A Final Title in Orange

After 14 seasons with the Indianapolis Colts, Peyton Manning joined the Denver Broncos in 2012. In 2013 he threw a record 55 touchdown passes, but his 2015 season was hit by a foot injury, and Brock Osweiler started for a time before Manning returned late in the season.

Denver's defense carried the team to Super Bowl 50 in February 2016 against Cam Newton's Carolina Panthers. The Broncos won 24-10, and pass rusher Von Miller was named MVP after repeatedly pressuring Newton.

Under coach Gary Kubiak, Manning won his second Super Bowl and then retired as a champion. He remains one of the most prolific passers and smartest quarterbacks in NFL history.
