Cam Newton snatches fan banner, Packers fan cries foul
That meant the fifth-year quarterback tearing down a large Green Bay Packers banner before the game that was hanging over the inside wall of the stadium – and later taking down the Packers by throwing for three touchdowns and running for another in a 37-29 win. Once it became apparent that they needed a spark, they seemed to play with more urgency in the fourth quarter.
Don’t be fooled by their 6-2 record.
The Vikings won their seventh straight home game despite losing quarterback Teddy Bridgewater to concussion early in the fourth quarter, and St. Louis having first possession in overtime.
“We had an opportunity for a pitch-and-catch touchdown, and I got scared by something”, Rodgers said. “I will definitely be thinking about that one on the ride home”.
It capped a frustrating day for the Packers. “We should be happy about it, ‘” Lang said. “You’re only as good as your last game and we’ve dropped two in a row pretty handily”. “I can not stress enough how much (Short) meant going in there and making it happen”. That’s the thing that’s probably the most disappointing is just the holes that we’re digging ourselves. “That’s not the type of game that we are capable of playing, but we just have to look past it at this point”. Through the first five games of the season, the Packers were a top three team in the league when it came to recording sacks. “That’s when I went to security and told them he stole it. The first officer I talked to just laughed”.
Funchess finished with a career-best three receptions for 71 yards, almost matching his season total of 90.
The Panthers (8-0) continued the best start in franchise history with their second victory in less than a week after recovering in overtime to defeat the Indianapolis Colts on Monday night. The short view is going to be that the Panthers need to close out their games. We can move the ball.
Dalton still doesn’t have the attractive mind that Manning does and we’ll see if his synapses get fried as the games get bigger and pressure comes down.
Several of Newton’s teammates then chimed in to say that they had pressured their quarterback to steal the banner.
The defense could say the same thing.
Davis intercepted Aaron Rodgers’ fourth-and-goal pass from the 4-yard line on the first play after the two-minute warning. The inexperienced cornerbacks had trouble with the deep ball. Down by 37-14, frustration set in as Ha Ha Clinton-Dix began jawing at Julius Peppers, who was seated on the bench.
“It went from a fun event to I was disgusted”, Dobs said.
Major injuries to stars have been the story for many teams this season, and Week 9 was certainly no different.
The Panthers extended their regular-season win streak to 12, dating back to last season, and put themselves in terrific shape in the NFC standings, where every other team has at least two losses.
Rodgers was referring to an unusual lapse in judgment that saw him miss a wide-open Randall Cobb with a chance to tie up the game. The team that has an answer for everything suddenly can’t find a solution for anything.
