It's conference championship weekend. On Sunday, we'll find out who goes to the Super Bowl. On one side, two quarterbacks who have been to the Super Bowl repeatedly: Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. On the other side, two quarterbacks who have combined for just a handful of playoff wins and no Super Bowl berths: Carson Palmer and Cam Newton. Whoever wins, the Super Bowl should be fun.
Of course, the NFL is more than just quarterbacks. All four teams have outstanding defenses, that have arguably been more important for their success than their franchise passers. And all four teams have had some strokes of good luck and refereeing decisions going their way.
Here's everything you need to know to watch the games this weekend.
