It is interesting to consider that almost half of all Super Bowls played since the game’s inception 50 years ago has included as its AFC representative either the Steelers, the Patriots, or, after this season’s rendition, the Broncos. “So, it sure has been a pleasure”, Manning told Belichick after his 20-18 win.
In a January 17 column, Post columnist Mark Kiszla asked Manning is this playoff run felt like his last rodeo.
The rivalry is often framed as “Brady-Manning”, but in reality, it’s probably better described as Belichick-Manning given Peyton’s obsessive tactical preparation and in-game play-calling.
“It kind of happened naturally just because I’ve been with his offense”, Daniels said.
We talk in depth about Cam Newton’s success, his detractors and his current mindset, heading into his first Super Bowl appearance.
“No, I don’t have anything to share”, he said Monday.
The NFL christened their fiftieth Super Bowl with the number 50 instead of the seldom-used Roman numeral “L”, but the symbol merits at least one use when considering the trend that this match-up continues.
This, season, however, was the worst of Manning’s career. However, the Panthers, they won’t be going all black for the game. I can’t imagine anybody that participated in the game doesn’t feel that way. The choice: the all-white uniforms they wore in two other Super Bowls – a win over the Falcons in 1999 and a loss to the Giants in 1987.
Since 1990, there have been 12 matchups in the Super Bowl that have seen a young quarterback (29 years or younger) against a veteran signal-caller (30 years or older).
The Broncos defense made it once again, and the franchise is now headed to its eighth Super Bowl. “But Denver is going to be in it, and I think Peyton will find a way to move the ball a little bit”. I know I enjoyed being there. Only six quarterbacks selected first overall have won the big game: Terry Bradshaw (4), Troy Aikman (3), Jim Plunkett (2), John Elway (2), Eli Manning (2), Peyton Manning.
