the first big play of ga first quarter--von miller with the sack--and strip of carolina quarterback cam newton. this game was all about defense--and the broncos had and still do have the best in the league. second quarter--safety darian stewart forces the football out of mike tolbert's hands. broncos recovered--and had the lead 13 to seven. third quarter... t-j ward intercepts the cam newton pass... he gets the ball knocked out of his hands... but danny trevathan is there to jump on it. in the fourth... broncos up 16 to ten von miller seals up the super bowl m- v-p trophy... stripping newton for the second time... broncos hop on it. they'd add 12 more points... and go on to win 24 to ten. it was the tale of two m-v-p's in super bowl 50. one decided to show up--the other didn't. cam newton was the regular season m-v-p.... von miller would end up the super bowl m-v-p.... obvious to see why. he had two and a half sacks... forced two fumbles... both of which the broncos recovered. meanwhile--newton completed just about 44 percent of his passes... threw on interception.... no touchdowns... and fumbled the ball twice. hopefully--it'll be the same story in tonight's game. quarterback trevor siemian is set to make n-f-l
