After years of carrying flawed Broncos teams to the Super Bowl, Elway finally won two titles at the end of his career in a very different role – a game manager who won behind a Terrell Davis-led running game and a solid defense.

Carolina Panthers Mike Tolbert (35) fumbles as he is taken down by Denver Broncos Darian Stewart (26) during the first half of the NFL Super Bowl 50 football game today in Santa Clara, Calif. Sure, all week I’ve heard and read scenarios where the Broncos find a way to win the game.
Where can I watch Super Bowl 50 on TV and online?
Manning threw an interception but was efficient enough throwing 13/23 for 141 yards.
Spillway has many regular customers who helped them bring in the big game, whether they stopped in for a drink or carried out an order of wings.
In fact, Denver’s offense was historically anemic.
So is this the final game of Manning’s career?
“This game was like this season has been”.
“Denver did some really good things on the defensive side of the ball and made some plays”, head coach Ron Rivera said.
The Broncos never trailed in the game.
Not only did the Broncos defense produce four takeaways and seven sacks, they scored one of the game’s three touchdowns.
So, the Broncos had the momentum again, and Manning rode the wave, finding receiver Emmanuel Sanders for gains of 25 and 22 yards that set up a 30-yard field goal by McManus that gave the Broncos a 16-7 lead. The Denver Broncos played the New England Patriots in the AFC championship game at Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver, Jan. 24, 2016.
Security was heavy and visible Sunday around Super Bowl locations, from hotels in San Francisco to Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara. But Newton, who was crowned the league’s MVP for 2015, responded by leading the Panthers on a nine-play, 73-yard scoring march highlighted by a pair of long scrambles and sizable completions on crossing routes. “Ever. To do that to the guy that’s changing the game, unbelievable”. But the bottom line is they’re good across the board. Cam Newton would get two chances to work the magic that he conjured all season. He worked with personal trainer Mackie Shilstone in New Orleans on a vigorous regimen after the season, in part because a thigh injury had limited his effectiveness the second half of the season. Newton was 18 of 41 for 265 and the interception.
In short order, the celebrations started, and Manning had to face the questions regarding his future. “I think you can always refer back to prior situations and two-minute drives or a fourth-and-goal from the 2-yard line”, Manning said. “I definitely feel like I’m in better shape than I was coming in to OTAs (organised team activities), and I feel like I’ll be in better shape going into training camp”. “I said, ‘Doc, I didn’t ask you if I was going to have a hip replacement”.

Manning is 39, which is something like 270 in dog years, but even older in National Football League quarterback years. Dallas Cowboys DB James Washington was the last to turn a fumble into a defensive score in 1994 against the Buffalo Bills.
