The Helmets

The Jerseys

broncos_logo Every year, the AFC and NFC switch which team wears its home jerseys and which team wears its road whites. This year, the Broncos are lucky enough to be  donning their bright orange jerseys which make them visible through the snow, rain or whatever Denver should have to worry about.

seahawks_logo The Seahawks, on the other hand, are stuck wearing their white uniforms which will present a challenge to Russell Wilson finding his receivers should it snow. To  combat blending in with any precipitation, the Seahawks have opted to wear blue pants instead of their usual white pants.

Gloves

broncos_logo  Peyton Manning has worn a glove on his throwing hand ever since the neck procedure he had done two years ago affected the nerves in his right hand. Because this  game is being played in the cold, we are going to go with the quarterback who is better suited for the low temperatures.

seahawks_logo Russell Wilson usually plays without gloves, as his unusually large hands give him no trouble gripping the ball. Wilson is on record saying that he will most likely not  wear gloves for the Big Game this Sunday.

Home Field Advantage

Neither of these teams have it, but both the Seahawks and the Broncos are used to playing in cold temps and winter weather. We'll just have to wait and see how Sunday pans out and best of luck to the fans on Sunday!
