHSPORTSGUY) January 19, 2014
Well, even I can't save #Patriots now.
#ChampionshipSunday
— Superman (@SupermanTweets) January 19, 2014
Dennard playing the CB1 right now is killing #patriots. Man. The last injury that broke camels back. 3 pts from the O doesn't help either...
— Ian Tasso (@Tasso_Sports) January 19, 2014
Wavering but unbreakable faith. The time is now. Whatever this team has left, has to be used now. #Patriots

#Patriots are right on the ragged edge of needing a miracle. #AFCChampionship
— Bill Kole (@billkole) January 19, 2014
Bill Belichick is currently working on a strategy to repair Gronk's ACL & break Aaron Hernandez out of prison by the 4th quarter. #Patriots
— Turnover Sports (@TurnoverBlog) January 19, 2014
Maybe it just as well that Aaron Hernandez can't get to watch the game today. #Patriots
— Gordon Damer (@gordondamer) January 19, 2014
Nobody tell Josh McDaniels that the Patriots have no deep threat. #patriots #idiot

#Patriots going for it on 4th. Big play.
— Kyle Reynolds (@KRNaturalPhoto) January 19, 2014
4th and 2 - now let's see where we saw that before in #Patriots history.
— Dr. Jeff (@drjefflo) January 19, 2014
What a massive heart ripping sack to the #Patriots #TBS_ConfChamp
— Jeff Peck (@JeffPeck979ESPN) January 19, 2014
That is one of the WORST calls Bill has ever made. Just putrid, and there is NO defending it. #Patriots
— Brian (@Titan4Ever2488) January 19, 2014
Maybe now media will question almighty Belichick for once. Tho way his D is playing I can't blame him for going for it #Patriots #Broncos
— Melissa Siegel (@MelissaSiegel89) January 19, 2014
#Patriots: Can't pass protect. Can't run block. Can't catch. Can't run. Can't cover. Can't tackle. Can't pressure the QB. #Wow @nflnetwork
— Kj (@kjshiz) January 19, 2014
Is this a bad time to start shooting heroin? #patriots

End of 3Q, #Broncos up 20-3 and driving inside the Red Zone. Last quarter of the season coming up for the #Patriots
— Ben Volin (@BenVolin) January 19, 2014
This is painful to watch. #Patriots overachieved this entire year and I hate seeing them end like this. #AFCChampionship

This is about the time everyone starts talking about the Red Sox right? #Patriots

Denver kicks a FG to build lead to 20, 12:07 left to go in the AFC Championship. #Patriots 3 #Broncos 23.
— Sports Power Talk (@SportsPowerTalk) January 19, 2014
Holding the #Broncos to 23 points through 48 minutes is a win for the #Patriots defense and special teams. Their offense though......
— Edward Egros (@EdwardEgrosFox4) January 19, 2014
More 'Omahas' than yards by New England receivers in this game. Really. #Patriots #Broncos
— ChrisMcCluskey (@ChrisMcCluskey) January 19, 2014
In retrospect, Aaron Hernandez should have been forced to watch this. #patriots
— El_Merv (@GriffinClubMerv) January 19, 2014
Belichick lost Welker, Hernandez, Gronkowski, Mayo, and Wilfork and still brought his team to the AFC Championship. Remarkable #Patriots

The #Patriots convert on 4th & 3 inside the red zone to stay alive. They need a TD here. #AFCChampionship

2nd and Goal. On the money. TD Edelman. #Patriots have a little bit of life.

Oh look, the #Patriots realized they can get touchdowns. How cute. #BroncosVsPatriots

Now can the #Patriots D get a 3-and-out or a non-scoring stop, here?

Manning has been dominant..just toying with the #Patriots defense.

You don't take the ball out of Tom Brady's hands in that situation. #Patriots should have thrown for 2 the way Brady had moved on that drive

I'm just going to say it for Gisele. Tom Brady can't play defense too. #patriots
— Anil Letherwala (@Anil_Letherwala) January 19, 2014
#Patriots overcame alot of adversity this year & fought like hell..but bottom line is Peyton & the #Broncos were the better team today
