Ty Law To Serve As Patriots' Honorary Captain In AFC Championship Game
BOSTON (CBS) -- A nemesis of Peyton Manning will serve as the New England Patriots' honorary captain for Sunday's AFC Championship Game in Denver.
Three-time Super Bowl champ and Patriots Hall of Famer Ty Law will serve as honorary captain on Sunday, the third time he'll fill that role following his incredible NFL career.
In addition to being a clutch performer for the Patriots during his playing days, Law has also been a good luck charm for the team following his retirement. The Patriots are 3-0 in games that Law has served as honorary captain, including 2-0 in AFC Championship Games.
"Ty Law has been a part of so many big playoff moments for our franchise over the years and I am so glad he can join us once again for Sunday's AFC Championship Game in Denver," said Patriots owner Robert Kraft.
Law had Manning's number throughout his career, highlighted by his three interception day against Manning and the Indianapolis Colts in a 24-14 Patriots win in the 2004 AFC Championship Game.
