Super Bowl 50 is set to kickoff on Sunday at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, as the NFC champion Carolina Panthers and the AFC champion Denver Broncos battle it out for this year’s Vince Lombardi Trophy.
The Panthers finished the regular season with a 15–1 record and after defeating the Arizona Cardinals 49–15 in the NFC Championship Game they advance to their second Super Bowl appearance in franchise history.
The Broncos finished the regular season with a 12–4 record and defeated the New England Patriots 20–18 in the AFC Championship Game. They now join the Patriots, Dallas Cowboys, and Pittsburgh Steelers as the only teams that have made eight appearances in the Super Bowl.
