Sunday can’t come too soon for American football fans when the conference championships begin in the National Football League (NFL). The New England Patriots challenge the Denver Broncos for the AFC title, while the San Francisco 49ers battle the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC.

All four teams will be led by star quarterbacks—either already who have proven their worth in the league or just beginning to convince the critics that they are well on their way to elite QB status.

New England’s Tom Brady, Denver’s Peyton Manning, San Francisco’s Colin Kaepernick and Seattle’s Russell Wilson are the last four quarterbacks with a chance to win the Super Bowl this season but only two will get a shot at playing in the championship game.
