When the final whistle finally came, Peyton Manning did not jump wildly into the air, he clenched a fist, and he also did not cry out his pleasure. He stood easily on the sidelines and accepted the congratulations. In this case, his team had just secured the championship. After a hard-fought, sometimes thrilling final against the Carolina Panthers Manning won by 24:10 in Santa Clara, California, the Super Bowl. For the second time after 2007.
But the 39-year-old quarterback will have thought this evening at February 2, 2014. At the terrible humiliation by the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLVIII. With 43: 8, the Seahawks pulverized then the Broncos – although they were slight favorites went into the game and had fully expected Manning trying to crown his storybook career with a happy ending. Instead, he suffered the greatest humiliation of his career.
All the more important then the victory against the Carolina Panthers. Their acclaimed quarterback Cam Newton was already the MVP, Most Valuable Player of the season, chosen before the match and was bookies and experts as a safe winner. Newton represents the future of the game, for the new generation quarterbacks, playfully versatile, fearless and extremely entertaining. He is the “Superman” who can fly. Manning the “Sheriff”, giving his horse the spurs. A phase-out model, which was the only reason why the final, because the defense of the Broncos any opponent uncompromising
destroyed.
Secret Final Hero
This made them even against the otherwise unleashed attacking Panthers as a textbook. Above all, its central players from Miller, who was elected Most Valuable Player of the finals. Seven times he and his colleagues tore Newton with the ball on the ground and thus constituted a very old record of Chicago Bears from 1985 a. Such “quarterback sack” usually means that the offensive of the enemy does her job not right that they do not protect their king properly. Until that final offensive of the Carolina Panthers was the best of the league with hitherto only a defeat of the season
In the semifinals they pulverized the Arizona Cardinals with the 47th: 15th Against Manning Broncos she could manage just ten lean dots. A single touchdown succeeded the Panthers, who often disoriented stumbled across the square, dropped the balls or not even arrived in the free space. It must have seemed like a bad joke.
There are in football a truism, after the attack, although wins games, but the defense brings Title Newton. That Denvers defense won the title, is due mainly to one man: Wade Phillips. The 68-year-old defensive coordinator for the Broncos is the unsung hero of this final victory. Because one had shown the bad loss to the Seahawks two years ago: Denver had no defense. the defensive specialist Phillips, with whom he had already worked with the Houston Texans, piloted Only when Head Coach Gary Kubiak early 2015 to Colorado, was a candidate for the title of a good team. Perfectly matched to the individual abilities of the team.
Newton second chance
“You have Cam deterred to dabben all night, “said Denver linebacker Brandon Marshall aptly after the game. The “Dab” is Newton’s trademark, a cheer dance, the extrovert quarterback like lists in the opponent’s end zone when he scored a touchdown. But he had no opportunity to cheer, because the Broncos tied him a downright. Eventually lost the 26-year-old, who was standing for the first time in a final, the nerves.
As Manning three minutes before the end of the game with a ball to Bennie Fowler the two extra points had brought that brought the Broncos victory, Newton was sitting in a heap slumped on his bench, staring into space. As Manning two years earlier sat and watched burst his dream. Newton will get a second chance. Just as Manning.
Before this final he was the oldest regular quarterback in the history of the NFL finals. Afterwards he was the oldest winner. And he proved to be a great sportsman, praised his team, leaving the question of the progress of his career unanswered. No one expects that he will continue. His body is battered since a severe neck injury five years ago, his union has long been nothing more frightening. And he comes again in a final, is unlikely.
So he spoke rather of emotional decisions that were never good. He had also some obligations: “. I will now only times to kiss my wife and children and then drink a lot of beer is charged Von Miller.”
