Super Bowl 50 / by SARA TANNER

Peyton Manning. Lots of time spent covering that guy through the years. From a teenager through a Hall of Fame career, it's been a yearly visit.

At the conclusion of Super Bowl 50, I followed him into the scrum.

He had his young son in his arms, and after the trophy presentation he came looking for a couple of women. His mother, and his wife.

He reached for them, they reached for him. His mother caressed his cheek, he reached over the horde to touch his wife's hand. A lovely connection in the middle of a media and fan swarm.

Earlier those moments were less hectic to capture.  But then, we were all a lot younger.
