How does he look someone like TD in the eye saying something like that, considering this was TD's arm for the game. Almost looks like a football!

leviramsey Posted February 14, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted February 14, 2016 I've long said that "offense sells tickets, defense wins games, and special teams wins championships", and Super Bowl 50 bore that out DVOA assessment (negative is better for defense, positive is better for offense and special teams): Broncos defense / Panthers defense: -58% (tie) Broncos special teams: +21% Panthers special teams: -17% Panthers offense: -30% Broncos offense: -50% Yes, the Broncos offense was almost as bad as the defenses were good. That's right: according to DVOA, as great as Denver's defense was in Super Bowl 50, Carolina's defense was just as great. And that's after opponent adjustments. Before opponent adjustments, our system actually rated Carolina with an even better game than Denver. After all, Carolina gained more yards per play (4.2 vs. 3.5) and converted more often on third down (3-of-15 vs. 1-of-14). No, the real difference here came on special teams. Denver was above-average in all five phases of special teams that we measure, while Carolina had a missed field goal from Graham Gano and was poor on punt coverage and punt returns. Britton Colquitt and Brad Nortman both had excellent nights with similar gross averages: 45.9 yards for Colquitt, 45.0 yards for Nortman. However, that weird 61-yard punt return from Jordan Norwood was a huge change in field position, while Ted Ginn's three returns went for a combined 2 yards. Also, Nortman's gross average wasn't quite as valuable as Colquitt's because Nortman's longest punt, 61 yards, ended up netting only 41 because of a touchback.
