You want a Super Bowl 50 prediction? Here’s the entire game story from Sunday—filed just a little bit early
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — As the silver and blue confetti fell to the grass at Levi’s Stadium, the best team in the NFL took its place among the best in league history. For the Panthers and league MVP Cam Newton—who threw for 246 yards and a touchdown and ran for another score—accepting the Lombardi Trophy was the final step in their season-long run of dominance.
With their 24-13 win over Peyton Manning’s Broncos, Carolina became just the third team ever—and first in 30 years—to finish 15-1 and win a Super Bowl, and the Panthers did it in the same fashion they have all season: relentless defense, a punishing run game and just enough magic from their quarterback.
