Panthers stay undefeated with win over Redskins

“To see the kids, to see the parents come out and to share a plate, share a moment, share a conversation with them is always beneficial to both parties”, Newton said, “not only for them, but for me as well”.

After the interception was called back, Newton and the Panthers’ offense finished an eight-play, 92-yard drive to take a 21-14 lead of their own.

The Panthers are the 16th team in the Super Bowl era to start 10-0.

As Carolina keeps winning and looks more and more like a legitimate Super Bowl contender, Newton is closing in on an impressive individual milestone and National Football League record. Jonathan Stewart (662 yards, four touchdowns) and Newton (366 yards, six TDs) continue to power the league’s No. 3 rushing offense, and the passing game has been solid despite the lack of an elite receiver.

“They don’t give out trophies for the regular season”, Olsen said. Jones’s fumble took place midway through the second quarter and led to a touchdown by Carolina six plays and 24 yards later.

The Panthers (10-0) scored 27 points off five Washington turnovers, three of those by Cousins.

“Between the fumbles and the picks, we had a couple short fields”.

“You’ve got to protect the ball, and we haven’t done a very good job in the games we’ve lost”, said Roberts, a Columbia native who played at Spring Valley High School and later at The Citadel. Brady is operating at a high level that we are use to seeing, and Newton has his team undefeated when most predicted they would be a sub-500 team.

“I don’t want us to be perceived as a team looking for excuses to why we lost”, Gruden said Monday. Newton found Funchess for his franchise-tying fifth TD pass of the game to give Carolina a 38-14 lead. Cam Newton did his best Santa Claus impersonation this Sunday versus the Redskins gifting each of those 5 touchdown passes [like always] to a lucky fan. They’ve lost 18 of their last 19 road games and most haven’t been pretty. Winston tied a rookie record with five touchdown passes and Martin ran for 235 yards for Tampa Bay.

Denver’s Brock Osweiler threw for two touchdowns filling in for the injured Peyton Manning in the Broncos’ 17-15 win over the Chicago Bears – on his 25th birthday.

This year, Newton’s completion percentage is down from last season, and while his touchdown percentage and adjusted yards per attempt are up, his interception percentage and sack percentage are also up. Defensively, Carolina is allowing 19.1 points and 322.8 yards per game.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Tony Romo pulled off his latest comeback victory, returning from a collarbone injury to throw for two scores as the Cowboys won for the first time since he was hurt in Week 2.

Against the Panthers, it was five turnovers and nine penalties that contributed to the Redskins giving up 30 unanswered points and losing in such convincing fashion.

Kansas City defensive tackle Dontari Poe, who weighs 346 pounds, leapt over the pile for a 1-yard touchdown on fourth down in the Chiefs’ 33-3 win at San Diego.

Colts 24, Falcons 21 – Adam Vinatieri kicked a 43-yard field goal with 52 seconds left, and Indianapolis (5-5) overcame a pair of two-touchdown deficits to beat slumping Atlanta (6-4) behind backup quarterback Matt Hasselbeck.
