Peyton Manning has been hit less than any other passer in the NFL this season, which has been a result of his quick passes and a strong offensive line for the Denver Broncos.

Pete Carroll said Thursday that the Seattle Seahawks "need to move" Manning early, but coordinator Dan Quinn pointed less to the pass rush and more to Seattle's potent man-to-man and press coverage as the best way to keep receivers out of open spaces.

Said Quinn: "If we can hold that extra click, that's what we know is important to us."

Matt Williams and Mike Sando ranked all 106 players on the rosters of the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos entering the Super Bowl.

Peyton Manning was a clear choice for the top overall slot with Richard Sherman listed second.

The Seahawks have eight out of the top-10 players, according to the list.

Earl Thomas, Marshawn Lynch, Demaryius Thomas, Percy Harvin, Michael Bennett, Russell Wilson, Brandon Mebane and Kam Chancellor round out the top-10.

Demaryius Thomas hopes to be defended by Richard Sherman in the Super Bowl.

The Seattle Seahawks don't typically move their corners around to match up with a specific receiver.

Peyton Manning also generally picks on the most advantageous matchup on the field, so there will likely be better options than Thomas against Sherman.

Peyton Manning is the only participant of Super Bowl XLVIII that has previously won a ring.

Three other Denver Broncos have been to the game without winning, while the Seattle Seahawks don't have a player on their roster that has made it to the Super Bowl.

Wes Welker lost the game twice while with the New England Patriots.

The Seattle Seahawks will wear white jerseys with blue pants in Super Bowl XLVIII against the Denver Broncos.

The Seahawks wore the combination in Week 15 when beating the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium.

The Seahawks are 2-1 all-time when wearing the kit.

The Seahawks wore all-blue in Super Bowl XL.

Adam Gase has withdrawn his name from consideration for the Cleveland Browns' head coaching job.

Gase is offensive coordinator of the Denver Broncos.

The Browns are scheduling a second interview with Mike Pettine and are also considering other candidates such as Dan Quinn.

The Browns are searching for a replacement for Rob Chudzinski and are the only team that has yet to hire a head coach.

The Denver Broncos have chosen to wear orange jerseys for the Super Bowl.

The Broncos have an 0-3 record in the Super Bowl while wearing orange, losing to the Cowboys (Super Bowl XII), Redskins (XXII) and 49ers (XXIV).

The Broncos wore blue against the Packers in Super Bowl XXXII and white against the Falcons in Super Bowl XXXIII.

Denver switched to orange as their home jerseys before the 2012 season.

The NFL hosts its first cold city Super Bowl this year in New Jersey.

“Super Bowl week will be very cold,” said Rutgers' climatologist David Robinson. “We’re set up for a wintry couple of weeks. It’s going to be cold and occasionally stormy. It’s too early to say whether we’re going to be in a tranquil pattern or unsettled pattern on the day of the game. By this time next week, we should know more about whether there’s the potential for an impactful storm”

New Jersey had a temperature of 73 degrees on Dec. 21, the first day of winter, but it fell by 50 degrees on Christmas Day.

Robinson said that if southern moisture coalesces with Arctic air, snow could fall at the Super Bowl.

“The introduction of moisture from the south increases the odds of a meaningful storm,” said Robinson. “You can’t really lock in anything yet in terms of storms but our long range models suggest that we’re going to be on the cold side of normal into the first couple of weeks of February.”

The Denver Broncos are favored by 1-to-2.5 points at the majority of Nevada sportsbooks over the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLVIII.

The Seahawks defeated the San Francisco 49ers 23-17, while the Broncos beat the New England Patriots by a final score of 26-16.

The Seahawks were four point underdogs against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XL.

The NFL's four Divisional Round playoff games averaged 34.3 million viewers.

Sunday's coverage on CBS of the Denver Broncos' win over the San Diego Chargers pulled 41.2 million, followed by the San Francisco 49ers' victory over the Carolina Panthers at 33.3 million viewers.

On Saturday, the New England Patriots defeat of the Indianapolis Colts drew 31.7 million viewers and the Seattle Seahawks' win over the New Orleans Saints drew 31.1 million.

The numbers are down slightly from the Wild Card weekend in which 35 million viewers was the average. The Divisional Round games were not as close, which is the likely cause for the drop in ratings.
