Super Bowl 50 saw the Denver Broncos secure a 24–10 victory over the Carolina Panthers at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. This match was notable for the Broncos' dominant defensive performance. The Broncos' defense, led by Von Miller, who was named Super Bowl MVP, was instrumental in the win. Miller recorded 2.5 sacks and two forced fumbles, both of which led to touchdowns. Peyton Manning, in what would be his final NFL game, managed the offense effectively, though it was the defense that clearly determined the outcome of the game.
The Panthers, with a 15-1 regular-season record and an MVP in quarterback Cam Newton, came in as favorites but were stifled throughout the contest. Newton struggled to find rhythm against the Broncos' aggressive pass rush and threw for 265 yards with no touchdowns and one interception. The Panthers' only touchdown came from a 1-yard run by Jonathan Stewart.
This matchup was also significant for being the first Super Bowl held at Levi's Stadium, as well as marking the 50th anniversary of the championship game, celebrated with various pre-game festivities and commemorations of past Super Bowl moments. The game had an estimated 111.9 million viewers, making it one of the most-watched broadcasts in television history.
The outcome solidified the Broncos’ third Super Bowl title and bolstered the legacy of their general manager, John Elway, who had won titles as both a player and executive. For Manning, the victory added a second Super Bowl win to his illustrious career, leading to his retirement on a high note.
