Super Bowl 50. (National Football League)
Super Bowl 50 is coming up Sunday night as two completely different quarterbacks fight for the Super Bowl Champion title. Young Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers will take on veteran quarterback Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos 5:30 p.m Feb. 7 in San Francisco.
Newton could become the second player in football history to win the Heisman, National Title, MVP and Super Bowl all within a football career. Newton has to face one of the best defenses in the league Sunday night. The Broncos bring to the table experienced defensive lineman Demarcus Ware and other solid defensive players like Von Miller, Aqib Talib and Chris Harris. In turn, the Broncos will have to face a very explosive offense led by Newton, Michael Oher, Kelvin Benjamin and Greg Olson.
Denver holds a record of 0-4 in Super Bowls wearing orange uniforms, so this year they will wear the white uniform. In contrast, Carolina wore white when they lost to the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXVIII, so they will wear black this year. Overall, this match-up seems interesting due to the different quarterbacks, play styles and the different outcomes of history.
