Broncos Linebacker Von Miller Earns Super Bowl MVP Honors

Quarterback Cam Newton walked out on the press in the middle of the press conference, because obviously, taking a loss like that has to be hard.

“I’m going to follow old coaches’ advice and I think I’ll make a good decision and I think I’ll be at peace with it whichever way it goes”.

Who knows the reason.

“When he feels that and I can see it in his eyes, I know he’s turning it on”.

By the time Newton heard Harris begin his joyous interview, he had already answered several questions from the media.

Manning’s possible swansong stole the headlines but the story of the game was the Broncos defence’s harassment of recently-crowned 2015 MVP Cam Newton as they produced seven sacks and 13 quarterback hits. “I’m going to drink a lot of Budweiser tonight, I promise you that”. That was a snap shot of the game: every time the Panthers made a play, the Denver defense made a bigger play. “We dropped balls, we turned the ball over, we gave up sacks, errant passes”. The Panthers who scored the most points in the regular season looked lackluster and completely over-matched.

Newton went 18/41 for 265 yards. He carried the ball six times for 45 yards, but lost two fumbles as well.

Just before walking off, Newton appears to overhear Denver corner Chris Harris on the other side of a separating curtain discussing the defense’s game plan of forcing the Panthers to throw the ball.

Manning led the Broncos to a 24-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers. He did not indicate he is retiring after winning his second Super Bowl. Walking out on that field for the pre-game warm-ups it was about as attractive a setting as you could possibly imagine.

“You go out and play it. You watch it. You observe it. You understand that Denver’s front four is the best front four in the National Football League, so if they can put pressure on (New England quarterback Tom) Brady, they’re going to be able to put pressure on Cam”.
