Broncos win Super Bowl 50
Feb 8th
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — History was on the line, and it was achieved as the Broncos dismantled the Carolina Panthers 24-10 to win Super Bowl 50.
Peyton Manning is now the only starting quarterback to guide two teams to Super Bowl wins. History will not remember that Manning was limited to 141 yards on 13-of-23 passing and a 56.6 quarterback rating; it will recall that he has that unique team accomplishment along with the two most significant milestones for his position and the best single season for a quarterback in NFL history.
Von Miller had the greatest individual defensive performance in Super Bowl history in winning the MVP award: 2.5 sacks for 27 yards in losses and two forced fumbles, one of which was recovered for a touchdown, with the other setting up C.J. Anderson‘s game-clinching points.
The Broncos have their third world championship. Gary Kubiak has world championships as a head coach and an assistant coach with the only NFL team for which he played. John Elway is the first man in NFL history to win a Super Bowl MVP trophy and a Vince Lombardi Trophy as a general manager.
Owner Pat Bowlen has his third world championship in 32 seasons as Broncos owner. Although Alzheimer’s disease prevented him from being at Levi’s Stadium for Super Bowl 50, Elway ensured the moment was all about the team’s beloved boss, declaring, “This one’s for Pat!” and providing perfect symbiosis with Bowlen’s declaration after the club’s first Super Bowl win 18 years ago.
Denver’s defense etched its name alongside the 1985 Bears, 2000 Ravens, 2002 Buccaneers and 2013 Seahawks as the best title-winning defense of the Super Bowl era. It dared NFL MVP Cam Newton to throw and feasted on the goodies, intercepting him ones, pressuring him into 23 incompletions in 41 attempts and, along with six sacks of Newton and one of Ted Ginn Jr. on a trick play, limited the Panthers to just 4.1 yards per pass play.
It was a performance that belonged to the ages and proved that the old maxims about defense and stopping the run remain valid. How did the Three Keys turn out?

CU Buffs Football
The Buffs are only 18 days away from their season opener at Hawaii on September 3rd. CU will welcome the University of Massachusetts on September 12th for their home opener at Folsom Field. The big news this week out of Boulder is that head coach Mike Macintyre said that he will select four captains for each game this year, with those four being picked from a 12-player leadership group. Macintyre said “I’ll rotate four of those guys each game to be a team captain. That way we have more guys out there leading, more guys that have voices and we’re developing more of a cohesive group.”
Colorado Rockies
Chris Rusin tossed his first career shutout on Sunday as the Rockies defeated the Padres, 5-0, at Coors Field. Rusin allowed five hits, one walk and got 12 ground-ball outs in his first win since June 21.

Overall the Rockies are still struggling sitting 18 games back the NL West leading Dodgers
Denver Broncos
Good news for Broncos fans because football is officially back and the Broncos were able to win their first pre season game in Seattle. Brock Osweiler was Starting in place of Peyton Manning, who went through pregame warmups but was just a spectator, Osweiler finished with a 112.7 rating. He capped his night with a 17-yard touchdown pass to tight end Virgil Green late in the first half for a 19-10 lead. Denver’s offense finished with 240 yards in the half, although much of that came with most of Seattle’s starting defense standing on the sideline.
