"We've watched a lot of film on them," Brady said. "The most impressive thing that I've seen is defensively they just don't give up any big plays. They don't give many long runs. They don't give many long passes."
And he knows Manning will be a tough opponent for the Patriots' defense.
"He does everything well," Brady said. "He's a leader. He's a clutch performer. He's always in command of the team and the offense. He can do it all."

San Francisco 49ers kicker Joe Nedney was fined US$7,500 by the National Football League on Thursday for making an obscene gesture toward a spectator in a 31-10 loss to New Orleans.
Nedney apologized for his raised middle finger after being heckled with obscenities by the fan for sending a kickoff out of bounds, which gave the Saints advantageous possession at their 40-yard line.
OUT OF CHARACTER
"That's really out of character for me. I know it showed bad judgment," Nedney said. "I wish I could take that finger and stick it right back down onto my palm, but I can't. All I can do is apologize for what I did, pay the fine and hope I didn't tarnish any fan's image of me."
Nedney, an 11-year NFL veteran, has made eight-of-nine field goal attempts this season but sent several kickoffs out of bounds.
