Broncos’ Manning says Super Bowl might be his ‘last rodeo’

Manning’s ability to play with an injury that will only heal with rest, surgery or perhaps both, would seem to have provided a firm counter to that notion. We played him past year when I was in Baltimore.

Depending on the Las Vegas sportsbook, the Denver Broncos are somewhere around a 3-4 point underdog against the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50.

The Broncos have appeared in seven previous Super Bowls-one seventh of the 49 that have been played all time-and the record shows that their presence usually guarantees that the title game will turn into a lopsided clunker.

With just three former Badgers still left in the playoffs coming into Sunday’s conference championship games, the choice was clear.

THE PANTHERS’ EXPLOSIVE offense against the Broncos shut-down defense should make for one heck of a Super Bowl matchup.

The 39-year-old Denver Broncos quarterback dropped another hint that he might retire during an embrace with New England coach Bill Belichick following the Broncos 20-18 win against the Patriots Sunday in the AFC Championship game.

Rivera, who won a Super Bowl ring with the 1985 Chicago Bears as a linebacker, said he’ll rely on his former coach Mike Ditka, among others, for advice leading up the February 7 Super Bowl against the AFC champion Denver Broncos.

“We go out there and the scoreboard talks for itself”, Miller said.

The Panthers decided not to do a blackout look, according to Jonathan Jones of the Charlotte Observer, which fans voted as the greatest uniform combination in league history just two years ago in an NFL.com poll. Or that Denver is probably going to win the Super Bowl.

“He’s probably the most unsafe quarterback in the National Football League right now”, Pro Bowl cornerback Aqib Talib said.

Speaking to Peter King in MMQB, Manning expounded upon the idea that this could be his last run towards the Super Bowl. Going into the game, he was completing 74 percent of his passes this season when taking less than two seconds from snap-to-throw. He watched as backup Brock Osweiler racked up better numbers, and then, in Week 17, saw Osweiler start ahead of him.
