Panthers, Broncos in Super Bowl
Carolina (17-1) ran away with a 49-15 victory over the Arizona Cardinals for the NFC title Sunday night, after Denver (14-4) edged the New England Patriots 20-18 in the AFC.
But you should never count out Tom Brady.
The New England Patriots season comes to an end after they fell 20-18 to the Denver Broncos on Sunday in the AFC Championship game in Denver.
Sunday’s Cardinals-Panthers game marked the first time in National Football League playoff history that two Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks started against each other. That’s more than any quarterback was hit in any game for the 2015 season.
Denver’s top-ranked defense certainly delivered a message. “And the number of opportunities we had to do that”, said Belichick. A win by the Broncos would give Manning a fantasy ending, but I don’t see any physical or statistical reason why that will happen. We are not going just to take pictures. Should he go out in a blaze of glory like his boss John Elway did?
StoryManning, Broncos beat Pats to reach Super BowlColumnGlauber: Storybook finish for Peyton Manning? Let’s not forget about what happened to Manning against the Seattle Seahawks (#1 ranked in 2013) in Super Bowl XLVIII. Manning did not turn the ball over and that was the difference in the game for Denver.
The Denver Broncos will play the Carolina Panthers in the Super Bowl in Santa Clara, Calif., on February 7.
“I’ve enjoyed playing on the same team as that defense”, Manning said of his teammates.
Here we are approaching the end of another football season, and I just want to take a minute to pour a little out for our deposed champions, the New England Patriots.
“Besides the big plays at the end of the game, I think he had about 150 yards passing, got sacked five times, threw a pick and we dogged him”, Ward said. With New England needing a 2-point conversion to tie late in the game, Talib stepped in front of Tom Brady’s pass and deflected it and Roby intercepted it.
Azarenka she found it hard to watch the game as she prepared for a fourth-round clash against Barbora Strycova at the Australian Open, which she won.
“We lost to a very good team today”. “All day, these guys put their bodies and lives on the line, and for me to come out here and miss a kick, it’s a nightmare scenario”.
“No one is flawless”. With a chance to knot the game at seven, Gostkowski went wide right with his point-after attempt, his first miss since 2006. “We’re in this together”.
The best tight end in the game had fallen victim to the mile-high air and a bad case of the cramps. Still, the loss and those cramps will hurt Gronk for a while.
However, it was Keo who recovered the kick. When fans say that the Rams have an elite defense, watch the Broncos and then tell me the Rams have an elite defense. “They trust everybody in this locker room”. With both Edelman and Gronkowski available this time, it was supposed to be better.
THE RUN: Denver’s QBs sure have some memorable scrambles in the playoffs.
The Broncos have Vernon Davis, along with coaches Gary Kubiak, Greg Knapp, Brian Pariani and Chris Beake.
