NFL 2016 Super Bowl 50 Live: Carolina Panthers vs Denver Broncos

Well that's it for us from the blog - thanks for joining us. There'll be plenty of fall-out from the game but in the end Denver's defence was too strong and that's what won them the game. Congratulations to Carolina on a great year. They will learn from this and come back bigger and better next year.

But it's Peyton's year. Is it his last rodeo? What a ride if it was.

What a Super Bowl 50 it was. It started with best Star Spangled Banner ever from Lady Gaga and finished with Denver dominating with their defence.

Here is a match report from the game.

See you all in August for the pre-season.

194 yards are the fewest ever by a team in a Super Bowl win.

SMH's NFL expert Paul Zalunardo: Tip of the hat to the Broncos. A great defence and a serviceable offence can win the Super Bowl. Von Miller, DeMarcus Ware and co. have earned this..

Peyton Manning: "It's very special...I'm very grateful for all the support.

On if it will be his last game: I'll take some time to reflect. I want to kiss my wife and kids. I'm going to drink a lot of Budweiser first!"
