Super Bowl Quarter Score 2016: Panthers vs. Broncos 4th-Quarter Update and Recap

The Denver Broncos defense, mainly Von Miller, slammed the door shut on the Carolina Panthers when it mattered most.

Miller's second sack and forced fumble on Carolina signal-caller Cam Newton late in the fourth quarter led to a C.J. Anderson touchdown and the Broncos' third Super Bowl title in franchise history with a 24-10 win Sunday in Super Bowl 50.

The Broncos tweeted this after the triumphant victory:  

Trailing 16-10 and with the football, Newton was strip-sacked by Miller for the second time. Broncos safety T.J. Ward recovered the fumble, and the Broncos capitalized four plays later. Anderson scored from a yard out followed by a Peyton Manning pass to Bennie Fowler for the two-point conversion.

That was the icing on the cake for the Broncos, who won their first Super Bowl title since 1998, with Miller being named the game's Most Valuable Player.

In a game that featured the top two picks from the 2011 NFL draft, it was the second pick Miller who dictated the dominance of Denver's defense. CBS Sports' Will Brinson noted that for those who bet on Miller winning the MVP, they're in a good position:

Dan Wolken from USA Today also shared his thoughts on the star pass-rusher:

Lost in the shuffle in all of this is the fact Miller will be a free agent this upcoming offseason. It would be a shock if the Broncos don't re-sign him, but ESPN's Field Yates has already determined Miller's price tag:

Dallas Cowboys star Dez Bryant also commented on Miller's play:

Miller's play was the driving force behind Denver's ability to lock down league MVP Cam Newton, as he only threw for 265 yards and an interception. Manning, likely playing in the final game of his NFL career, threw for 141 yards and was picked off one time.

Leading up to the Super Bowl, much of the talk was on how the Broncos defense would stop Newton and if the Denver offense could do enough to win the game. In the end, Denver's defense won this game from start to finish. 

Manning gets a second ring and will more than likely ride off into the sunset on top.
