Shutting Down Panthers TE Greg Olsen Key for Broncos Pass D in Super Bowl 50

After watching the Carolina Panthers hang an NFC Championship Game-record 49 points on the Arizona Cardinals, there's little question that the Denver Broncos' top-ranked defense faces their stiffest test of the season in Super Bowl 50.

And while finding a way to contain Panthers quarterback (and presumptive 2015 NFL MVP) Cam Newton no doubt tops Denver defensive coordinator Wade Phillips' to-do list over the next 10 days or so, that will only get the Broncos halfway home where shutting down the Panthers' aerial attack is concerned.

For Denver to succeed in that regard, they also have to find a way to put the clamps on tight end Greg Olsen.
