As the Brady-Manning showdown gets all the hype, the Panthers and Cardinals quietly get ready to battle for the other Super Bowl berth.As soon as the Denver Broncos stepped off the field, having defeated an under strength Pittsburgh Steelers side, all attention turned to their next game; Tom Bradys New England Patriots. Brady v Manning is a classic sporting rivalry and will be remembered long after both join the Hall of Fame, but in 2016 this is an uneven match up as Peyton Manning struggles to move the ball like he did in his prime.Meanwhile the main event is the one no one is talking about, as the Carolina Panthers take on the Arizona Cardinals in the NFC title game (Sunday 11:30pm, Sky Sports 2). Cam Newton has been in outstanding form this season These are the seasons two best teams, without question. Both have played fast, aggressive offence and disruptive, no-nonsense defence and, unsurprisingly, they are the two most heavily represented franchises in the Pro Bowl. Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is a legitimate dual-threat player; that is, he can throw and run the ball incredibly effectively and always keeps the opposition defence guessing.His opponent, Carson Palmer, is a different type of quality. A 13-year league veteran and thought to be on his way out of the NFL, Palmer has found success with the Cardinals, experiencing a career resurgence in the deep-passing game that coach Bruce Arians has employed. The quarterbacks would be nothing without their supporting casts, however. Whilst many predicted the Panthers might struggle offensively after losing breakout star wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin during training camp, the Panthers led the league with 500 points during the regular season. A lot of that success can be attributed to tight end Greg Olsen, who has had a Pro Bowl year. Running back Jonathan Stewart has been another key asset for the Panthers and, if Ted Ginn can be a safe pair of hands in Benjamins absence, it may be a tough night for the Cardinals defence. David Johnson (left) has scored 13 touchdowns this season for the Arizona Cardinals The Cardinals have offensive talent of their own, not least the wide receiver core of Larry Fitzgerald, John Brown and Michael Floyd. Palmers success is, certainly in part, due to the speed and athleticism of his three receivers who have combined to place Arizona atop the passing rankings for most yards gained during the regular season. Add in Rookie of the Year candidate running back David Johnson and Palmers weaknesses in his own running game fade into insignificance. Tom Brady could go head to head with Cam Newton in the Super Bowl On the defensive side of the ball, both sides have leaders who will be looking to steal the show. The Panthers defence ranks third in the league for pass rushing, and the Cardinals will have to be aware of the threat posed by defensive tackle Kawann Short, as well as defensive end Mario Addison.There is also the prospect of Pro Bowl linebackers Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis. Away from the line, the Panthers have another Pro Bowler in cornerback Josh Norman, who will look to unsettle the wide receivers like he did when he faced Odell Beckham Jr. An Arizona Cardinals supporter has tattooed ‘Super Bowl 50’ on himself Arizona will again call on the old guard of defensive stalwarts Calais Campbell and Dwight Freeney to try and disrupt Newton before he can begin to throw. If he does manage to get the ball away, cornerback Patrick Peterson will be looking for the crucial interceptions. The Pro Bowler has had a career year, allowing the fewest yards of any cornerback, and conceding only one touchdown.The Cardinals are 7-1 on the road this season. The Panthers are unbeaten in their last 12 home games. Both coaches are viable Coach of the Year candidates, and it wouldnt be surprising if either quarterback won season MVP either. This game is going to be high intensity, thoroughly unpredictable and well worth staying up for.Also See:Sky Live: Championship gamesAFC and NFC Championship predictionsOsis play-off previewRivers reveals hoverboard banCustom Arizona Diamondbacks Nike Jerseys .

DETROIT -- Doug Fister and the Detroit Tigers arent giving an inch in the AL Central. Fister pitched eight impressive innings, Austin Jackson homered and Jose Iglesias drove in a run in his Detroit debut to lead the Tigers to a 2-1 win over the Chicago White Sox on Friday night. Detroit has won 10 of 11 -- a run thats enabled the Tigers to stay atop the division despite a similar surge by second-place Cleveland. "We cant control anything that other teams do, obviously," Fister said. "But were coming in, playing hard and working together, and I think thats whats going to carry us anywhere we go this year." The White Sox lost their eighth straight game. Fister (10-5) allowed a run and seven hits, striking out two. Joaquin Benoit pitched a hitless ninth for his 11th save in 11 chances. Iglesias, acquired from Boston this week in a three-team deal, started at third base in place of Miguel Cabrera, who experienced soreness after running and was scratched pregame. Iglesias contributed right away with his new team. "Baseball is the same," he said. "Great group -- and fun to win today." Hector Santiago (3-7) allowed two runs and six hits in seven innings. He struck out seven and walked one. "That was one of Hectors best games all year," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "He usually has an inning or two in the middle where he gets out of synch, walks a few guys and gives up some runs. That didnt happen today, and thats an important step forward for him." Fister threw 88 pitches before being replaced by Benoit for the ninth. He won his fourth straight start -- and hes allowed four earned runs in 28 innings over that span. Fister didnt strike out many batters, instead retiring them on groundball after groundball. That was one factor in keeping his pitch count so low. "Things were feeling pretty good tonight," Fistter said.dddddddddddd "Im trying to be as consistent as possible from Day One, and things are falling our way right now." The Indians lost Friday after eight straight wins, so Detroit now leads the division by three games. The 23-year-old Iglesias was initially going to play second base Friday, but when Cabrera was pulled before the game, he moved over to third. Iglesias could soon take over at shortstop for Jhonny Peralta, who faces a possible suspension amid the fallout from baseballs investigation into the Biogenesis of America anti-aging clinic. Peralta was in the lineup at shortstop Friday. Prince Fielder led off the Detroit fourth with a double, and he went tumbling into third while advancing on Victor Martinezs flyout. One out later, Iglesias dropped a flare into shallow right field for a single to give the Tigers a 1-0 lead. "I was just thinking -- put the ball in play," Iglesias said. "Thats my goal -- see a lot of pitches, put a good swing and get a good pitch to hit." Jackson hit his seventh homer of the year in the fifth, a high drive that carried over the fence in left-centre field. Chicago ended Fisters shutout bid in the sixth with an RBI single by Alex Rios, but Fielder cut off Jacksons throw from centre and ran Rios down between first and second for the third out. The White Sox (40-67) are at least 27 games under .500 for the first time since finishing the 1976 season 64-97. Chicago put the tying run on first to lead off the seventh and eighth innings, but each time, Fister was able to induce a double play grounder. In the ninth, Rios drew a two-out walk and stole second, but Adam Dunn grounded out to end it. NOTES: The time of the game was 2 hours, 7 minutes. ...
