The game is on and the final contenders are in. It is the Broncos versus the Panthers for Super Bowl 50 2016. Now it will be all about quarterbacks, since both teams sailed swiftly to the finals by the best quarterbacks in the league.
The games will feature a matchup between Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers and Peyton Manning of the Denver Broncos. These two are arguably the most effective quarterbacks in the NFL today.
The more senior of the two, Manning, is the only NFL player who was given the title of MVP five times. At 39, he seems to be still at the top of his game, although it is rightly said the he is the oldest quarterback who has led a team to the coveted game.
But new guards are coming in to replace the old ones. Newton, on the other hand, expects to be given his first MVP plum after his team defeated the Arizona Cardinals in their own NFC finals. Fans were chanting 'MVP' at their victory closing ceremonies. This is his fifth year in the NFL, and his first year to appear in the Super Bowl.
It will be an interesting battle between the overly grilled veteran and the fresh-in-the-can upstart. Who will win the battle will be answered come Feb. 7.
The Broncos licked the Patriots after a grueling 20 - 18 game to gain a slot in Super Bowl 50. It was their defense that earned them the right to face their opponent at Santa Clara. Manning, is seemingly not throwing the towel yet.
Their opponent, the Panthers, have made mincemeat of the Arizona Cardinals 49 - 15 on their trip to Levi Stadium.
Many believe that the Super Bowl 50 will be Manning's swan song. No matter what, fans are in for the most awaited game in 2016 - the fight between the old and the new.
