Interesting matchup. I'm finally convinced Carolina's a really good team. Not sure anyone had the Broncos getting there at the beginning of the year, but they're proving the old adage that defense wins championships. Pretty remarkable what they have done, despite an aging QB who almost lost his job to his backup.

I'm pulling for the Broncos. Manning's been a class act (at least in the public eye), and he deserves another ring. Cam will likely get a couple more shots before he's done.
