Question of the Day: Who You Got in Super Bowl 50?
Midway through training camp, Newton and cornerback Josh Norman, both of whom were first-team All-Pro selections from the Associated Press following the season, were involved in a heated fight that required the entire offense to break up.
Super Sunday is nearly upon us, when the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers square off in Super Bowl 50.
“So that’s one thing you can guarantee yourself on Super Bowl Sunday”. Could the Broncos rally around Peyton Manning in what could be his last rodeo, just as the Ravens upset the 49ers in Ray Lewis’ final game? Pass rushers are essentially limited to straight-line rushes. Instead we get the Carolina Panthers and the Denver Broncos in a matchup of (1) a team that plays like the Seahawks and (2) a team that the Seahawks thrashed in the Super Bowl two years ago. Our team naturally enjoyed having him around because he brings so much energy; he’s pretty excited about what he’s doing on the field and very competitive.
Super Bowl 50 kicks off at 6:30 p.m. EST at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Excuse me while I think about that Super Bowl again for a while. Since being drafted in 2011, Newton has thrown for 3,837 yards, 117 touchdowns and rushed for 43 touchdowns in comparison to Peyton’s 18 on the ground. As part of media obligations this week, he gave an interview to alist about one of his passions off the field: video games.
The Panthers have feasted on pocket passers all season, the latest example being Carson Palmer, who committed six turnovers in Carolina’s 49-15 win over Arizona in the NFC championship. Gamblers can take Carolina+10.5, but the bet comes with -1000 odds, and taking Denver-10.5 comes with +600 odds.
Nick: This will be a contrast with my head and heart.
Several people in downtown Bozeman Friday said they are ready for a good time this weekend. It has been their year all season long and it would only make sense for them to finish the job. They had a 31-0 halftime lead against Seattle in a second-round playoff game and held on to win, 31-24.
Everybody will be looking for Cam Newton to put up astronomical numbers, and he might just do that, but the Panthers will be more focused on getting Jonathan Stewart loose in the running game.
Should Nelson and Williams each play in Sunday’s game, it’d mark the 59th and 60th occasions that a Sooner has appeared in the Super Bowl.
“My little brother is a Peyton Manning fan, and I’m a huge Peyton Manning fan so it’d be cool to see him win”, Durant said.
I’m interested in a football game and I think it’ll be a good one. Defensive ends like Von Miller and Demarcus Ware have to defend the edges just in case Newton does decide to take off on a designed rush, so they can’t just fire off the snap like they did so well against New England.
