Superstitious Broncos choose white uniforms for Super Bowl

In the aftermath of Denver’s victory over New England in Sunday’s AFC championship game, Manning divulged the not so surprising information during his postgame hug with Patriots coach Bill Belichick in an exchange captured by NFL Films cameras.

This isn’t the first time we’ve heard Manning talk about this potentially his last rodeo, but it’s the clearest indication yet that the future Hall of Famer is considering retiring after the season.

Belichick: “You’re a great competitor”.

Since that point, the rivalry has been far more balanced, with Manning winning two additional conference championship games, and both Manning and the Patriots reaching three additional Super Bowls.

Denver Broncos will be pitted against Carolina Panthers during Super Bowl 50 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.

Manning told the Denver Post at the end of the regular season, “I’d be lying if I said I’m not thinking about it (retirement)”. The Broncos defeated the Patriots 20-18 to advance to the Super Bowl. However, if Peyton Manning could win multiple Super Bowls (and with different teams), he vaults himself into consideration as the greatest of all-time. He missed six games to recover then came off the bench in the season finale against the San Diego Chargers to help the Broncos secure the AFC West title and home-field advantage through the AFC playoffs.

Manning, who will turn 40 in March, is one of the most successful stars in the game’s history.

Bill Belichick declined to share what he spoke about with Peyton Manning at midfield following Denver’s elimination of New England in the AFC Championship. “I think a lot of young guys don’t realize”. Peyton Manning will go out as a victor, no matter what happens in the Super Bowl.

Edelman, who is from Redwood, California – just a short trip away from the site of Super Bowl 50, isn’t sure if he’ll attend any of the pregame festivities either, but is still considering making a few appearances. This is my seventeenth time playing against the Patriots with Tom at quarterback.
