I went in liking both teams but was kinda rooting for Denver, though I wasn't overly interested in the game and thought it might be a Carolina blowout. But enjoyed it much more than I thought I would because it's great in today's offense happy NFL to see 2 defenses dominate like that. But as for Manning, he did get in the way. He couldn't throw the ball effectively and had 2 TOs. He was bad - fewer yards than the Ravens with Dilfer at QB, and his team won despite him. Cam was bad too, but his OTs were consistently abused, and he didn't get much help from his receiving corps. ST also made a difference with Denver having a big punt return and making their FGs, while Gano missed 1 of his 2 attempts. Really impressed with Miller, Ware and Wade Phillips. Aside from the sacks and forced fumbles, the cool thing about Miller is his ability to cover RBs and TEs down the field - dude was amazing.
