– Ryan Fitzpatrick connected with Eric Decker on a six-yard scoring pass in overtime as the Jets took advantage of a unusual Patriots decision in a 26-20 win over the AFC East champs.

Panthers players were forced to defend themselves against allegations of pregame threats and homophobic slurs directed toward Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. that continued to receive major media attention well into the week.

He also said the Falcons made more plays in the game while the Panthers “played lethargic”.

For much of the game, it looked like the Falcons were squandering a chance to upend an unbeaten team. The 16-play, 80-yard drive lasted more than 9 minutes.

The Carolina Panthers’ hopes of completing a ideal season came to an end when they were defeated 20-13 at the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.

With the loss, the 1972 Miami Dolphins and 2007 New England Patriots remain the only teams to have completed a ideal regular season.

Said Newton: “We got to play better”. He threw one touchdown pass and no interceptions after being picked off 15 times through the first 14 games, the second-highest single-season total of his eight-year National Football League career.

MVP candidate Cam Newton finished with 142 yards passing on 17-of-30 and no TDs while rushing for 46 yards and a touchdown. The Panthers had scored at least 24 points in 13 consecutive games.

The Panthers are now 14-1.

The Carolina Panthers had the ball with a chance to win and remain undefeated, but their dynamic quarterback, Cam Newton, in a dream season, saw his team’s chances evaporate when he was stripped of the ball with just over a minute remaining. “They’re trying to tell me, ‘You’re going to be at home while we’re in the playoffs.’ I don’t care”.

Julio Jones’ 70-yard touchdown in the third quarter served as the game-winner, though the Panthers had opportunities. With Arizona’s 38-8 waxing of the Packers, the NFC’s top playoff seed remains up for grabs heading into Week 17.

Jones had nine catches for 178 yards, taking his matchup with Carolina cornerback Josh Norman.

Flushed from the pocket on third-and-13, Ryan rolled to his left, letting one fly one foot from the line of scrimmage in the general direction of Jones, who was being covered by a safety and linebacker.

Kawann Short: The Pro Bowl-bound defensive tackle followed up his two-sack day against Atlanta in Week 14 with another two-sack performance on Sunday.

“We deserved this with how we played offensively, defensively and special teams – and I’m talking with a mirror in front of my face”, Newton said. “That’s really all there is”. I’m not even a trash talker, but when someone disrespects you and you get payback and then they can’t handle it, that’s glorious.

Carolina trailed 14-10 in the fourth quarter when Ryan mishandled a shotgun snap from the Panthers 37.

After that, Carolina’s only points came on two second-half field goals from Graham Gano. The Falcons faced a three-and-out but Tillman was flagged for unnecessary roughness when he got tangled up with Roddy White after the play.

– Brandon Weeden became the first quarterback in Texans history to throw for two scores and run for another in a 34-6 rout of Tennessee.

“We got our ass kicked today, and to a large degree we deserved it”, Newton said later. Carolina has now lost for the first time in 18 regular-season games, dating back to last season.

Running back Fozzy Whittaker left the game in the fourth quarter with a right ankle injury.
