Denver weather forecast brings winter to Broncos-Patriots AFC Championship Game

1 hour ago 3

The Denver Broncos host the New England Patriots for Sunday's AFC Championship Game.

It's a day when much of the country is expected to get pummeled with snow.

Denver, though, is further west than the storm. So that's being avoided.

It doesn't mean this big game has avoided winter, though.
