That’s not the case for the Denver Broncos, a franchise with seven previous Super Bowl appearances and two wins.

Slowed by age and injury, he is no longer the record-breaking passer he once was.
Super Bowl 50 will be wonderful.
Manning earned $882,352 each week during the regular season. The Panthers enter the game as favorites, and it is pretty clear that they have more talent. While it’s uncertain if he will play beyond Super Bowl 50, getting to the big game has added to his legacy even more.
As you have likely seen, Azarenka does the post match “Dab” that Panthers QB Cam Newton does. Had New England taken care of business against either the Eagles or Dolphins, two below-.500 teams, the Patriots would be making Super Bowl travel plans, not cleaning out their lockers. “He had a great year for us”, Belichick said of Gostkowski, who had made 523 consecutive extra points until that moment and was just one of five kickers who did not have a miss the entire season.
The Carolina Panthers earned their right to become part of Super Bowl 50 only for the second time in its two decades in the league, but it couldn’t have come at a much better time. “I keep saying it: We’re not finished”.
“They jumped out early and got on top of us”. The Patriots ran the ball 14 times for just 31 yards and with little mystery of what New England was going to do, Denver’s front four was able to routinely get into the backfield and hurry the two-time MVP’s throws. On the ensuing possession, CJ Anderson fumbles near the goal line, and the Panthers go into halftime with a 7-0 lead. “We wanted to keep the pressure on”. The Broncos, meanwhile, lost both of their starting safeties – T.J. Ward and Darian Stewart – to injuries during Sunday’s game.

If anyone deserves the trip to the Super Bowl more than Carolina linebacker Thomas Davis, playing awesome football after suffering three ACL tears to the same knee, I don’t know who it is.
