Denver Broncos Defeat Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50
He fumbled twice, and lost them both – the first, forced by game MVP Von Miller, producing the Broncos’ first-quarter touchdown, and the other, also knocked loose by Miller, was the last nail in the Panthers’ coffin.
With his performance, Miller was named Super Bowl 50 Most Valuable Player, but the five-year veteran credited his teammates, particularly DeMarcus Ware and Derek Wolfe, for their superb display of defense against the Panthers.
Super Bowl 50 was supposed to be a celebration of all things great about the National Football League – focusing on the old star Peyton Manning and Newton, the exciting face of the future.
Peyton Manning didn’t want to make a rash decision after his Denver Broncos won Super Bowl 50.
“This game was like this season has been”, Manning said afterward.
Fresh off being earning his first MVP award on Saturday night, the Panthers fifth-year quarterback was stymied by an aggressive Denver Broncos defense in his first Super Bowl appearance on Sunday.
“You’re opening yourself for more criticism”, Sanders continued. The game plan was, can you throw on us? He’s been taking it week by week this year, insisting he’s not thinking about what he’ll do after the season.
The Panthers had won 22 of their last 24 games and three straight NFC South championships before Sunday’s 24-10 loss to the Broncos. “I just got my head back real quick and the ball just happened to be there, slow motion. I’m going to celebrate this one”.
Miller set the tone early when he blew past right tackle Mike Remmers and ripped the ball out of Newton’s grasp. Miller beat his man and stripped a ball that bounced into the end zone and was recovered by Broncos defensive lineman Malik Jackson. Led by Von miller. “They did a good job of getting off on the snap count and something I’m going to look to improve on this year”. Safety T.J. Ward recovered at the 4. The NFL has seemingly been distilled into a media-created series of prize fights between quarterbacks where success and failure is hoisted on their shoulders, and their shoulders alone.
It was a major turnaround from the 2014 Super Bowl, when the Seattle Seahawks routed the Broncos on a cold night at MetLife Stadium at East Rutherford, N.J. Their defense was just as impressive against the Broncos despite continually being put in bad situations with the offense turning the ball over four times.
“This is the rawest defense ever”.
The Denver Post says police reported 12 arrests, mainly for criminal mischief. Two plays later, Miller burst through and didn’t even go for the sack. “I thought with the short punt maybe guys would run past, but they didn’t”.
On if Denver did anything unexpected on defense: “Nothing different”.
“It’s so gut-wrenching and hard to swallow that”, All Pro cornerback Josh Norman said. They didn’t make mistakes, we did make mistakes.
“I’m very much at peace right now and I think, however it works out, it’ll work out the way it’s supposed to”, the Denver Broncos quarterback said today on “Good Morning America”. It wasn’t nothing special that they did.
“So we have an opportunity to grow and learn from this experience and give ourselves an opportunity to get back here”. “That’s it. They scored more points than us”, Newton added.
