The Super Bowl grass made by West Coast Turf was installed last month.

Actually, Rivera ordered a punt on fourth down. One I just did on objective.
Upon receiving the Super Bowl MVP trophy this morning, Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller said it’s only the second-best award he’s receiving. It would be hard to watch him take the field again after a performance that exposed him as an aging quarterback hanging on for one final moment of glory.
Not that it mattered. “Coach (Wade) Phillips, he called the play”. “A Manning, a Brady, all these guys that has been the prototypical quarterbacks in our league…they would not do that….You’re opening yourself up for more criticism. I’m just very grateful”.
The NFL used West Coast Turf sod for the first time since a few Super Bowls more than a decade ago. “It tested our toughness, unselfishness and our resilience”. It’s only fitting it turned out that way. “There’s no question the defense led the way, but everybody did their part, and I’m grateful to be apart of it”. “He won a Super Bowl – it’s the best way to go out”.
We may never know what happened on that fumble but we do know it was costly.
“In my opinion, we’re the greatest defense to ever play the game”, linebacker Brandon Marshall said.
He created Denver’s first touchdown by zooming past right tackle Mike Remmers and breaking in on Newton to rip the football away from the QB, who was honored as the regular-season MVP on Saturday night. The Panthers forced eight three-and-outs and held the Broncos offense to just 194 total yards, reports David T. Foster III at CharlotteOberserver.com.
NOTES: Broncos QB Peyton Manning became the oldest quarterback to start a Super Bowl at 39 years, 220 days. “It’s really been a team effort and it was team win tonight”, he said.
But it was Miller’s ferocious display that left an emotionally-distraught Newton to conduct a shambolic three-minute press conference of one-word answers before he walked out. We gave up sacks.
That was about it, though there was incompetence aplenty from both offences.
He threw one interception and lost a fumble, but also showed the mind that will make him a first-ballot Hall-of-Famer on the two-point play.
“He comes back and leads this group at the end”, Kubiak said.
However, Archie Manning, Peyton’s father and the patriarch of football’s first family, had some of the most honest comments about his son’s future uttered all night.
“…he’s been through a lot, he’s going to be 40 years old”.

Yes, the game was ugly.
