Good evening, and welcome to another sports extra edition of chase for the championship. The golden game. Super bowl l was the first time in super bowl historyythat a game featured twoonfl top overall draft picks. Heres how things played out. The broncos going for their third World Championship. 1, just playing in their third super bowl. Peyton manning, a career 13 in the big game. Its cam newtons first. The broncos put up 3 on the opening drive. Then followed up with that. A meeting of the top 2 picks the draft. Von miller strips cam newton and its recovered in the end zone. The number 1 defense bit first. Carolina settled down. Newton, greg olsen, across the field and is running for some big yards. After a few penalties, the panthers kept pounding, Jonathan Stewart going airborne for 6 and weve got a ballgame. 107, 2nd quarter later. Jordan norwood with a fair catch . No, down the sideline, fooled them all. Daylight, nearing the end zone. Finally taking them down after a 61yarda return. Thats the longest in super bowl history. The defense shows up again. Pain. The ball came out. The broncos second turnover. Peyton and company back on the offensive. Picked by coney ely, that was a missed opportunity. For the 4th time, Demarcus Ware gets to him. The broncos headed to the locker room up 137. 3rd quarter, panthers on the move. Superman stricken by t. J. Wards kryptonnite. He fumbles. The broncos would go 3rd and the 4th quarter, where champions are made. Von miller, pay that man. 2. 5 sacks in the afc championship, and 2. 5 sacks in the biggest game of his life set up the broncos up for a the score. That would be the nail in the coffin. The broncos worll champs. Wow, what a ride. Peyton manning, 141 yards and a pick. Von miller, super bowl mvp. 6 tackles, 2. 5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles. A World Championship has never been sweeter. Stopping the run, getting the turnovers. Thats the reason were standing here tonight. I know a lot of people expect for us to go out and putt up 45 points, 50 points, but we made the plays at the time we needed to. Thats what matters at the end of the day. We did what we needed to do, and now were sitting here world champs. We got outplayed. Is there a reason why . Cup on, man. Weve got team coverage, everybody. Sports director joining us now from levi stadium. Wow, lb. What a journey this has been for this team. Reporter now doubt, and it ended here tonight. The chase for the championship ends with a championship. Right here at levi stadium. People are still here. Take a look around. People still celebrating. Over there having some drinks on the field. The scoreboard is still lit up. Super bowl l champions. The golden super bowl. And the broncoo take it home. For Peyton Manning. For mr. B. For john elway. For the entire bronccs organization. Now we talked about it all week long. Defense wins championships. Defense won this game. If you look at Peyton Mannings stats. Thats a losing quarterbacks stats. A losing quarterback. The offense, 1 for 14 on 3rd downs. 194 total yards. It was awful. When they needed to. The defense got 7 sacks, 6 on cam muten. They got one defensive touchdown. They stripped the ball from cam twice. Von miller, 2. 5 sacks. 6 tackles. The defensive mvp. We said all along all season that defense would win this championship and they did. Take a listen. Our defense has just been from the get go, theyve been nothing but awesome. And so, you know, being hurt, and not, struggling early in the season, wasnt a lot of fun. So i was grateful to get back healthy, and to try to play my part these past couple weeks. All that matters is e believe in us. Thats the motto, man, we believe in us, and weve done it all year. You know what i believe in, is defense winning championships. Yes, everybody wants to talk about ffense all the time. The underrog, because tom brady has a great offense. Or cam newton has the number 1 no one wants to talk about defense, man. They say defense wins championships. Wow, this efense won this thing. Theyre right this time. Wherever they are. Our defense played tremendous. It takes a whole team obviously, but the way they played, well the whole season, but the last three games to give up 6, 16, and 10 to the best offenses in the league. This team played well on the best stage there is. I felt happy. He come in and show us how to do it, be calm, dont get no flags after the play. For someone to teach me Something Like that, its a blessing, man. Its a blessing. Sure is. Art anderson is here. Weve got the jackets. The championship jackets now. Two time super bowl champ. Broncos receiver. Who was that . It was my guy. What did Peyton Manning say . He was trying to get me to the after party. So well have to see when i can get out of here. Peyton just called Brandon Stokley right here after the super bowl championship. He has his two rings now. Look, hes got to go. Hes got to ride off into the sunset now doesnt he . I think he is. I think thats the last time well see him play. And what a great way to go out. Holding the trophy. Mic drop and walk off. Glue look at peytons stats and say theres no way this team won, but it really goes back to the heart of this club. They fought tooth and nail. They had 11 wins this year by 7 points or less. Thats a record. Today they held a team that averaged in the postseason, 31 points . Held them to 10. Unbelievable. They got to cam newton 6 times. The defense got a touchdown. Von miller got two strip sacks. The defense won it, but it was a team effort. Lets listen to more broncos talking about this super bowl championship. I remember when i first got here, i said super bowl or bust. We didnt bust. So were world champions. We have an Amazing Group of guys across the roster, across the Coaching Staff and the organization. A bunch of dudes that just come together and play for each other. It took every single one of us. It took a lot of guys stepping in, while other guys were hurt throughout the season. It took the practice squad guys giving us great looks throughout the season. Everybody just band together, played for each other and got it done. Yeah, they got it done. And you guys picked von miller to be the mvp. You were dead on. I said 3. 