Super Bowl 50 will feature the Denver Broncos against the Carolina Panthers.

Denver and Carolina feature very different quarterbacks. Newton has the ability to hurt defenses with both his arm and legs while Manning is a traditional pocket passer.

The matchup features two of the best defenses in the league. Denver’s front seven was able to harass Tom Brady in the AFC championship, and it led to Brady throwing three interceptions.

Josh Norman has become one of the best corners in football. The Broncos have two great corners of their own in Aqib Talib and Chris Harris, Jr.

Carolina has been to one Super Bowl in franchise history. The Panthers lost 32-29 to the Patriots in 2003.

Denver’s last Super Bowl appearance was in 2014 where they lost 43-8 to Seattle.

The Broncos and Panthers last played in 2012. Denver got a 36-14 road victory but this is a much better Panthers team they are facing in the Super Bowl. Carolina was just 2-7 at the time of the 2012 matchup.
