SANTA CLARA–The New England Patriots were shocked when they failed to make it to Super Bowl 50 with a surprising two point loss on Sunday 20-18 in the AFC Playoffs. Peyton Manning was the man in control after missing four games due to an injury performed masterfully throwing 17 completions, 171 yards, and two touchdowns.

In the NFC Championship Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton made throwing a football look the Panthers were throwing against a sandlot team as the Arizona Cardinals had their heads handed to them last Sunday in a laugher 49-15. Newton threw for 19 completions, a whopping 235 yards, one touchdown, he was picked off four times and sacked once but it wasn’t enough for Arizona as Newton and the Panthers found their way to the promiseland five times that left the Cardinals simply out in the cold.
