Will he go out on top? Peyton Manning of the Denver Broncos celebrates with the Vince Lombardi Trophy after his team’s 24-10 Super Bowl 50 victory over the Carolina Panthers in Santa Clara, Calif. on Feb. 7.

The Denver Broncos beat the Carolina Panthers 24-10 in Super Bowl 50 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Califoia.

The Broncos sealed the game with a touchdown and two-point conversion to go up 24-10 with three minutes to play after a Panthers fumble. After a touchdown from running back C.J. Anderson, Peyton Manning completed a 4-yard pass to Bennie Fowler.

The game was filled with tough defensive play. 

Von Miller forced two fumbles from Cam Newtown and sacked the quarterback 2 1/2 times. 

The offense was far from prolific.

Newton went 18/41 for 265 yards. He was sacked seven times.

Manning threw an interception but was efficient enough throwing 13/23 for 141 yards.  Jordan Norwood ran down the sideline for the longest punt retu in Super Bowl history to set up a 33-yard Brandon McManus field goal to put the Broncos up 13-7 during the first half.

The Broncos went up 16-7 after a 30-yard field goal from McManus on the team's first offensive possession of the second half.

Jonathan Stewart scored the Panthers touchdown early in the second quarter, capping a 72-yard drive. Graham Gano connected for a 39-yard field goal to bring the score to 16-10 in the fourth quarter. Gano missed earlier on a 44-yard kick in the second quarter. 

It the 200th win of Manning's career. He did not indicate he is retiring after winning his second Super Bowl.

 

'I'll take some time to reflect, I got a couple priorities first; I want to kiss my wife and my kids, I want to go hug my family,' Manning said. 'I'm going to drink a lot of Budweiser tonight, I promise you that.'
