The 24-10 Denver win gave a second Super Bowl to quarterback Peyton Manning, who is likely playing his final game.

Peyton Manning declined to comment on his potential retirement after winning the Super Bowl on Sunday in a 24-10 win over the Carolina Panthers.
The teams traded field goals in the second half before Denver again stripped Newton of the ball, forcing a fumble that led to a 2-yard CJ Anderson rushing touchdown. They went 15-1, led by near-unanimous MVP, quarterback Cam Newton.
According to ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio, Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning and linebacker DeMarcus Ware addressed the team Saturday Night during their team meeting and became very emotional. Definitely going to say a little prayer, thank the man upstairs for this great opportunity. Despite the Panthers’ physical blocking schemes-they often keep players near Newton in blocking roles to keep him upright-there was nothing they could do to prevent Miller from spinning his way past them. We know so much about these two teams, but many questions still remain.
As a result, Manning was benched for a few games as the Broncos started their transition to move past his era. Von Miller and company won’t make it easy on the Panthers, but I just don’t see Denver’s offense being able to do enough to pull off the win on Sunday. “I’m going with the Carolina Panthers”. They bullied Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game, and now it’s time to see if the Panthers offensive line is up for the challenge. It didn’t look like he could get the ball down the field. They didn’t let up against the bigger, more physical Newton (6-5, 260 pounds). His parents Susan and Dennis, and most of Brandon’s family, flew out to San Francisco, to watch him play in his first Super Bowl game.
