Denver Broncos wide receiver Eric Decker feels that he and his fellow receivers must be "ready for everything" when they face the New England Patriots.

Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning locks horns against Patriots head coach Bill Belichick for the 17th time in his career this Sunday, one of the few coaches in the NFL to have a winning record over him due to his unusual defensive tactics.

"We've seen a lot of press coverage throughout the year. We've seen safeties over the top. I think teams in general are going to mix thins up coverage-wise - maybe blitz more," Decker told the club's official website.

"So we've just got to be ready for everything and we know that we have to fight through those things. And we practice it against some of the best cornerbacks - I think - in the league here in practice."

The Broncos are 9-1 in their season going into their clash at Gillette Stadium.
