Santa Clara, Calif. — Broncos linebacker Von Miller’s first solo sack resulted in a touchdown for Denver. His second helped seal the Broncos’ victory in Super Bowl 50.
“We just wanted to be the ‘Orange Rush,’ Miller said, “and it worked for us today.”
In a 24-10 win at Levi’s Stadium, the Broncos tied a Super Bowl record with seven sacks against Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, whose performance failed to measure up to his stellar season that resulted in an NFL MVP award.
With a smothering defensive performance led by Miller’s 2.5 sacks and two forced fumbles, Denver won its third title.
