‘The Blind Side' family watched Michael Oher, Panthers clinch NFC

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Carolina Panthers tackle Michael Oher is not a huge fan of the 2009 movie "The Blind Side," which features his rags-to-riches life with his adoptive family.

But Oher, who is in his first season with the Panthers, was very happy in a photo with the Tuohys at Bank of America Stadium Sunday.

Oher posed with the Tuohys on the field after the Panthers clinched the Super Bowl with a dominant win over the Cardinals. He posted the photo on his Instagram account.

Oher lived in Tennessee with the Tuohys but attended Ole Miss instead of playing for the home-state Volunteers, where Peyton Manning played.

The Panthers will face Manning and the Denver Broncos on Feb. 7 in Super Bowl 50.

Oher will be making his second appearance in the Super Bowl, after winning the big game in 2012 with the Ravens, who drafted him in the first round out of Ole Miss.
