SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP)- If this was Peyton Manning’s final game, he’s going out on top. The 39-year-old Broncos quarterback said immediately after winning Super Bowl 50 that he was taking some advice from Tony Dungy, his former coach when he played in Indianapolis: “Don’t make any emotional decisions.” Manning did say he had an emotional Saturday night with his teammates and coaches, perhaps realizing this Super Bowl would be his final game. “This has been a tough, resilient, unselfish group of guys,” Manning said afterward. Immediately afterward, Manning demurred on the question of his retirement. But he did say he was “very, very grateful” for his career and said he would take “some time to reflect” before making any retirement announcement. But Manning said of a year that saw him go from starter to injured backup to Super Bowl champion: “It’s been a unique season.”
