Mile high misstep- Broncos steal opening night victory from Panthers

Thursday night marked the end of an excruciating offseason for everyone involved with the Carolina Panthers. Super Bowl 50 left bitter taste in the mouths of the Panthers. The anticipation of Thursday night’s game was much like the anticipation going into Super Bowl 50 this past February. Many people predicted the Panthers to win on opening night, just like many people predicted the Panthers to beat Denver in February. After a Super Bowl trophy presentation by the Broncos, the juiced up Panthers took the field and got off to a nice start. Forcing turnovers on Denver’s first two possession, the Carolina defense was making plays all over the field.
