Denver brings dominant defense into Super Bowl 50
In fact, according to the statistical analysis group, FiveThirtyEight, only Vince Ferragamo of the Los Angeles Rams in 1979 had a worse statistical year among Super Bowl quarterbacks than Manning had this season.
Cam Newton will look to give the Carolina Panthers their first Super Bowl title today in Santa Clara, California. Denver comes in with the NFL’s best defense while Carolina, who is led by an MVP candidate in Newton, boasts the league’s most powerful offense.
While he wasn’t picking sides, he did joke that the Panthers would win by a longshot: “I think they’re going to win by about 100 points”.
What the Broncos (14-4) need to do is keep things close and not let the Panthers (17-1) get off to a fast start – they’ve outscored their opponents 55-7 in the first half in the playoffs. The new helmets that they have coming out are (great).
Two years ago, the Broncos had the NFL’s top offense but crashed and burned in Super Bowl XLVIII when they faced the Seahawks’ No. 1 defense.
Lead the Broncos to a Super Bowl victory.
With a 6:30 p.m. start, I’m not sure Mr. Buckley is even able to stay up long up to watch the end of the game, since youngsters like him have an early bed time after they have their milk and cookies.
When asked about the amount of reports dedicated to the effects injuries have on the quality of players’ lives, veteran linebacker Von Miller said the attention is good for football.
“Am I going to have some potential neck procedures down the road?”
“Nobody’s really playing like how we play and it makes it kind of hard to watch the film because you see these other teams and they’re not as good”. Not a lot of people know who we are. The Panthers were the best team in the regular season, the best team in the playoffs and I think they will be the best team on Sunday.
If the Panthers can make Manning one dimensional, though, they will be at a decided advantage.
But the trigger for Carolina is establishing the running game. Newton is a big part of that, rushing for 636 yards and 10 touchdowns, tying Steve Young’s record for career TDs by a quarterback. You can listen to James Brown and various former National Football League players and coaches analyze every possible detail of a game that hasn’t happened yet and probably all predict the Panthers to beat the Broncos right when you get out of bed. But he’s taken his passing to a whole different level this season, improving his accuracy and throwing for a career-high 35 touchdowns.
