Peyton Leads Broncos To Super Bowl Victory In What May Be His Final Rodeo
The Denver Broncos, with Peyton Manning at the helm, defeated the Carolina Panthers by a score of 24-10 in Sunday’s Super Bowl game at Levi’s Stadium. In his 18th season, Manning was able to take home his second Super Bowl trophy. This was certainly a great moment to see for fans who have watched him dominate the field for so many years.
Following the game, Peyton Manning said that he is “very much at peace” as he contemplates retirement from the NFL.
In an interview today, Manning stated: “I’m very much at peace right now and I think, however it works out, it’ll work out the way it’s supposed to. I’m very grateful for this opportunity and to be playing with a group of special guys.”
The veteran quarterback had celebrated the victory with his team all night. Before he makes a final decision on his future he plans to take some time away from the game to think and reflect.
“I got some good advice from my old coach Tony Dungy. He told me just to take some time after this game and not make an emotional decision,” Manning said, referring to his former Indianapolis Colts coach. “There’s been a lot of emotion these past two weeks and certainly in the Super Bowl, so to take some time and to get away and kind of reflect on what’s happened this season and maybe a few other things.”
This was an interesting season for Manning. He struggled to begin the season, looking like a shell of him old self. But when the season is on the line, it is the players like Peyton Manning who shine brightest. He is the ultimate leader and the type of person that anyone would want to have in their locker room.
After this emotional and trying season, Manning certainly deserves some time to relax and enjoy the moment. “I’ve been fortunate to be on a Super Bowl team before and I remember how special that was, almost 10 years ago, and it was just as special tonight,” Manning stated said. “It’s even better when you can celebrate with your family and your friends and I’ve been doing that tonight.”
There is no question that with a Super Bowl win would be an incredible way for one of the greatest football players of all time to would be an incredible way to leave the game. If he decides to hang up his cleats this offseason, it will certainly be sad to see.
