Who wins in a race: A Bronco or a Panther?

In nature, a Bronco can typically sprint five mph faster than a Panther can. Panthers are known for maintaining fast sprint speeds for short distances, while Broncos can hold a steady speed. In the NFL however, that trend is reversed.

Cam Newton and his Carolina Panthers have been virtually unstoppable this year. No team, except for the Falcons, have figured out how to stop this electrifying offense. Time and time again they find a way to score, with weapons most people did not for-see making such a big impact. Ted Ginn is having a career year, and the shipping of DeAngelo Williams to Pittsburgh solved the forever question of "How good is Jonathan Stewart?" This years Panthers team has been able to continually pounce on their prey with 31 PPG in the regular season, and 40 PPG in the post season, both leading the league. Cam Newton has eliminated his mistakes, throwing only 10 INT's, and the Defense has shocked the world with how well they have come together. This team has been sprinting continuously and don't seem to stop.

The Broncos have stumbled throughout this season but have pulled it all together in the end. Peyton Manning was BENCHED this year, something no one saw coming. We saw Brock Osweiller beat Tom Brady, and Peyton has led an incredible post season surge. Von Miller has the defense in prime condition, and is thought of as the best defense in the league currently.

Super Bowl 50 will not look like Super Bowl 48, where the Seahawks made the Broncos look like a high school team. Denver's defense is stronger than two years ago, with the addition of Demarcus Ware and Aqib Talib to name a few. Everyone knows the Panthers will score. When Cam Newton runs your offense, it's a proven fact. It's too hard to contain all their weapons, and he will beat you. Can the Broncos offense step up to the plate and keep up in a race with Cam Newton? Josh Norman will key on either Emmanuel Sanders or Demariyus Thomas, so what Peyton can do with the rest of his weapons will determine the game. The front 7 of the Panthers can and will shut down CJ Anderson and the Bronco rushing attack, so this game will be an aerial one.

The Panthers should win this game. No defense has stopped them, and the only reason they lost to the Falcons is Julio Jones. Enough said. Despite what nature says, these Panthers will outrun these Broncos. I just don't see enough fire power behind the Broncos offense to keep up in a shot for shot offensive battle that this will be.
