Broncos players couldn't contain their excitement with Sunday's AFC Championship Game on the horizon.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- David Bruton didn’t hesitate for a moment in his response.
Instead, the Broncos safety and special teams captain clearly pronounced what has become growingly apparent throughout the course of the week: Sunday’s showdown with the Patriots will be played on no ordinary stage.
“It’s not another home game. That’s what it comes down to,” Bruton said. “It’s the AFC Championship Game. It’s the last game before to you go to that 'ship. It’s a dream game in two weeks. There is added pressure to this game. Everyone wants to go out and perform well, perform to the best of their abilities.”
Coupled with the stakes that have been raised to Rocky Mountain heights, however, is the undeniable excitement about playing for a berth in the Super Bowl – the sport’s grandest stage and a place where the Broncos haven’t been since Jan. 31, 1999.
