FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- There’s no shortage of hype surrounding Sunday’s high-profile matchup between the New England Patriots and Denver Broncos.

Brady vs. Manning.

Belichick vs. Manning.

Revis and Browner vs. a talented Denver receiving corps.

Bill Belichick isn't concerned about any of that, though.

Speaking with the media in his Wednesday news conference, Belichick was his usual deflective self.

Wondering what Belichick thinks of the way the Broncos could utilize linebacker Von Miller and cornerback Chris Harris on Sunday?

“You’ll have to ask the Broncos about that.”

Does Belichick appreciate the Tom Brady-Peyton Manning rivalry?

“Yeah, sure.”

Any thoughts on the atmosphere at Gillette Stadium for Sunday’s game?

“I’m sure our fans will be enthusiastic about the game, but I’m really more concerned about where our team is. I can’t do anything about anything else. Just try to get our team ready to go and hope that we can coach and play well on Sunday.”

One reporter asked Belichick a question relating to the health of former Boston mayor Thomas Menino.

“I’ll really just stick to the Broncos here,” Belichick said. “I don’t want to get out of my element. That’s about all I’ve been working on for the last three days. With all due respect to the other news stories that are out there, I’m sure there’s a lot of important ones, I don’t think that’s really my field.”

As great as the team’s 51-23 blowout victory over the Chicago Bears was last Sunday, it’s clear that Belichick spent little time savoring the win. As soon as the game ended it was on to Denver, against whom Belichick expects to have his hands full.

“Obviously they’re a real good football team,” Belichick said. “Playing great, doing everything well -- offense, defense, special teams. Disruptive on defense, scoring a lot of points on offense. Controlling field position in the kicking game, they’ve got a lot of explosive players. Well coached. Really doing everything really well. Big challenge for us this week. Had a good week of preparation here. We’ll be ready to go on Sunday.”
