Cam Newton Responds to Criticism Following Super Bowl Press Conference

But Phillips, who had been coaching in the National Football League since 1976 without previously winning a Super Bowl, said the team’s ability to grind out wins was what set it apart.

As a mob of reporters and cameras surrounded Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton on Tuesday, he was asked about the support he’s received from teammates in the days since the Super Bowl.

Newton walked away from his postgame press conference after fewer than three minutes, creating a tempest for commentary about his behavior. “I didn’t want to talk to the media at the time”.

“We’ve had so many pressure games”, Phillips said last week, “and when you think about it, we just broke the record of the ’78 Oilers, who had the most wins of 7 points or less”. “… I was in Chicago with the ’85 team that went to the Super Bowl, and the ’86 team was better statistically but we didn’t win because we didn’t have that same chemistry in the locker room. You show me a good loser and I’m going to show you a loser”, he said.

“When you invest so much time and sacrifice so much and things don’t go as planned, I think emotions take over”, Newton said. I’m human. I never once said that I was flawless.

“We’re probably expecting hundreds of thousands”, said Mike Stott, a spokesman for Mayor Michael Hancock.

“I can see why Broncos fans are charged with being the greatest fans in the country”, Gradishar said. “I am my own person”. That’s our goal – if you want to be the champs, beat the champs. I didn’t dive down.

Relegated to game-manager status in the playoffs, the 39-year-old Manning completed just 13 of 23 passes Sunday at Levi’s Stadium for 141 yards, with an interception and a lost fumble.

“There are a lot of young people out there looking at who we are, and we are role models for them”, Rivera said.

“We will be back”.

Peyton Manning knows the feeling.

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning was caught with a blank face late in Super Bowl 50 once it was all but ensured that his brother Peyton Manning would win his second Super Bowl.

Comparing numbers between eras can be dicey, but the Broncos had plenty of superlatives in the 2015 regular season: the NFL’s No. 1 overall defense, No. 1 passing defense and No. 3 rushing defense.
