Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos got the ball first to start the Super Bowl.
The Panthers won the coin toss when Thomas Davis called tails but elected to defer so NFL MVP Cam Newton has to wait to take the field.
The team captains were joined by past Super Bowl MVPs from Bay Area teams and Hall of Famer Joe Montana flipped the special coin.
Broncos draw 1st blood
Peyton Manning came out firing and the Broncos scored first.
Denver took the opening kick and the first four plays were passes for 46 yards. C.J. Anderson then ran for 8 and 12 yards. After Ronnie Hillman lost 3 yards, Manning threw two incomplete passes and the Broncos settled for a 34-yard field goal by Brandon McManus to take a 3-0 lead.
Manning got away with a poor pass that Robert McClain nearly picked near the sideline.
