Richard Sherman "excited" for Peyton Manning matchup

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman has insisted that he is looking forward to coming up against the Denver Broncos' record-breaking offence this Sunday.

The Broncos broke the single-season record for points scored this year, led by veteran quarterback Peyton Manning, who set a number of individual NFL records including most passing yards and most touchdowns in a single campaign.

However, the Seahawks boast the best defence in the league this season and Sherman is eagerly anticipating the clash between the best in the business.

"I think we're really excited for the match-up with Peyton and their explosive offense," Sherman told reporters.

"Because we're competitive, and want to face the best, and they're the best out there right now. So it's everything we've dreamed of."

Sunday's Super Bowl will take place at the MetLife Stadium and is expected to be the coldest Super Bowl in history.
