The matchup for Super Bowl 50 will be determined in Sunday's conference championship games, which feature the 17th -- and possibly final -- meeting between Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.

The New England Patriots will have to beat the Denver Broncos in the Mile High City for a chance to defend their Super Bowl XLIX title.

The last "Brady-Manning Bowl" was during the 2014 regular season, when New England walloped Denver 43-21 at Gillette Stadium. However, Manning defeated Brady in their last playoff matchup at the AFC championship game two years ago in Denver. In the postseason, the series is tied 2-2, but Brady leads overall 11-5.

In the late game, the Arizona Cardinals are on the road against the Carolina Panthers, who held off a comeback from the Seattle Seahawks in the divisional round. The win kept the Seahawks from returning to the NFC championship game for the third year in a row.

While Carolina scored 31 points, the Panthers only won by a touchdown after Seattle shut them out in the second half while putting 24 points on the scoreboard.

Meanwhile, the Cardinals come into North Carolina on the heels of a thrilling overtime win against the Green Bay Packers. Larry Fitzgerald rushed into the end zone on the opening drive in overtime to deny Aaron Rodgers from putting on another display of the "Hail Mary" magic that kept the game going.
