This is the accepting of alone cine scripts, assorted endings decrepit with too abundant abracadabra to be believed. But it all absolutely happened actuality in Super Bowl 50 for the Denver Broncos during a annihilative 24-10 achievement over the Carolina Panthers.
The Broncos authored one of the greatest arresting performances in Super Bowl history adjoin the NFL's top-scoring offense, allowance QB Peyton Manning potentially go out a winner. Peyton Manning is a abundant story, but accomplish no mistake: He was a acknowledging amateur in this triumph. It was alone applicable that the game's absolute moment was fabricated by NFL Denver Broncos Von Miller (linebacker), the Super Bowl 2016 MVP.
With beneath 5 account larboard in a one account game, MVP Miller fought off Panthers accouterment Mike Remmers' antecedent block, biconcave his shoulder, kept his antithesis and accomplished with his continued larboard arm at QB Cam Newton. Miller accomplished the play, like he did all afternoon. The afterwards bollix was Carolina's fourth of the day and fourth about-face overall. Like the activating Steelers & Patriots offenses afore them, the Panthers' breach had no answers for this absurd Denver Broncos group. The aegis will be remembered as the key, yet Manning's adventure still resonates.
Manning said afterwards the bold that he will "take time to reflect" afore announcement any abeyant retirement, but every assurance credibility to this accepting Manning's final game. Afterwards advancing up abbreviate so generally in the playoffs with activating offenses, it will be harder for Manning to abide benumbed off into the dusk on the aback of this Broncos defense.
"I'll yield some time to reflect. I got a brace priorities first," Manning told CBS' Tracy Wolfson afterwards the game. "I'm traveling to go kiss my wife and kids. I wish to hug my family. I'm traveling to alcohol a lot of Budweiser tonight, Tracy, I affiance you that. I'm traveling to yield affliction of those things first. Definitely got to say a little adoration to acknowledge the man admiral for this abundant opportunity. I'm just actual grateful."
Manning knows that defenses like this don't appear about often. The Denver Broncos hit Cam Newton 13 times and sacked him 7 more. The Panthers' activating breach kept accepting affairs in the additional half, but Denver's aegis kept capacity them. Denver's appropriate teams and aegis about out-scored the Panthers on their own, ambience up the Denver Broncos for 17 points.
It's not like this was a biased game. The Panthers' aegis blimp Manning and the Broncos' active bold all night. Broncos alone had 194 yards of offense, 50 yards beneath than the antecedent low for a Super Bowl champion.
Manning alone threw for 141 yards on 23 attempts, and he had two cher turnovers that kept the NFL team Carolina Panthers in the game. But the Broncos' aegis was the best accumulation on the acreage for three beeline playoff amateur and the Panthers' breach didn't handle the big date well. Penalties, drops, poor canyon aegis and fumbles helped ruin Cam Newton's coronation. Instead of a new bearing rising, this was conceivably the endure blow of some accustomed names.
Peyton wasn't the alone longtime adept abacus a championship Sunday night. DeMarcus Ware may accept put a closing account on his Hall of Fame antagonism with four QB hits, two sacks and two tackles for loss. (Cornerback) Aqib Talib bounced aback from a abhorrent aboriginal bisected to advice the accessory accomplish big plays afterwards halftime. Arresting accouterment Malik Jackson & linebacker Danny Trevathan had monster amateur on the way to chargeless bureau payday. This was an abundantly complete defense, and their success on Sunday night was a validation for Broncos controlling VP and accepted administrator Elway.
Just two years ago, the Broncos were on the amiss ancillary of a 43-8 Super Bowl accident to the Seattle Seahawks. Elway was bent to accomplish his aggregation tougher, and he spent like crazy in chargeless bureau to body one of the game's best defenses. Afterwards addition aching playoff accident endure season, Elway fabricated the difficult best to blaze accepted drillmaster John Fox. Elway brought aback old accompany Gary Kubiak & arresting coordinator Wade Phillips to drillmaster the team. And Phillips capped off his arresting career active defenses with his aboriginal Super Bowl title.
It was an affecting anniversary for so abounding the Broncos. John Elway couldn't delay to grab the Vince Lombardi bays on the belvedere to acknowledgment the favor to longtime Broncos buyer Pat Bowlen, who is angry Alzheimer's disease.
"This one's for Pat!" Elway said, eighteen years afterwards Bowlen committed the team's aboriginal Super Bowl appellation to John.
Elway, already the arch man, knew that he had the best band of the night. The Denver Broncos blanket the appearance in SuperBowl 50, autograph a adventure that will be remembered as continued as football is played.
