Super Bowl 50: Broncos Defeat Panthers, 24-10
- 8 years ago
Across a season where his team won 17 times and he was named the league's Most Valuable Player, Cam Newton appeared invincible.
Then along came Von Miller and DeMarcus Ware and Malik Jackson and Wade Phillips and the entire Denver Broncos defense that bruised, battered and eventually beat him in the biggest game of them all.
Denver 24, Carolina 10 in a defense-delivered upset in Super Bowl 50.
Manning, meanwhile, goes out a champion in what is likely his final game.
A five-time MVP, he was a shell of himself at age 39.
He did little in this game to contribute to the victory – 141 yards, no touchdowns, an interception and a fumble – but he was enough of a game manager to win a second Lombardi Trophy to match the total of his brother Eli.
