The stage is set for the AFC championship game.

The Denver Broncos will be hosting the New England Patriots as it was always supposed to be.

We just found out, and we're going to break it down on an emergency show of the DNVR Broncos podcast.

We got the full crew here.

Super Bowl 50 champ, Benny Fowler, RK. Hank, let's go, fellas, one week from today.

Let's go, baby.

Like you said, Zach, the way it's supposed to be, this is how it's always written.

Broncos Patriots at Mile High. Last two, obviously, AFC Championships at the Broncos played, and they faced the Patriots at

mile high. So it always had to be like this. It's a new, yeah, it's a new air.

Go ahead, hang.

No, it's awesome. I mean, it's the two best teams in the AFC. And I think that throughout these playoffs, we found out that that is, like, just like we thought coming into it, these are the two best teams. And the two best teams are going to be on the same field to decide it, and it just feels right. It's been crazy just over the last.

I guess it's been the last week on social media

where everybody is just throwing it back to 2016.

And then, you know, you get to throw it back to 2016 with this game and the 2026 version.

You wish Boonex was out there because you want to see this next version of the rivalry.

You know, obviously it was Peyton and Brady and Peyton was at the end of his career.

But Peyton 2 and O at mile high against Brady and New England, you know, they struggle here regardless of who's that quarterback.

So Broncos got the home field advantage.

The whole city is behind Stitty.

And here we go.

The city is a city.

And you're absolutely right, Benny.
