Super Bowl 50 Quick Reads

by Vincent Verhei and Aaron Schatz

As usual, we're running team DVOA ratings from the Super Bowl along with individual numbers for Quick Reads.

One of the big stories for this game was Denver's extreme fortune recovering fumbles. Super Bowl 50 had seven different fumbles, and only two of them were recovered by Carolina. With that kind of fumble luck, some readers might have expected DVOA to actually put Carolina slightly ahead for the game. But no, that's not the case. In both DVOA and VOA without opponent adjustments, Denver did end up as the better team for the night.
