The Latest from the NFL conference championship games Sunday. (All times EST)

2:42 p.m.

To make sure his hands stay nice and toasty on this sunny, 46-degree day, Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning is wearing gloves for the AFC title game against New England. He also has a hand warmer strapped around his waist.

Fellow QB Tom Brady is opting to go with a glove only on his left hand.

The temperature is expected to be in the mid- to upper-40s most of the afternoon. There’s a chance of rain later in the evening, but the game should be over by then and one of these teams will be on their way to the Super Bowl.
