The Denver Broncos and New England Patriots are squaring off in the AFC Championship game. Patriots cornerback Aqib Talib got a pick from Wes Welker, which was supposed to accidental but looked more like he was playing safety while Talib was trying to catch a pass.
Talib then left the game and went to the locker room to get examined.
Aqib Talib gets hurt in collision w/ Wes Welker. If he's lost, would mean both teams w/out best corner. Denver CB Chris Harris hurt last wk.

[UPDATE:] Talib went straight to the x-ray room to have his ribs checked out. His return is questionable.
