And then there were two.
Super Bowl XLVIII.
The top seeds in each Conference advanced to the Super Bowl for the first time since 2006. After defeating the New England Patriots 26-16 behind Peyton Manning's 400 passing yards and a dominating defensive performance, the Denver Broncos advanced to the Super Bowl for the first time in 15 years. After a 23-17 victory by the Seattle Seahawks over the San Francisco 49ers sealed by a game-ending, end zone interception by Malcolm Smith, the Broncos know who they will play in the 2014 Super Bowl: the Seattle Seahawks.
Super Bowl 2014
It is Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning's 3rd Super Bowl appearance, and by many accounts, his legacy as The Best Quarterback of All Time is on the line. Win, and he cements his place in the record books. Lose, and he will be considered The Best Regular Season Quarterback of All Time - a shoddy consolation prize.
