What time is the Super Bowl?
The Panthers have though now easy contender with the Denver Broncos led by Peyton Manning aka The Sheriff.
The two chatted for a bit, talking about quarterback Peyton Manning and cars.
Manning may retire, and Broncos boss John Elway wants to keep Osweiler. Imagine if Manning had had a defense like this in Indianapolis.
The two friends attended 42 consecutive Super Bowls together, but Whittaker eventually had to drop out of the pact due to health issues. I picked the Patriots to win big in Denver, and it was clear that I underestimated the Broncos’ top defense, especially its game-changing pass rush.
Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James told ESPN he is a fan of Cam Newton, but he downplayed the comparison between himself and Newton in response to a comment the Carolina Panthers quarterback made earlier this week. If Carolina starts fast like they did in playoff wins against Seattle and Arizona the Broncos are in trouble, this version of Peyton Manning isn’t built to play from behind. Newton’s swagger doesn’t seem to bother an old school Hall of Famer.
“I get emotional about it, hopefully will have lots of reasons to cheer and get excited”.
If anyone can stop them, it’s this Denver Broncos team.
This is the third straight season the top seeds have won conference titles.
With a victory on Sunday the Panthers would find themselves with an 18-1 record, a Super Bowl and in the discussion about the greatest National Football League teams of all-time. That D might not match the stats of the Broncos (14-4), who ranked first overall, but it’s just as impactful. They come into the season’s final game with the league’s most efficient offense and the hottest quarterback in the league in Newton.
Panthers owner Jerry Richardson attended practice for the first time after arriving in California on Wednesday night, watching practice from a golf cart beyond a corner of the field.
Cox agrees with that strategy even though it’s extremely hard to ignore the Super Bowl.
Both defenses will have their moments Sunday.
“This is as good as he’s looked all year long, ” Kubiak said. Luke Kuechly led the Panthers with 118 tackles and fellow Pro Bowl linebacker Thomas Davis, who had 105 tackles, is now expected to play despite undergoing surgery on a broken forearm. “This league has the best of everything”. In addition, cornerback Josh Norman was one of the bigger surprises of the season, as he had four interceptions and three forced fumbles.
The Broncos did a terrific job against Tom Brady and New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game.
Since it’s likely to be an historic matchup of matchless quarterbacks, CBS special correspondent and Super Bowl pregame host James Brown sat down with Panthers quarterback Cam Newton for an interview on “60 minutes sports”.
