The New England Patriots will host the Denver Broncos in undoubtedly the biggest match up of Week 9 in the NFL. This game will see Peyton Manning go up against Tom Brady in a clash of the quarterback giants.

Today's game will start at 4.25 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on the CBS network. The game will take place at the Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, and can also be watched online through live stream - free for subscribers - via the link provided below.

This will be the 16th match up between Manning and Brady in their careers, yet the face off gets no less interesting. Both come into the game in excellent form, having both registered 4-0 records with their teams in October.

There will be mutual respect between the pair when they come together today, and the Patriots' Tom Brady has been full of praise for his counterpart ahead of today's game, saying: "Peyton has been a phenomenal player - so consistent and durable for a long period of time. We've had a great rivalry and this year is no different."

However, head-to-head it is Brady who has the edge. The Patriots quarterback holds a a 10-5 career record against Manning in their 15 game against one another.

But even though Brady has the edge overall, when looking at the recent record it is Manning who has his nose in front. Manning has a 5-4 record in their last nine match ups, including a 26-16 win in last season's AFC Championship Game.

To add more to today's match up and rivalry, this Manning vs Brady matchup will also mark the first game in NFL history where both starting quarterbacks have earned 150-or-more regular-season wins.
