The Carolina Panthers had a chance to march down the field and take the lead in Super Bowl 50, but Von Miller made sure that didn’t happen. The Denver Broncos linebacker made a great individual effort to get to Panthers quarterback Cam Newton to force a fumble, which the Broncos recovered. And that wasn’t the first time Miller made an impact Sunday with a big forced fumble. Denver capitalized a few plays later when C.J. Anderson scored the Super Bowl-sealing touchdown on a 2-yard run into the end zone. The Broncos won the game 24-10. Thumbnail photo via Richard Mackson/USA TODAY Sports Images ...

Super Bowl 50: Simulator Predicts Panthers Defeat Broncos In Tight Game
It’ll be a battle of the defenses when the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos take the field for Super Bowl 50 on Sunday, at least according to one simulator. WhatIfSports.com used its NFL simulation engines to make a Super Bowl 50 prediction, and after running it 501 times it seems Peyton Manning’s nightmares will be littered with Carolina Blue. The Panthers won Super Bowl 50 in 59.6 percent of the simulations by an average score of 20-16. Manning typically outgained Cam Newton in their air, 208 passing yards to 193, and each averaged roughly one touchdown and one interception.

Tom Brady Doesn’t Make Top 15 In ESPN’s Ranking Of Super Bowl MVP Performances
Tom Brady has had some memorable Super Bowl performances, but where does he rank among his fellow MVPs? Well, ESPN took a crack at that very question when it ranked all 49 Super Bowl MVPs based on their performances on football’s biggest stage. The Patriots quarterback made the list three times, but none of those were within the top 15 spots. Brady’s best ranking was 16th for his performance in Super Bowl XXXVIII against the Carolina Panthers. His comeback effort against the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX was right behind at No. 17, and his performance against the St. Louis Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI was ranked No. 32. Deion Branch, the only
Wiz Khalifa Performs At Patriots Super Bowl Ring Ceremony (Video)
Robert Kraft brought out a heavy-hitter to DJ the New England Patriots’ Super Bowl XLIX championship ring ceremony. Rapper, and (former?) Pittsburgh Steelers fan, Wiz Khalifa performed at the event, hosted by Kraft. With the Patriots preparing to open their season against the Steelers, it’s unlikely Khalifa spun his track “Black and Yellow” at the party. Check out video and photos of Khalifa hanging with current and former Patriots on Sunday night: Thumbnail photo via Twitter/@StevanRidley ...
Richard Sherman Has No Time For ‘Preschool Questions’ During Super Bowl Week
For better or worse, Richard Sherman is not afraid to make his voice heard. The boisterous Seattle Seahawks cornerback has made a name for himself both on the field and off, and he’s already doing his best to steal the show in the week leading up to the Super Bowl. Sherman hit the ground running in Arizona, as he wasted no time in saying some things. He questioned how New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s relationship with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell might affect the league’s investigation into DeflateGate. He also was asked about his standing among the league’s best cornerback, especially how it relates to New England cornerback Darrelle Revis. “I don’t measure my
