The 2016 NFL Super Bowl will be the 50th Super Bowl in NFL history. The National Football Conference champion Carolina Panthers will play the American Football Conference champion Denver Broncos to decide the league champion for the season. The Carolina Panthers are coming off of a convincing win over the Arizona Cardinals 49-15. The Denver Broncos beat the New England Patriots 20-18. The Panthers are led by front runner for the MVP quarterback Cam Newton, and the Broncos are led by future hall of famer Peyton Manning. This should be an exciting game, as the game features the top scoring offense in the league (Panthers), and the top ranked defense in the league (Broncos). Super Bowl 50 is expected to be the most watched TV program is history. The Super Bowl commercials are always a highlight of the game, and seem to always have people talking about them a few days after. The band Coldplay will be performing at halftime, along with Beyoncé joining them as well. The game is Sunday February 7, and it should be an exciting program from beginning to end.
