“Honestly, I think there’s maybe too much placed on rings and Super Bowl championships just because it’s not one player”, Eli, who was named the MVP in two Super Bowl wins with the Giants, said on a conference call.

Much in the way that Julius Thomas was able to put together career years as the Broncos’ tight end, Owen Daniels is taking advantage of Peyton Manning’s penchant to locate big targets and pass over the middle of the field.
Denver is 4-1 this year as an underdog, winning outright when they were given points against the Kansas City Chiefs, Green Bay Packers and New England Patriots.
Following the Denver Broncos win against the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game, Peyton Manning will become the oldest quarterback to start in a Super Bowl and the only quarterback to take separate teams to the Super Bowl twice.
SB history: Kubiak, the only person to reach a Super Bowl as a player and head coach with the same team, has had more Super Bowl success as a coach.
But this is a different version of Manning.
Yes, he’s still out there yelling “Omaha!” On the sideline, Manning never takes his eyes away from printouts and looks like he’s constantly cramming for the SATs.
The 2015 season has been one to forget for the 14-time Pro Bowl selection with injuries and age limiting his effectiveness.
“That hasn’t been confirmed”, Manning said. “But I’m fortunate and grateful that I have the opportunity to contribute still, in some way”.
“Man, I wish I would have gone to a Super Bowl my rookie year”.
“By the time, the clock’s going down, you might have the last play”, he recalled. I think it’s the mere fact he brought up his ethnicity made everyone feel they had to react to it. “We’re not finished”, Newton said.
DOMINANT DEFENSES: Both of these teams excel at defense.
“The bottom line is I know Gary”.
Denver Broncos ace Manning, 39, is already assured of his place as one of the all-time great quarterbacks. Against Arizona, Carolina produced seven takeaways. “It’s like the guy that’s singing the nation anthem is still on the field and the game hasn’t even started yet”.
What Newton said didn’t change anyone’s opinion about him, and it shouldn’t have. “We wanted to keep the pressure on”. Our goal every season is to win the last game, but as I’ve learned, the road to the next one is paved by seasons like this one!
