DENVER -- A look at who's "up" and who's "down" for the New England Patriots in their 26-16 loss to the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship Game:
Up
Ryan Allen -- Rookie punter played through a shoulder injury and delivered a couple of booming punts in the first half.
Austin Collie -- Veteran receiver turned out to be one of quarterback Tom Brady's most reliable options.
Chandler Jones -- Defensive end caught the eye with strong play against the run and a good rush that contributed to a red zone stop.
Down
Danny Amendola -- Receiver was hardly a factor and had a drop in the third quarter.
Tom Brady -- The missed deep pass to receiver Julian Edelman in the first quarter will probably stick with the quarterback for a while. He also missed one to Collie late in the second quarter.
Alfonzo Dennard/Logan Ryan -- Young cornerbacks struggle in coverage and tackling.
