SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Giant banners featuring Super Bowl 50 quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Cam Newton welcomed visitors entering Levi's Stadium. That was as good as either quarterback looked during a Super Bowl that was brutal for both offenses.
Utter offensive futility is the flip side to any great defensive battle. The Broncos made 11 first downs and gained 194 yards of offense in their 24-10 victory, the lowest yardage total for a Super Bowl winner. Newton completed 18 of 44 passes (44 percent). Both quarterbacks threw interceptions and lost fumbles. There were two offensive touchdowns, on 1- and 2-yard rushes.
