The Brady, Manning, Big Ben dominance continues

FOXBORO — Here's a stat I love. Save for super bowl XLVII, when Joe Flacco took the Ravens to the Super Bowl, dating back to Super Bowl XXXVIII - we're on Super Bowl LI - three quarterbacks have led their teams to the AFC Championship. Ben Roethlisbeger, Peyton Manning or Tom Brady. That's it. I'll list them off.

Super Bowl XXXVIII - Brady
Super Bowl XXXIX - Brady
Super Bowl XL - Roethlisberger
Super Bowl XLI - Manning
Super Bowl XLII - Brady
Super Bowl XLIII - Roethlisberger
Super Bowl XLIV - Manning
Super Bowl XLV - Roethlisberger
Super Bowl XLVI - Brady
Super Bowl XLVII - Flacco
Super Bowl XLVIII - Manning
Super Bowl XLIX - Brady
Super Bowl 50 - Manning
Super Bowl LI - Brady or Roethlisberger

Say what you want about parity, but this is a quarterback league and if you don't have a franchise QB, you're toast.
