The 2014 AFC Championship game was between the,
NE Patriots and DEN Broncos. Final Score DEN 26 NE16.
Tom Brady was off on a number of key throws, but the patriots remained competitive. Once CB Aqib Talib went down with an injury due to a collision with WR Wes Welker, Manning destroyed New England's short handed secondary.
Since that game in 2014....
DENVER:
Signed: Ward, Talib, Ware, Sanders, and Montgomery.
Lost: Cromarti, Decker, Woodyard, Beadles, Holliday, Moreno, Bailey, Ayers, and Phillips.
Drafted: Roby, Latimer, Schofield, Barrow, Nelson, and Paradis.
This year the broncos have one of the most difficult schedules in the NFL, but had 4 great free agency signings. The broncos have also very quietly had a great draft. The broncos also had key starters Clady and Miller out with injuries last year.
NEW ENGLAND:
Signed: Browner, Chung, Hughlett, Hull, Lafell, Revis, and Smith.
Lost: Blount, Talib, Fletcher, Mulligan, and Spikes.
Drafted: Easley, Garoppolo, Stork, White, Fleming, Halapio, Moore, Taylor, Gallon.
The Patriots have a moderately difficult schedule this year. They have signed some great free agents with Revis and Browner. The Patriots draft seemed geared toward the future with the selection of a QB in the 2nd Rnd and many injured players who are high risk/reward players. They also had injuries to key starters Wilfork and what seemed like their entire receiving corps last year.
Other than these top 2 teams in the AFC there is also the:
Ravens
Bengals
Chargers
Chiefs
and the dark horse: the Colts
The Patriots forums are buzzing thinking they will dominate this year, I think their secondary is very interesting. The Colts have an EXTREMELY easy schedule this year and could take the 1st seed. I would like to know what you guys think.

They won't be lucky enough to play fourteen 3rd string qb's and blaine gabbert again.
