Broncos heap praise on Panthers leading up to Super Bowl 50

While Peyton Manning has not openly admitted that this would be his last season, if he wins the Super Bowl, you could bet your bottom dollar this will, indeed, be his “last rodeo”.

“Hey, listen, this might my last rodeo”.

Manning and Belichick declined to talk after the game about their conversation, but part of it was caught by NFL Films cameras. The difference is 13 years and 48 days, beating the previous high of 12 years and 250 days when Manning faced Russell Wilson in 2013. “Don’t have anything to share”, Belichick said during a press conference.

Obviously, Peyton Manning has had quite the career of breaking records, turning around both the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos franchises, and now making his third Super Bowl appearance (1-1 record). “Today I did the same routine I’ve been doing the past couple weeks and tried to follow that”.

“One of the things Coach Ditka emphasized to us was to enjoy the moment”, said Rivera Monday to ESPN. We are only two days into the process, but it is clear the public likes Carolina in this game.

If Newton and the Panthers play the way that they did Sunday night the question won’t be if the young gun has a chance, it will be how many he MVPs and championships they will win before he’s Peyton Manning’s age.

Either the Broncos would join the Steelers, the Cowboys, and the Patriots as the only teams to reach the Super Bowl a record eight times, or the New England Patriots-who had already beaten the Chiefs-would become the first team in National Football League history to reach the Super Bowl nine times, supplanting the Steelers in this measure of postseason success.

Manning’s comments to Belichick also suggest that he could walk away regardless of the outcome.

Throughout the course of the NFL’s history, there have been several players to come back as head coaches.

Gary Kubiak didn’t win the Super Bowl as a player, but he did advance to three of them as John Elway’s backup and was on the winning side of three as an assistant with the 49ers and Broncos. I can’t shake either one of them.
