Cam Newton dominates in win over the Redskins
You’ll see him change the call at the LOS throughout the game. Then the guys kind of settled in. We understand that, and that’s what it’s all about. Luke Kuechly fell on the ball there, once again giving the Panthers an opportunity to drive the nail into the coffin even deeper. It was 14-14 at the end of the first quarter. He really came into this under control. Look for the Panthers to only play starters for a half, or rest them entirely in weeks 16 and 17. It’s easy when your name is Cam Newton. He’s absolutely going to get there at a few time this year, and if he gets to it at all this season, that high mark is his. Cam Newton should have another fine outing against this suspect defense.
The Panthers struck first after safety Kurt Coleman intercepted a Cousins pass and returned it 28 yards to the Washington 31-yard line. More importantly I like how he went after the football. “I come from Detroit”. Similarly to Carolina’s first score, the Redskins were unable to defend the dump off pass for a touchdown. Field goals sailed through the goal posts without a problem. “We’ll keep things in perspective”. Meanwhile, the Panthers scored 30 unanswered points. I like the way he is playing.
Also, the running game hasn’t been there for the Redskins this afternoon.
But we can’t have one without the other, can’t have the wonder of the National Football League without the warts of the revelers. But he has been very vital to what we do on the offensive side. Cousins with four yards. While he’s not as accurate as we would hope, five touchdowns more than makes up for something like that.
On how it feels being 10-0: “Well it feels great, feels great”. A tight game that went back and forth ended with the Jaguars claiming an important 19-13 victory over their rivals. It was just overall execution.
The Skins committed nine penalties today, with eight being on the defense. It was complete but short of the first down.
Winston tied a rookie record with five touchdown passes, Martin ran for 235 yards for the Buccaneers. The second thing is Newton has gotten much better at his pre-snap adjustments.
3. Devin Funchess is growing up before our eyes. I can tell you that. “In the Seahawks game, that was all on me”. That’d be six more that his career best. I am sorry I didn’t understand him better until this week.
Broncos head coach Gary Kubiak has said that Brock Osweiler will be the starting quarterback this weekend against the Chicago Bears.
“I don’t have an answer for it”, Jackson said of the team’s road woes. I’ve always labeled myself as a pocket passer with the ability to run. 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.
The Panthers, who have won 14 consecutive regular season games, travel to Dallas to face the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day.
“That’s a 14-point turn right there”, Redskins coach Jay Gruden said.
Rivers had his worst game of the season, throwing for just 178 yards.
“He just brings so much energy when he’s in there”, Rivera said. I think that is pretty good. There are a lot of pieces that go in.
On not letting Washington back in the game: “It was good”. A young team doesn’t need the added pressure of being undefeated in the playoffs. The numbers suggest this game will get out of hand and the Redskins will have to rely on turning the ball over to get the lead. That’s all we know is just to grind. “People are looking at you whether you want them or not”. The second win in a row moves them to 4-6, and only just marginally behind the Indianapolis Colts and the Houston Texans, who are both on 4-5 coming into Week 11. “With games like this, this is what it’s supposed to be like”.
On his strip-sack: “I look at my man and that is a reaction”.
-The Panthers’ defense forced a franchise-high five fumbles.
