SANTA CLARA, Calif. – The underdog Denver Broncos shocked the heavily-favorited Carolina Panthers 24-10 in Super Bowl 50 on Sunday it what was likely the final game of Peyton Manning's 18-year NFL career.
If this was the "last rodeo" for one of the greatest quarterbacks the game has ever seen, it certainly is a fitting end, that couldn't have been scripted by a Hollywood writer any better.
Manning, in conjunction with the devastating Denver defense, led his team to victory over NFL MVP Cam Newton and the No. 1 ranked Carolina offense. At 39-years old, Manning became the oldest starting quarterback in Super Bowl history, and certainly stands atop as the oldest to ever win the big game.
If you didn't get a chance to see the game, or missed any part of it for any reason, feel free to relive the game with us through pictures that tell the story of Super Bowl 50 and the Broncos big victory. Enjoy.
