We’ve all missed something on the play that clinched Super Bowl 50 for Denver. I know I never saw it until about the fifth or sixth time I watched the fourth-quarter strip sack of Cam Newton by Von Miller. We’ve been so laser-focused on Newton backing away from the free ball on the ground at the Carolina 17 with 4:10 to play and the Panthers down six that we failed to see something Miller did that, in retrospect, was a gigantic play.
Miller rightly earned the MVP of Super Bowl 50 for the two strip sacks that led to both of Denver’s touchdowns.
