CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen finally watched a replay of the Super Bowl 50 loss to Denver from start to finish this past week.
It brought back good memories of the journey it took to get there.
It brought back bad memories of how the Panthers self-destructed on offense, giving up two strip-sacks of Cam Newton that the Broncos turned into touchdowns in their 24-10 win.
But Olsen won’t be thinking about the Super Bowl when the Panthers and Broncos meet in Thursday’s NFL opener at Sports Authority Field in Denver.
