Denver Fans Gear Up For Broncos-Patriots AFC Championship Game

DENVER, Colorado (CBS) -- On the streets of downtown Denver Friday, Broncos fever was taking over ahead of the AFC Championship Sunday between the New England Patriots and Broncos.

There was a wild Broncos rally, packed with fans dressed in orange.

"I have to say go Broncos!" said one excited fan.

Fan Denise Nakai says "Born and raised a Denver fan. (I'll be a) Bronco fan til I die!"

But, if you are a Patriots fan, it's the last place you want to be.

The "Bronco Reaper" says "I take their souls at night. I come and take their souls."

Denver fans have been getting decked out in costumes to prepare for the big game.

One woman was dressed as the "Bronco fairy," saying she spreads "good luck and Bronco fairy dust."

And in all of their orange, they seem to think they have a chance.

"It doesn't matter about Tom Brady," says Nakai. "It's about the defense."
