NFL football star Peyton Manning has thanked God following his team’s surprise win in this year’s Super Bowl. “I’m very grateful,” the Denver Broncos quarterback said following his side’s victory over the Carolina Panthers, adding that he was “definitely going to say a prayer and thank the man upstairs for this opportunity”.
The 39-year-old has been outspoken about his faith, noting that it ranks top of his priorities, alongside his family, friends and football.
“My faith doesn’t make me perfect, it makes me forgiven,” he said.
Meanwhile, a Doritos advertisement that aired during Super Bowl 50 has received praise from pro-life campaigners.
The advertisement portrays a lively unborn baby on an ultrasound screen reacting with enthusiasm to the Doritos-munching expectant Dad’s packet of snacks.
Each time the husband moves a chip towards his wife’s belly, the baby on the screen makes a lunge for it. When the annoyed Mom throws a chip across the room the baby, to everyone’s consternation, decides to make an early arrival.
