2010 Patriots 30 - 2012 Broncos 23

The Broncos were done in by their early inability to get untracked, leading to punts on their first three drives, and by injuries to Chris Harris and Von Miller, which made what is a very good pass defense not so very good at all. Throw in lost fumbles by Willis McGahee and Knowshon Moreno in the third, and the Broncs went from enjoying a modest lead to being in real trouble pretty quickly. Manning hit 35 of 50 for almost 400 yards, but had trouble in the red zone, and the Broncos turned the ball over on downs at the 12 with 4 minutes left and down 14. The Pats for their part moved well all day, and once Miller and Harris were out of the picture they scored 3 TD's on 4 possessions in the second half.
