Newton, Panthers rout Cardinals, 49-15, for NFC title

It was satisfying for him to make it to the Super Bowl partly because the alternative was that the Cardinals make it instead.

And they claim they haven’t completed their task.

“I was definitely forcing it”, Palmer said.

William Hill U.S. projected the Panthers would be favored just 2.5 points entering today’s game, but Carolina easily routed the Arizona Cardinals to enhance its status.

Palmer won his first career postseason game this year but fell short of the Super Bowl. “You’ve got relish this”.

“Staring over at that sideline, seeing that feeling the other team has, is going to stick with me probably the rest of my life”, Palmer said. “It’s cool to see him get the ball and not be denied”, Panthers middle linebacker Luke Kuechly said. Throwing darts out of the gate, Newton’s first touchdown went to Corey Brown from 86 yards out on a poorly-covered pass deep down the middle. He gained 47 yards on 10 carries. “From last year’s loss (at Carolina in a wild-card game), we made that nice step”.

Panthers DT Kyle Love: Came to KC late in the 2013 season and then came back again during the offseason.

Newton was too much to handle. Five plays later he took a pitch from Cam Newton, raced around left end on a reverse, changed fields and scored. Ginn had a 32-yard punt return to set up his weaving 22-yard touchdown run and chased down All-Pro cornerback Patrick Peterson to prevent a second-quarter touchdown. However, he threw for 35 touchdowns and ran for 10 more scores during the regular season, and the quarterback’s ability as a dual-threat starting QB will be a pivotal role against the Arizona Cardinals’ happy-go-lucky defense.

“One of the things coach Ditka emphasized to us was to enjoy the moment”, Rivera said. We couldn’t pick a guy.

It was a rough landing for the Cardinals.

“We are who we are”, Rivera said. “That’s not to say it’s OK”. Their punting game only came out three times, and while they had the fumble recovery, punter Brad Nortman was underwhelming as he only averaged 39 yards per punt with none inside the 20. Carolina’s offensive line dominated.

It was almost a repeat of the strong start for Carolina in the divisional playoffs. Coleman was with the Chiefs in 2014 and went to the Panthers the next season where he signed a two-year deal. The Cardinals would never recover, scoring just 15 points on 287 total yards. Newton matured under the tutelage of Ken Dorsey and Mike Shula and now find themselves one win away from the franchise’s first Lombardi Trophy. NFL Mobile applications are also another way to stream the game between Arizona and Carolina, which can be downloaded from the Apple App Store, Google Play, and the Windows Store.

After a scoreless first quarter, the Cardinals got on the scoreboard with a 1-yard rush by David Johnson. When it comes to turnover ratio, Carolina was +20 and the next best team was Kansas City at +14. Of four NFC title games for Carolina, this was the first at home.
