Who have the Panthers played against in the Super Bowl?

In Super Bowl XXXVIII, the underdog Panthers squared off against the New England Patriots, who had won the Super Bowl two years prior. This Super Bowl was unique because the game was scoreless for nearly 27 minutes, which was a Super Bowl record at the time. No points were scored in the first or third quarters but the final score ended up being 32 to 29 favoring the Patriots.

The Panthers wouldn't reach the big game again until they faced the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl 50. In Carolina's two Super Bowls, they had to face Tom Brady and Peyton Manning but in Super Bowl 50, Manning wasn't the threat, it was the Broncos dominant defense. That defense held 2015 MVP winner Cam Newton and the Panthers electric offense to just 10 points, as Carolina fell to Denver 24 to 10.
