5 Reasons the Denver Broncos Win Super Bowl 50
By Tylor Walden
With the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers playing in this year’s big game, I give some of the reasons why the Broncos will hoist the Lombardi Trophy.
We are only five days away from crowning a new champion in the NFL. And for the third straight season, it will be a battle between the No. 1 seed in the AFC and the No. 1 Seed in the NFC.
The Broncos are making their second Super Bowl appearance in three years. The Panthers will be making their first Super Bowl appearance since the 2003 season.
Just like Super Bowl 48, this will be a battle between the No. 1 offense against the No. 1 defense. The Broncos were on the bad end of that matchup. But it has been so impressive how this team has changed its identity in the last couple years since then.
The Panthers are led by Cam Newton, who will most likely win the MVP award this weekend. Their offense has averaged 40 points per game in the two playoff games. The Broncos defense has allowed 17 points per game.
There are so many storylines for this Super Bowl, none bigger for Broncos fans than Peyton Manning. The signal caller for the Broncos was hurt halfway through the season and came back in the final game for Brock Osweiler, who held his own for six games this year.
As of this writing, the Carolina Panthers are the favorites of this Super Bowl as Vegas has them as a six-point favorite. But anything can happen, especially in the Super Bowl.
With that said, I am going to give my five reasons why the Denver Broncos will be hoisting the Lombardi Trophy on Sunday.
