Peyton Manning vs. Richard Sherman: Championship Matchup Has Best NFL QB and Top Cornerback Facing Off

Jan 31, 2014 02:18 PM EST

The Super Bowl in 2014 has the two best teams in the league going at it and the matchup on Sunday has the top quarterback and arguably the best cornerback in Peyton Manning and Richard Sherman and many feel that those two players will make a huge impact at MetLife Stadium.

Sherman is considered to be the best corner now and Manning passed for over 50 touchdowns and 5,000 yards and that makes this the best matchup of the game. At the end of the season, Manning ended up with 55 scores and just 10 picks on the season and he completed a high number of his passes and in the game against the Raiders he missed on just three of his 28 passes and did not even need to play in the second half. The Broncos went up 31-0 at that point and finished the game with a 34-14 score to end the season with 606 points, passing the record set by the Patriots of 589 points on the year.

Manning broke the record set by Patriots quarterback Tom Brady after passing his 50-touchdown mark and he added five more after that to get to 55 on the season and in the Broncos victory against the Raiders to end the season, Manning finished the first half with four touchdowns and 266 yards to finish the season with 5,477 passing yards, one more than Drew Brees did two years ago and now he has the two top records for quarterbacks in a single season and he likely will be winning another MVP award along with it. The Broncos were the best offense and now they are facing the best defense.

Who wins the matchup, Manning or Sherman?
