Twitter goes mad for the Panthers and the Broncos
Published:
Destination San Francisco! The Carolina Panthers and the Denver Broncos are heading to Super Bowl 50 following a night of epic drama across the pond.
The Cam Newton-inspired Panthers routed the Arizona Cardinals 49-15 to clinch the NFC Championship and the defending champions were sent packing with Peyton Manning’s Broncos beating the New England Patriots 20-18 to secure the AFC title.
And, as you’d expect, Twitter got a little bit excited about the action that unfolded and the prospect of a Newton v Manning showdown.
Here are a few of the highlights…

Meanwhile, Cam Newton was the talk of the Twittersphere with veteran broadcaster Larry King quick to offer his ‘two cents’.
