Albom: Denver's defense saves Manning

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – In the closing minutes, Von Miller, who would soon become the Most Valuable Player of the Super Bowl, came charging toward the Most Valuable Player of the league, Cam Newton, and grabbed his arm with his left hand as Newton tried to pass. The ball flew loose, the Broncos recovered, the 2016 championship was all but decided, and the only notable dancing of the night was being done by Denver’s defense.

Von Doom. An orange army just won the 50th Super Bowl. It swallowed Newton, the superstar Carolina quarterback, along with his running backs, receivers, linemen and pretty much anything else in sight.
