The Denver Broncos upset the top-seeded Carolina Panthers to win Super Bowl 50 on Sunday night, giving quarterback Peyton Manning the chance to call a fairytale ending to his storied career. The 24-10 win over the Panthers marked the third Super Bowl triumph for Denver and second for 39-year-old Manning, who was playing in what many expect to be his final game. Manning, a five-time league most valuable player, added yet another line in the record books as he became the NFL’s oldest quarterback to play in a Super Bowl and first to reach 200 career wins. It was the top ranked Denver defence, however, that can claim credit for the victory after holding the league’s highest-scoring offence to a single touchdown and 10 points.
