The Denver Broncos won a turnover-filled Super Bowl 50 Sunday night at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, defeating the Carolina Panthers 24-10. NFL MVP Cam Newton threw an interception and fumbled twice, including one that was returned for a touchdown by the Denver defense in the first quarter. The Panthers' high-powered offense struggled all game against the Broncos' tough defense. Linebacker Von Miller, who harassed Newton all game and came up with two critical strip-sacks, was the game's MVP.
This is quarterback Peyton Manning's second Super Bowl win. During the first quarter, Brandon McManus of the Broncos made an early field goal, and Malik Jackson followed up with a touchdown after a Newton fumble. In the second quarter, running back Jonathan Stewart scored a touchdown for the Panthers, followed by another McManus field goal. McManus had his third field goal of the game during the third quarter, bringing the score to 16-7, but the Panthers earned three points in the fourth quarter after a field goal from Graham Gano. Late in the fourth quarter, running back C.J. Anderson scored a touchdown for the Broncos.
