New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has stated that Sunday's match with the Denver Broncos is not just about him and opposite number Peyton Manning.
The pair are the main focus coming into the crucial AFC matchup, with much of the talk surrounding the game on who can lead their side to the win.
However Brady told Boston.com: "I don't have to play against Peyton. I think that's the thing. It's more of the defense that plays against him.
"What you do realise when you play a good team, another good quarterback, that you're going to have to score a lot of points.
"We try to score points anyway, but this is a very good football team, led by a great quarterback, one of the best of all time. I'm excited to see how we do."
The Patriots are on course to top the AFC East this season, currently leading the division with a 7-3 record.
