It has been an emotional night - for us, for the Denver Broncos, for the Carolina Panthers and for Coldplay's roadies. It was a tense defensive battle in the end and Cam Newton couldn't quite make it happen for Carolina. I'm running out of caffeine fast now so it's time to say goodbye until next season. Who will win Super Bowl 51?
Poor Cam
Cam Newton didn't have a game to remember... Maybe next time.

Ceremony
The NFL Lombardi trophy is now on the way to the Denver Broncos. It's all getting very exciting. It looks so shiny.

Carolina Panthers 10-24 Denver Broncos
Denver run down the clock and Carolina can do nothing with no timeouts. Josh Norman of the Carolina Panthers congratulates Manning as he leaves the field - probably for the last time as an NFL player. Not long left now.
Two minutes left
Anderson starts with a run for Denver which makes no gain. Could this be the last two minutes that we see Peyton Manning on an American football field? He's going to go out in style here.
Post update
Mike Carlson
NFL analyst
"Carolina scored 580 points in the season and the play-offs! They've scored 10 tonight."

Ryan Heatly: Did not see this coming, but Newton will be back. Well done Broncos.
Sack
Carolina Panthers 10-24 Denver Broncos
DeMarcus Ware makes the seventh sack by the Broncos defence today on Cam Newton. He's going to hurt in the morning! It is followed up by another great play and the Panthers are back on fourth down. Game over, surely?

It's looking more likely that the AFC champions are going to seal the deal here as wide receiver Bennie Fowler catches an easy one from the legendary Peyton Manning. The Manning family rejoice in their box!
Touchdown

CJ Anderson drives forward and spins to score what could be a crucial touchdown. The play survives a review. Denver set to go for a two-point conversion now.

Carolina Panthers 10-16 Denver Broncos
Denver run down a big chunk of the clock after three pretty weak running plays that have little effect. Another drive, another three-and-out. Under five minutes left - surely Carolina will get a first down?
Post update
Carolina Panthers 10-16 Denver Broncos
No progress by Carolina on a third down and Denver's defence is on top yet again! This is a real defence fest of a Super Bowl! Norwood gets the ball back for Denver after the fourth-down punt and Manning returns to the field.
