Younger Manning Eli says Peyton’s legacy safe, win or lose

Peyton Manning will play decently, but is a lock for at least one untimely interception. Aggressive play calling on the defensive side of the ball will play a large part in limiting Peyton Manning, who’s struggled throughout much of the year.

The two friends attended 42 consecutive Super Bowls together, but Whittaker eventually had to drop out of the pact due to health issues.

“I played a little bit when I was in community leagues”, he said.

Luckily for all of the kids in the stands, Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, the superhero whose power has been mastering the art of “dabbing”, will make this game a high-scoring one, handing out footballs left and right to kids just waiting for their chance to embrace their hero.

Receiver Demaryius Thomas can envision the proper ending to this drama for Denver.

The Panthers have only managed so far to play a single Super Bowl game. Newton’s swagger doesn’t seem to bother an old school Hall of Famer. “I’m excited about it, and hopefully we can get this win, and if he decides to retire then he can go out with a bang”. If Denver turns the ball over this game could get ugly fast.

This is the third straight season the top seeds have won conference titles. There is a mutual respect there, with Jordan a regular at numerous Panthers games and Newton known to sit courtside at Hornets home games. That D might not match the stats of the Broncos (14-4), who ranked first overall, but it’s just as impactful.

“For us, the ultimate goal for this sport is to win a Super Bowl”.

Anderson was 10-5 as a starter for Cleveland in 2007 and went to the Pro Bowl that year, but he lasted only two more seasons with the Browns.

That’s where the Panthers have arrived. Bill Belichick already completed a scouting trip to the Senior Bowl in Alabama, and the Patriots, along with the Seahawks and Steelers, are favored to win next year with 8-1 odds. For both organizations this game is going to revolve around one word: defense.

“If you look at a cat scan of an individual who has done cocaine or methamphetamine and you look at a cat scan of someone who has just gambled, the cat scan will look exactly the same”, said Cox.

Of course, the Panthers have an advantage at tight end, as Greg Olsen has exceeded 1,000 yards in two straight seasons.
