How Many Super Bowls Has Peyton Manning Played In?

That’s the question. Because everything tilts Carolina’s way. They only have one loss this season. Joe Namath predicted victory.

Last week, the South African comedian spent a segment of his Comedy Central show criticizing the media’s racial double standard when describing Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton and Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning.

If the Panthers get off to that kind of start Sunday, it would be another long and fruitless Super Bowl for Peyton Manning, whose Broncos were outscored by Seattle 22-0 in the first half of Super Bowl XLVIII two years ago.

“It’s pretty dope and a close matchup, but the Panthers should take this one”, Turner said. Manning played just 10 games in the regular season but has been intercepted 17 times already this season.

Denver won 11 games this season, including playoffs, by seven points or less despite the worst season, by far, of Manning’s career.

Also working against pass rushers when facing Newton is his ability to get out of the pocket and make plays. Will another good-enough game from a past-his-prime Peyton be enough to overcome Carolina?

Denver has the best cornerback group in the league.

We’ll find out Sunday, Feb. 7, live on CBS. Most importantly, when in doubt, listen to the game’s commentators. Getting to. 500 and joining the exclusive club of QBs with multiple Super Bowl rings really would enhance his standing among the best players ever at the position.

Looking back to the beginning of the season it was hard to picture either team in this year’s Super Bowl.

That’s what Denver keeps saying this Sunday, too. Carolina’s only score came on a 1-yard run by Jonathan Stewart. “I mean, Cam Newton, everybody loves him, but you know, I’m going to go for the Broncos this year”. Even the Dolphins’ David Woodley (69.8) and Baltimore’s Trent Dilfer (76.6) were numerically better.

Not only that, but it could wind up being Manning’s very last game. This is Newton’s first appearance in the Super Bowl and the first for the Panthers since thy lost to the New England Patriots in 2004.

Manning, 39, was strong again, hitting Demaryius Thomas with a deep pass as Naughty by Nature’s “O.P.P.” blared on the speakers used to simulate crowd noise.

A smartphone might not be the ideal way to take in a football game, but eligible Verizon Wireless customers will be able to stream the game on their phones via the NFL Mobile app as well.

“I think there was maybe a thousand people here when we got here”, said Panthers’ fan Jim Frary.
