Panthers Rout Cardinals, 49-15 for NFC
The Broncos were impressive in Sunday’s game against the defending champions, making Tom Brady look pedestrian on their way to a second Super Bowl appearance in three years.
Well, the Carolina Panther’s knockdown defense and offensive prowess remained true as they punched their ticket to Super Bowl 50 with a triumphant blowout win over the Arizona Cardinals, 49-15.
Davis attended Randolph-Clay High in Cuthbert, Ga.
The Panthers secondary had questions heading into Sunday’s NFC championship game against the Cardinals.
Apart from Newton’s performance, the Panthers, who were up 17-0 by the end of the first quarter, also profited from seven Arizona turnovers.
After signing a three-year deal with the Cardinals in the spring of 2014, Ginn was released after just one season in the desert.
In addition to his TD run, Ginn had two receptions for 52 yards, including a 39-yarder. “If it wasn’t for Panther Nation, (Ron Rivera), (Dave Gettleman), (Jerry Richardson), and even (Cam Newton) being able to stand on the table and say we want this guy”. “There was pressure all day”. Palmer has been beat up here and there, but for the most part, the Cardinals accomplished their goal and Palmer rewarded them with a playoff berth.
Denver won the AFC Championship game by hanging on late to defeat the New England Patriots, winning 20-18. Newton had the dagger touchdown from 12 yards out. Palmer finished the game with 235 passing yards and only completed 23 of his 40 pass attempts. Early on in Manning’s career and Brady’s career there was no debate, Brady was surrounded by much more talent and overall, Brady has tended to play for more talented teams overall than Manning, so it is tough to just pin the record on the quarterbacks, according to Christian Science Monitor.
Turns out, it was just the start of a horrific night, with Arizona giving up more points and yards (476) than it had all season.
The Panthers converted five plays later on Newton’s 1-yard touchdown leap, pushing the lead to 24-7. “We got the No. 1 defense”.
The Cardinals drove 79 yards on 10 plays and Johnson went up the middle for the score.
“If it comes down to a pain tolerance and playing through it, I’ll be there”.
Davis left the game in the second quarter with six tackles – including two for a loss.
“I will do whatever it takes (to play)”, he said of the Super Bowl.
