John Fox: 'Playoffs are just another game'

John Fox has insisted that the Denver Broncos will be treating their AFC championship game against the New England Patriots like "any other game".

The Broncos face the AFC East side for the second time this season, having lost in overtime to Bill Belichick's men in November.

The head coach told reporters: "We treat it like any other game, actually. It's still played on the same size field. It happens to be a home game this week instead of a road game.

"It's just the normal nuances. Then it's about who executes, and usually that's about who prepared the hardest."

The winner of tomorrow's game will face either the San Francisco 49ers or Seattle Seahwaks in next month's Super Bowl.
