A few Redskins players mad at refs’ calls, blame team nickname

Six of those teams won the Super Bowl. They gave Newton plenty of time in the pocket to survey the field and did not get Stewart to the down after his first option hole had closed up.

“It makes for a very short turnaround, and if we do anything, we have to make sure we are getting our rest, hydrating, eating properly and staying off our feet”, Rivera said after Carolina’s 44-16 victory over Washington. They will get calls wrong. They pretty much beat us in all phases. But, you know, at the same time, we play football and work our butt off too. Newton tied Steve Beurlein’s franchise record for touchdowns in a game and threw four touchdown passes in the first half alone. The Panthers seemed to get fired up after Jonathan Stewart was cheap shot in the knee on a touchdown run. After second-year receiver Kelvin Benjamin tore his ACL in training camp, Newton has relied upon tight end Greg Olsen first and foremost while making valuable receivers out of players like Ted Ginn Jr., Devin Funchess, and Jerricho Cotchery.

“In order to be a good team, you’ve got to win games on the road”, Redskins safety Dashon Goldson said.

Mario Addison had 1.5 sacks, Kyle Love and Kony Ealy had one each and Ryan Delaire added an extra half-sack as the Panthers’ defensive line regularly pressured Kirk Cousins. He was also sacked five times in the loss.

Dallas linebacker Rolando McClain scored the game’s first points and his first ever career touchdown on a 12-yard interception return. And, yes, one former former referee, who now works for CBS and has shown a hilarious ineptitude in the booth while analyzing plays that have gone to replay, refused to work Redskins games because he disagreed with the name.

Winston completed 19 of 29 passes for 246 yards and had four of his TD passes in the first half to four different receivers.

Then the Panthers scored 30 unanswered points.

James Jones had six catches for 109 yards and a score and Eddie Lacy rushed for a season-high 100 yards. The Packers have beaten their NFC North rivals in 10 of the last 11 meetings with Rodgers at quarterback. His two carries netted 0 yards. Newton found Olsen on a crossing route for a 9-yard TD pass to push the lead to 28-14.

In Miami, Romo returned from a collarbone injury to help the Cowboys to a 24-14 victory over the Dolphins. Now they have a short week to prepare for unbeaten Carolina on Thanksgiving. We understand we’ve been playing well at home.

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.

By nightfall, the Texans had won their fourth in five games, maintaining a share of the AFC South lead while the Jets saw their playoff hopes – and lineup – crippled, in a 24-17 loss. Both teams are now 5-5. Smith threw his 234th straight pass without a pick on a 47-yard completion to running back Charcandrick West. Smith extended his record to 253. Yates and Hopkins linked up for a 20-yard score on the next possession. It was exactly one play after Trent Murphy was flagged for a neutral zone infraction, and two plays after the Panthers were flagged for a false start; so right after Carolina got itself into a 1st-and-15 situation, Washington put it into a 1st-and-5 without a single play being run.

St. Louis (4-6) lost four fumbles and missed an extra point. The Carolina Panthers are averaging the third most yards per contest, 139.7 yards.
