Peyton Manning, despite an entirely lackluster performance, is a World Champion once again, hopefully in his last game ever. His two Turnovers and historically bad streak of 3rd Down failures allowed Carolina to hang around, but in the end, it was the incompetence of the Panther Offense to get anything going that allowed Manning to go out on top with a 24-10 triumph.
Carolina — a 6-point favorite to win the game — underperformed on the Offensive side of the ball all game long. Cam Newton was simply horrible in his first Super Bowl, making decisions worse than the one his Dad allegedly made asking colleges to pay $300,000 for his son to attend.
