In NFL Sunday night football, the New England Patriots pulled off a major come-from-behind victory last night clipping the Denver Broncos 34-31 in overtime in frigid, windy conditions at Gillette Stadium. The Patriots overcame a 24-0 halftime deficit winning it on Stephen Gostkowski's 31-yard field goal to
surprise Peyton Manning and the Broncos in the 14th meeting of the Manning-Brady Bowl, featuring two of the NFL's all-time greats.
Brady completed 34-of-50 passes for 344 yards and three TDs as he out dueled Manning, who struggled, finishing 19-of-36 for just 150 yards and two TDs. Denver's Knowshon Moreno was toughl in the loss rushing for a career-high 224 yards on 37 carries with a touchdown.
New England moves to 8-3, while Denver 9-2 is tied with Kansas City, which lost to San Diego 41-38 in another thriller.
