Panthers 10, Broncos 24
The Denver Broncos are waking up on Monday morning the winners of Super Bowl 50, world champions for the third time in franchise history, thanks to a dominating performance by what is now in the running for the title of “Greatest Defense of All-Time.”
Denver walked away with a 24-10 victory on the shoulders of Von Miller‘s 2.5 sack, two forced fumbles performance that netted him the game’s MVP and what will surely be one of (if not the) largest contracts in NFL history this offseason. Peyton Manning now has the opportunity to ride off into the proverbial sunset just like his boss, John Elway, as a Super Bowl champion and finally with a winning record in the playoffs.
There were 51 other winners on Sunday, not to mention the practice squad and injured reserve players and the countless staffers inside the Broncos organization – from the ticket checkers in the 500 level all the way up to Mr. Bowlen himself – who can call themselves champions as well.
But for every batch of winners, there’s a group that will wear the mantle that’s all too familiar for Broncos fans, Super Bowl losers.
Here’s a look at the no-brainer studs, the under-the-radar studs and the duds from Denver’s Super Bowl 50 victory.
