CCHS Follows the Superbowl

                Opposing Forces Meet             

                                     A Record Setting Offense Meets a Great Defense

On Sunday, February 2nd, Super Bowl XLVIII will take place in MetLife Stadium (home of the New York Giants and New York Jets). The number one team in the National Football Conference(NFC) will play the number one team in the American Football Conference(AFC). Both of these teams won their conference in the conference championship game(between the last two remaining teams from each conference) and were also the teams that had the best record in their conferences going into the playoffs.

The Seattle Seahawks were the best team in the NFC and the Denver Broncos were the best teams in the AFC. The Broncos had a historically good offense that set records. The Seahawks defense was very good and the team’s strength. The Broncos have a defense that is less skilled, but Seattle has an offense that is less skilled. The two teams are opposites in this way and which should make the game interesting.

The Broncos star offensive player is Peyton Manning, commonly considered to be one of the best quarterbacks ever. The Seattle Seahawks have a great running back named Marshawn Lynch. The Broncos defense has a player who could go into the hall of fame on defense named Champ Bailey, a cornerback. The Seattle defense has a younger cornerback who is now widely considered to be among the greatest playing right now, a cornerback named Richard Sherman.

This will be a game against two great teams to see who will win the Vince Lombardi Trophy and be considered the best team in the NFL.
