The Broncos defense is what won that game. Carolina simply could not get through. The numerous bad calls against Carolina didn't help, either. Personally, I feel like they wanted Peyton to win the game just so he can retire as the most-winningest Quarterback in NFL history. I don't think anyone wanted him to retire tied with Brett Favre.
Either way, disappointing game, but oh well. Super bowl 51 bound. #KeepPounding
Yep, Denver owe this victory entirely to their defense; Miller completely negated Newton on the field (whatever happened to him, anyway?) and players like Talib did their job (even though he didn't really embody discipline) not to mention the kick takers were very good. I personally was cheering for Panthers too (REALLY dislike Peyton) but hopefully they'll be back next Super Bowl.
