Super Bowl 50: Denver Broncos and the Carolina Panthers
After Carolina beat the Arizona Cardinals to win the AFC Championship on Sunday night, Newton referenced the nickname when he found out that’s who he would be playing against in the Super Bowl.
Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is set for a date against Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos for Super Bowl 50 at the Santa Clara Stadium in California.
Whether the Panthers or Broncos win, it will be interesting to see who takes home the Super Bowl 50 MVP award.
Well, turns out Rivera was right. When the Panthers drafted Newton, they were questions. He said he got the tattoo because he was so hopeful for a Super Bowl win for his team and thought this was the year that it would happen. “It’s not about getting there. It’s not about being a part of it. It’s about winning it. And that will be our main focus”.
The 17-year-old playfully critiqued Cam Newton’s celebratory dance technique. We all know Newton’s story after that, going to Florida, he left after some off-field issues, led Blinn College to a junior college national title, then led Auburn to a national title, and now has the Panthers in the Super Bowl. “The moment doesn’t come very often”.
“That’s what got us to where we are, so that’s going to be my emphasis as I go through this in terms of the schedule for the next two weeks”. His last appearance was during the 2006 season as Bears defensive coordinator under Bears head coach Lovie Smith, according to his bio on the Panthers’ website. In case you were wondering, the Broncos are 0-4 in Super Bowls in which they wore their orange jerseys. The Panthers in offense was, 11th in total yards, 24th in passing yards per game, and their main weapon; second in the rush. They finished the season as the No. 1 scoring offense in the league and led the NFL on defense in takeaways. Carolina won its first 14 games and went 15-1 overall, its lone setback coming in a Week 16 road loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
“Over 80 percent of the early money and tickets are on the Panthers -4.5, and we are still writing tickets at that ratio”, said John Avello, the race and sports operations director at Wynn and Encore.
They live to play another day.
“When you’re in a dogfight like we were today, every play counts”, Ginn said.
“We felt pretty confident all year long with the guys that we have and the character that we have”, said standout tight end Greg Olsen.
“What can you say about Cam?”
