Sports: Super Bowl in the Books; Pistons and Wings tonight
The Broncos defense carried Denver to its third Super Bowl triumph, 24-10 over the mistake-prone Carolina Panthers. In what may have been his final game, 39-year-old Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning did just enough to manage the victory to give him a 2-2 record lifetime in Super Bowls. This was Manning's 200th career victory. Manning was 13 of 23 for 141 yards with one interception. Carolina QB Cam Newton, finished 18 of 41 for 265 yards, no touchdowns and one interception. He fumbled twice, leading directly two touchdowns, and was sacked six times. One of Newton's fumbles was recovered in the end zone by Malik Jackson for the first TD of the game that gave Denver a fast 10-0 lead. Carolina battled back to make it close, trailing 16-10. But Denver capitalized on another Carolina mistake and put it out of reach with a touchdown and two-point conversion to make it 24-10. The game MVP was Denver linebacker Von Miller. Denver has now won three Super Bowls. They won back to back in 1998 and 1999, with John Elway at the helm. They added Super Bowl 50 with Elway as Denver's vice president of football operations and GM. Elway dedicated the win to Broncos owner Pat Bowlen, who suffers from Alzheimer’s disease.
