The Super Bowl channel this season is on Fox for what could be one of the best NFL games ever and coverage for the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks game on Sunday starts up at 6:25 pm ET and Joe Buck will be on the broadcast with Troy Aikman live from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
The Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos come into the championship game as the number one seeds from the NFC and the AFC and they are ranked first in defense and offense respectively this season. Manning led the Broncos to numerous records and the best red zone offense in the league, while the Seahawks come into the game as the top ranked defense and best red zone unit in the league as well. Peyton Manning will be looking to win his second career Super Bowl and the Seahawks come into the game with the top ranked defense in the league, with cornerback Richard Sherman leading the way as the best cornerback in the league and he has never faced Manning in the regular season.
The Seahawks had the number one ranked second in the NFL with just 172 passing yards allowed per game and the rushing defense was nearly as good, allowing just 101 yards per game and now they will have to stop and offense that set records for the most points, passing yards and passing touchdowns in a season. Manning won his fifth MVP award the night before the Super Bowl after passing for 55 touchdowns and 5,400 yards and he matches up against second year QB Russell Wilson after he passed for 26 touchdowns for the second straight year and both players have 1,000 yard rushers in Knowshon Moreno and Marshawn Lynch.
The last time the best offense and defensive units played in the Super Bowl was back in 1990 and that saw the Giants win over the Bills and if that matchup holds, the Seahawks will win on Sunday and fittingly it will be in the stadium that the G-Men currently play in at MetLife Stadium. Both the Seahawks and the Broncos won over the New York Giants this season at the stadium and now they are both looking to add another victory and this one has slightly more importance than the first one of the year. Manning and Russell Wilson have a number of connections, including that Wilson once attended the Manning Passing Academy, Wilson met Manning while on a pre draft visit and the gap of ag between the two at over 12 years is the most in Super Bowl history.
The Super Bowl starts up on Fox and in the New York and New Jersey area that will be on Channel 5 in NYC and the game is love for the Seahawks and Broncos starting up at 6:30 pm ET.