5. Hey, you got me, congratulations. The mvp of this game. What a performance. Oh, gosh. Vons idol is Demarcus Ware. He said i wouldnt be playing football unless i had a chance to compete for the biggest prize in this game. Owen daniels sounds like a little kid. Take a listen to him. Real emotional in my room last night and all day today. But my wife has nice words for me. Just another game. But it was a big one. It was a big one. I always wanted to be a Football Player and somehow that dream came through, now i get to hold the lombardi, man, its everything that i ever wanted. So hard to put it all into words, but im just so happy. I feel really good. When i hoist that trophy up, i was at that point you know, where i made it. And being a champion feels good. Where would thissteam be had Demarcus Ware not spoken before the championship. Were talking about veteran leaders who really got to the heart of this team and really motivated them to look at how, this is a rare opportunity. To get here is something most players dont get, and they did take advantage of. And peyton got his championship. He said it clearly this week. The defense got us here, and the defense won it for us. They delivered. They delivered on the biggest stage, and i think by doing that, they might be considered the greatest ever. Certainly one of the top 3. Coming up, were going to have more from peyton as he addresses his future. Were also going to hear from john elway about peyton, and johns donkey sound elephant sound theres a big difference between making noise, tapping sound and making sense. elephant sound donkey sound when it comes to social security, we need more than lip service. Our next president elephant noise hey candidates. Enough talk. Give us a plan. We live in a pick and choose world. Choose, choose, choose. But at bedtime. Why settle for this . Number and the event, going on now. Tells you how well you slept and what adjustments you can make. You like the bed soft. Hes more hardcore. So your sleep goes from good to great to wow only at a sleep number store, right now save 50 on the ultimate limited edition bed. Welcome back to the chase for the championship. Were live at levi stadium, where the broncos beat the panthers 2410 tonight with a strong defensive effort on the mvp, cam newton, and the celebration is on. Were taking a look at some of the pictures of the confetti shooting around. The players lifting the lombardi trophy. This is it. This is what you work so hard for. The sweat in the summertime. All the weights. All the weights right heree this is why you llft weights man. They deserve it. This defensive lights out all year long and they stepped tonight. Locker room. `e had brandon marshall, he himself. He reached the top of the mountain. You dont even know how to his words were, im numb. He was excited after the afc championship. When does it hit you that you won the championship . Tomorrow morning is kind of when it sinks in. You wake up, and its like, we did it. All right, you talked to john elway after the game aboutt peytons future. E did, we talked to Peyton Manning. John elway said look. Peyton manning isnt worried about that. Hes celebrating this victorr. This is a defining moment for him. Well get to that. He was very clear that peyton is not going to deal with that at this point. We dont know when were going to hear from peyton. Heres john elway with a little more on ppyton. I think hes just probably soaking it in. I remember when i won it, its always time to kind of just sit there, because theres so much hard work and such a long season, to be able to win the World Championship, and exhale, and say were world champs is a great feeling. Mr. B raised the trophy and said this ones for john. Back in san diego after the first one. Tonight, it came full circle. Pat is not here. We know hes suffering from alzheimers disease, could not make the trip. But john got to go there and say this one is for mr. B. goose bumps. So fitting. One of the best owners in all of sports, and to have that come full circle was awesome. Heres john elway, talking about mr. B tonight. I feel very lucky to be able to say it back to him. This is a tough game. The nfl is a tough place to win, especially in the World Championship. To be able to get back here and win it, and to say this ones for pat is what i want to do. And i owe everything to pat. He gave me the opportunity as a player and as an executive, and what i do now that allows us to be the best at what we can be. What a night. Peyton manning gets his ring. The broncos defense goes down as one of the best ever. Super bowl l. It is hard to believe this actually happened guys, but well talk more about itit o onlnly y tatakekes s a a sesecocondnd fofor r anan e eveveryrydadayy ititemem t to o bebecocomeme d danangegerorousus awawayay f frorom m chchilildrdrenen.

Youre the best decoy that i ever had, man. What a great scene. Akeem taliq and wade phillips. Theres only one thing left to do, and thats put some confetti. I love it. Youve got two rings. Peytons got two rings. We talked about it all year long. All year from day 1 is that peyton had become sort of a game manager, and that defensive going to win this championship, and it came full circle from super bowl xlviii. It all went downhill. Two short years. 3 unbelievable. Into that game that the offense could beat that defense. This defense stopped the best offense in the league. The mvp was sacked ix times, fumbled twice. One was a defensive touchdown, which is key. All hail the broncos defense of 201516. All right guys, thats it for now. A lot more coming up. Weve got a parade on tuesday to worry about. Right now, lets go back to you guys in thh studio. Great work out there, and phone ringing you cant deal with something, but thats how some president ial candidates seem to be dealing with social security. Americans work hard, and pay into it. So our next president to keep it strong
