The AFC Championship game is finally upon us and so far both teams have come out and given their opening statements. The Patriots went three-and-out on their first drive, with LeGarrette Blount getting stuffed by the Broncos defense.

The Broncos first drive of the game was a little more successful.

No points have been scored yet, but statements are being made early. After a great game last week by Patriots cornerback Aqib Talib, Broncos wide receiver Eric Decker made it his business to let him know he won’t be bullied today.

The catch and run alone were pretty good, as Decker is clearly loose and ready to roll. Lowering the boom on Talib was just for fun and was meant to show that the Broncos are her to play and play hard.
