CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Superman is bringing his cape and his pen to Super Bowl 50. He's leaving behind his camera.
"Yeah, we are going to the Super Bowl. We are not going just to take pictures," Cam Newton said Sunday after leading the Carolina Panthers into the big game with a 49-15 rout of Arizona for the NFC championship. "We are trying to finish this thing off."
That would be against Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos in two weeks.
"Playing the sheriff," Newton said of Manning. "We're going to live in the moment right now. We're going to be excited."
Newton threw for two touchdowns and ran for two others, and Carolina's big-play defense stifled Arizona's top-ranked offense. The 49 points were the most for an NFC title game winner.
The NFL's new top man at quarterback — Newton is an All-Pro this season — goes against five-time MVP Manning. Carolina is favored by four points.
"We've been dreaming about this moment since Day 1," Newton said. "Our pen has a lot more ink left."
