Ted Ginn: ‘I give all my success to Cam Newton’

“No doubt, we’ve been in a bunch of close games that went back and forth, ” he said. All that’s left is to clinch home-field advantage through the playoffs. San Diego still had two seconds left, and an incomplete pass that would have ended the game was blown dead for a false start.
