— -- Call it the power of the program.

Every team in the National Football League faces adversity during the season. Every team suffers injuries. Every team has key players get hurt. Every team has crushing losses.

Not every team endures. Not every team adjusts. Not every team can withstand a dumpster fire and emerge relatively unaffected with a division championship and a first-round bye in the playoffs.

But not every team is Denver or New England. That the Broncos and Patriots will face each other in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday in Denver is a testament to the power of their programs.
