The Super Bowl schedule picks up on TV for SB XLVIII from MetLife Stadium on February 2 and the game from New Jersey will be handled by FOX this year, meaning that Joe Buck and Troy Aikman will be calling the game and the matchup has the Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos matched up as the two best teams in the NFL.
The teams come in ranked number one in their conferences overall and the Seahawks have the best overall defense, while the Broncos were by far the best offense in the league. Peyton Manning is looking to win his second Super Bowl and it comes just two years after making his comeback from multiple neck surgeries and adding a championship to his mantle at the end of his career would cap things off for him and put him down as one of the best of all-time. Manning has already won one Super Bowl and now he will get the chance to do it in his brother's stadium, which is the same thing Eli did when the Giants defeated the New England Patriots at Lucas Oil Stadium two years ago.
Manning and the Broncos have already won at MetLife Stadium this season and so have Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks, taking games over the Giants and neither was close. Both of those games were in "cold" weather, but no snow and nothing like the NY weather from the past week. The snow is coming down in the area now, but in two weeks it might not be as bad and the NFL has contingency plans if the weather is too terrible to play in.
Manning comes into the game having set multiple records already this season and he likely will finish with another MVP award, but that he really wants is the Lombardi Trophy and this season the Broncos have a team that can do it. The Seahawks and the Broncos were predicted by many to be here at the beginning of the season and now the two number one seeds in the playoffs are meeting for the championship. Manning passed for over 5,000 yards and had 55 touchdowns to set single season records and now he has one more game to lock up his next championship while making his third Super Bowl appearance.
This matchup puts the top teams in the Super Bowl against each other and Wilson is just the sixth quarterback to make the game in his first or second year. The two teams will battle on FOX starting up at 6 pm ET on February 2 at MetLife Stadium for the Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos.
