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

On February 7, the Panthers will take on the Denver Broncos at Super Bowl 50.

Sunday’s Cardinals-Panthers game marked the first time in National Football League playoff history that two Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks started against each other.

Brady completed fewer than 50 percent of his passes, hitting on 27 of 56 for 310 yards, one TD and two interceptions. Cardinals 29-2 under Bruce Arians when allowing 20 points or fewer….

Panthers’ quarterback Cam Newton runs the ball in a game against the Saints. Oddsmakers expect another nice game from Fitzgerald today, as he has been given an over/under of 5.5 receptions with 72.5 receiving yards.

Cam Newton hooked up with wide receiver Philly Brown on an 86-yard touchdown pass to give the Carolina Panthers a 17-0 lead with 49 seconds left in the first quarter.

Manning back in the Super Bowl. Denver, of course, has made a habit of going to Super Bowls, reaching it for a record-tying eighth time.

The Panthers will face the Denver Broncos in two weeks in the NFL’s championship spectacle at San Francisco. “But that works when you can run the ball for four or five yards a pop. If we can get them for no gains and losses, get some long throwing situations, then you can really pass rush”. Still, there is the potential for big plays there if Palmer can get protection. We came out here and fought our tails off and did what a lot of people said we couldn’t do.

When they match up, it could be the most entertaining and significant battle in the game. As big as this game is, you can’t make it bigger than it is.

The defense – minus linebacker Thomas Davis (arm) and safety Roman Harper (eye) – then forced a three-and-out.

The Cardinals kept trying, and put together a 79-yard scoring drive on which David Johnson starred after an ignominious start. He said the Panthers got too conservative – something the team can not afford to do against the NFL’s top-ranked offense.

Last week, Palmer threw three touchdown passes as his team defeated the Green Bay Packers 26-20, and threw to Larry Fitzgerald for a 75 yard catch and run, which ended up setting up a shovel pass to Fitzgerald to win the game three plays into overtime.

Needless to say, the Cardinals are questionable late in games.

It’s not going to look like winter wonderland, as it did for the Panthers during practice this week, but it’s not going to be above 40 during the day, and the temperature will be quickly dropping to freezing as the sun sets. He threw two interceptions which was not like him.
