In Super Bowl 50, an impressive defensive play by a Pro Bowl linebacker helped the Broncos to an upset win and their first NFL title this century. On February 7, 2016, with the Broncos beating the Panthers 3-0 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif, Carolina had a 3rd and 10 from their own 15 with 6:35 left in the first quarter. From the shotgun, QB Cam Newton went back to pass and was blindsided at the 5 by Broncos’ linebacker Von Miller, who had motored around a blocker to Newton’s right. Miller stripped the ball loose; it bounced into the end zone and was pounced on by Malik Jackson, a Denver defensive tackle, for a touchdown. The Broncos, who had entered the game as solid underdogs, prevailed 24-10 as Miller – who finished with 2.5 sacks and two forced fumbles – won the Super Bowl MVP.
