Denver Broncos: Five Keys to Winning Super Bowl 50
Peyton Manning Must Step Up on Offense
The Denver Broncos rode their defense to the Super Bowl; however, they need Peyton Manning to perform well in Super Bowl 50 if the Denver Broncos want to have any chance of winning. Peyton Manning had arguably the worst season of his career in 2015, and there are some rumors swirling around that this could be “his last rodeo.”
Thus, Peyton Manning needs to start out hot for the Denver Broncos and provide them with some early scores next Sunday. The Carolina Panthers are known for bringing a lot of pressure, and we know that Manning struggles to cope with pressure while in the pocket. Moreover, the Denver Broncos need Manning to start out in Super Bowl 50 like he started out against the Patriots.
Peyton Manning started out on fire for the Denver Broncos last week, providing the Denver Broncos with an early lead that allowed them to defeat the Patriots. However, in the second half, Peyton Manning struggled to get the ball to open receivers, but to his defense, the Denver Broncos’ receiving core did drop several open passes.
The Denver Broncos must have Peyton Manning and the wide receiving core on the same page, because any missed opportunities could be devastating for trying to bring home a Super Bowl trophy. Peyton Manning is one of the NFL’s best game managers, and that bodes well for his chances on capturing another Super Bowl title.
Look for the Denver Broncos to lean on Manning’s experience and game-managing skills in Super Bowl 50. With the Denver Broncos carrying playoff experience into the game, it could provide a boost in high-pressure situations.
