Newton, Panthers beat Bucs 38-10, clinch NFC’s No. 1 seed
Derrick Anderson in at QB to take a couple knees. Carolina (15-1) finished the regular season with 24 interceptions. Nice job regardless how weak some people think the schedule was.
The birth explained why Newton switched up his typical endzone repertoire after scoring on a touchdown run against the Falcons – in addition to his usual “dab”, and just before handing the touchdown ball to a young fan, he pretended the football was a baby that he was rocking to sleep. Then he came back out after halftime and made the first tackle. “I think I still messed up on that fumble (following a reception)”. He rushed for 44 yards and scored on an 11-yard run. However, there is a massive game between the Green Bay Packers and the Minnesota Vikings for the NFC North title later on Sunday Night Football. Nice throw from Newton.
AFC 1. (z) New England Patriots (12-3) 2.
Cam Newton’s MVP case has been built on the notion that he succeeded despite his supporting cast, as though he were the NFL’s version of LeBron James. The Panthers have been doing it for years but it caught more national attention last month. “We knew that any opportunity that we had, no matter if someone went down, although we’ve had some big losses we knew we had guys that we’re capable of stepping up”.
He had the statistics at 16-of-20 for 233 yards. The Cardinals could have taken the top seed with a win and the Panthers loss.
It was, at times, amusing and at other times weird. Some chants of MVP filled the air after the run.
In Sunday’s postgame press conference, Newton was asked about his biggest memory from the regular season. The Panthers strong running game is a prized asset for a playoff team in the NFL. Newton to Brown for gains of 21 and 17 and to Funchess for 13. Bucs lead 3-0. Panthers need to show some life on this drive. He received 29 votes to 11 for Colts quarterback Andrew Luck and 10 for Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson.
“We’re going to have that next year, because that’s me”. He led Carolina with four catches for 54 yards in a Week 4 win over Tampa Bay. He is expected to sit out with a leg injury.
Did Panthers coach Ron Rivera expect all this going in? Replay was pretty conclusive. “Those things you didn’t see early on”. Let me introduce you to cornerback Robert McClain, a fifth-year player who spent the last three seasons with Atlanta. Tampa Bay won the toss and deferred.

Panthers Playoff Scenario: A win will bring the Panthers as the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Some of the runs didn’t get as much as they normally did. In addition to running backs Jonathan Stewart and Fozzy Whitaker being out for the Panthers, they’re also without receiver Ted Ginn Jr. and safety Kurt Coleman.
