This year's Super Bowl may be one of the more difficult to handicap in recent memories. Whether Peyton Manning can outmaneuver the smothering Seattle defense remains to be seen. One thing is certain: the matchup should provide one of the more entertaining big games in recent memory.
Of course, there are lessons that we should take away, as well. These are two teams that have earned their place in history. Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning was all but written off a couple years ago after neck surgery. His resilience has stunned even his most ardent supporters. This future hall of famer will undoubtedly go down in history as one of the best, if not the best, quarterbacks in history. 
On the other side of the line is the smothering Seahawks defense. While they may not be the 1976 Steelers or 1985 Bears, they are darn good! Just look at the statistics: fewest yards allowed, fewest yards per game, fewest points allowed, and the most interceptions. Given the claims industry's penchant for benchmarking to specific metrics, there are a lot of lessons that can be learned about measuring the right things and holding people accountable. This is the surest recipe for optimal results.
