Well...I was wrong. I though that Carolina's D would show up in force and in end, it was Denver that got the job done. Like any other defensive showdown, it wasn't a very exciting game...but it was interesting to watch Cam fold. Manning looks old, stiff. He had a decent game at best, it was good to see he didn't get MVP. On the note of Manning, I really hope he rides off into the sunset on this win like Elway did. It is the best outcome for him. He's a great player with an amazing career, it's sad to see him go.
I think the most disappointing thing was Newton's complete childish stunt session in the post game interview, what a scrub move that was. Manning lost SB 48 and then, like a true professional, took the stage and addressed the press with class. Something Newton lacks, apparently.
