Broncos take 13-7 halftime lead over Panthers in Super Bowl

Denver is only the fifth team in the past half-century to rank No. 1 in both of those categories over a full season, according to STATS, and they shut down two-time Super Bowl champion Ben Roethlisberger’s Pittsburgh Steelers and four-time champ Tom Brady’s New England Patriots en route to the AFC title.

But I would like to think the Carolina Panthers won the Super Bowl and Cam Newton already dabbed at the 50-yard line as Roger Goodell hands him the game MVP trophy.

Slowed by age and injury, he is no longer the record-breaking passer he once was. “He’s one of one”.

“We got goal boards in our locker room and we see everything that we’ve done this year”, cornerback Aqib Talib said. He shows a lot of emotion.

“I keep saying it: We’re not finished”, Newton said. The Broncos have a great defense and a hall of fame quarterback but the Panthers also have a great defense and are very strong on defense. Newton completed 59.7 percent of his passes for 3,837 yards, 35 touchdowns and just 10 interceptions while running 132 times for 636 yards and 10 scores.

The Broncos jumped out to a 10-0 lead before the Panthers scored a second-quarter touchdown.

But Carolina squandered an opportunity early in the third quarter when a 44-yard field goal attempt by Graham Gano hit the right upright. He’s definitely a unique player. A broken play is arguably where Newton is at his most unsafe, improvising and freewheeling.

The long return put Denver in great field position, but they weren’t able to turn Norwood’s long run into a touchdown. He’s throwing the ball unbelievable right now, and then, you know what he can do with his legs. In the postseason, the Panthers have returned two of their six interceptions for touchdowns, both of which are National Football League bests.

In preparation for Sunday’s Super Bowl against the Carolina Panthers, the Denver Broncos listened to two veteran leaders at their team meeting on Saturday night – quarterback Peyton Manning and outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware.

Still, old man Manning faces his doubters and some think the Panthers defense is just as good as Denver’s. “We know what we have to do to get back in the games”, Anderson said. The red carpet is clean and lined for you.’ We would be honored to have him come in and sign that contract for a day and retire here. The game’s got the latest player stats and AI based around how each player actually plays. “You have to make sure the pocket is tight when you’re rushing him, but you have to be aggressive”. Not only is he doing things on the field we’ve never seen before, but he interacts with his fans, makes kids smile and appears to enjoy his life as a football player and celebrity. But Cam, he has an A-plus in all of that stuff, and when you mix it with his ability to make guys play at another level, it’s outstanding. Join The Roar for live scores and coverage of Super Bowl 50 from 10:30am (AEDT). This time, he’s tagging along with the league’s No. 1 defense. But they’ve fallen considerably in just a year, averaging 30.1 points in 2014, down to just 22.2 in 2015.
