#3- Wide Receivers and Tight Ends
While Manning does not have the same star-studded cast of guys to throw to like he did a few years back, the receiving corps of Demaryius Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders, Owen Daniels among others are the type of guys to get the job done.
The key here for me in this game is that the dropped balls have to be at a very minimum. I would really like to see none at all. Hey, a guy can dream can’t he?
In the last Super Bowl, Demaryius Thomas had a stellar game that was overshadowed by the beatdown that they suffered. And we know that Sanders and Daniels are looking forward to playing in this game.
Sanders has played in the Super Bowl once before, but was knocked out of it with an injury. While for Daniels, he will be playing in his first Super Bowl.
I am going to go right ahead and say this. If Daniels can get some positive plays going, I think he will play a big part in this passing game. Demaryius Thomas will most likely be covered by Josh Norman, who has played like one of the best corners in the game.
However, I would not be surprised to see Thomas get a few past Norman. As for Sanders, he always comes up big in the clutch. And I can see him doing that again on Sunday.
So, once again, keep the drops at a minimum and make some big plays against a pass defense ranked No. 11 in the regular season, and things will go your way.
