Behind a stout defensive performance, the Broncos bested the Panthers 24-10 in a historic victory for quarterback Peyton Manning, who became the first to reach 200 wins in the potentially career-capping championship win.
Defensive powerhouse Von Miller, who missed his chance at a Super Bowl start two years ago with Denver due to a season-ending injury, received the game's MVP award for his intense pressure on Carolina quarterback Cam Newton wire to wire.
