The Super Bowl is often the most-watched TV show in a given year, which in the fractured media environment has become increasingly valuable to advertisers. Manning told Belichick after the Broncos’ 20-18 victory that this might be my “last rodeo” and it had been a pleasure to compete against him. It probably is, win or lose.

“All the offensive guys, we certainly want to carry our weight and not take our defense for granted”, said Manning, who acknowledged that won’t be easy against a Carolina defense that led the National Football League with 39 takeaways.

“As long as we’re wearing helmets and shoulder pads, there’s collisions between these big, physical, fast guys, head injuries are going to be a part of it”. Ready or not. Like him or not.
