Panthers must challenge the results of the Super Bowl

They had almost twice as many first downs, controlled the ball longer, and out-gained the Broncos by 315-194 (beating them in both running and passing measures)!

This isn't the first time that the superior-performing team has "lost" a playoff game in the NFL due to the antiquated "scoring" measure. When will it change?

It's about people who don't like the rules and insist on judging victory by their own rules, claiming that we would have won if the rules had been different.
