The five-time Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos will face off against the Carolina Panthers this Sunday, in the most watched sporting event in the United States. The event will pit veteran Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning against young star Panthers QB Cam Newton at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. The Panthers have the edge going in, according football experts, but the game is only one part of the Super Bowl experience.
