Panthers Dominate Cardinals to Win NFC Championship, 49-15

Cam Newton accounted for four touchdowns, two passing and two rushing, to lead the Carolina Panthers to a 49-15 rout of the Arizona Cardinals in the NFC Championship game.

The Panthers scored early and often on their way to a decisive 49-15 win over the Arizona Cardinals in the NFC Championship game at Bank of America Stadium Sunday night.

Ginn admitted he left Carolina after the 2013 season to “chase a check” but was seldom used in Arizona last season.

According to Fan Side, the Panthers are already favored to win by 5 points over Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos when they meet February 7th.

“I will do whatever it takes (to play)”, he said of the Super Bowl. Wide receivers Greg Olsen and Corey Brown also had big nights with 113 receiving yards each.

Most recent example: New Orleans’ Sean Payton over Indianapolis’ Jim Caldwell – and Manning again – in Super Bowl XLIV.

Cam Newton, the quarterback for the Panthers put up another dominant display as the Arizona defense failed to keep them from marching up and down the field and into the endzone long enough for their offense to mount any kind of comebakc. Panthers QB Cam Newton won the Heisman in 2010; Cardinals’ starter Carson Palmer won in 2002.

– Aqib Talib and Bradley Roby, Broncos. Overall, the bad far outweighed the good, including one game with a passer rating of 0.0, 17 interceptions to only nine touchdown passes in the regular season, being sidelined for six weeks with a series of injuries, getting relegated to backup duty in the National Football League for the first time, and vehemently denying a report linking Manning’s wife to the banned drug HGH.

However, at that point, the game had already gotten away from the Cardinals. The last time a team scored as many as 49 in a conference title game was 1990, when the Buffalo Bills beat the then Los Angeles Raiders 51-3 in the AFC. At most books in this gambling city, the Panthers were a 4-point pick, though the early line varied. Carolina won its 13th straight home game, including three in the playoffs.

This will be the second Super Bowl appearance for the Carolina Panthers. Meanwhile, it is the second trip to the big game for Carolina, which lost to New England 12 years ago….

Denver’s defense is what got them to Super Bowl 50, and in order to win against Carolina, the Broncos’ D will not only have to play incredible but so will Peyton Manning.

Manning back on the field, playing the role of the most decorated game manager in history. Manning surpasses Elway as the oldest quarterback to take his team to the Super Bowl.

Several sports books began accepting bets last week on potential Super Bowl matchups, with Carolina at the time a 3-point pick over Denver. We’re not finished”, Newton said, later adding: “Our pen has a lot more ink left. Broncos cornerback Bradley Roby picked off Brady’s pass on the two-point conversion attempt. The Internet, as you know, is savage and they had fun at the expense of the Cardinals who up until the NFC Championship Game had a great season.

Larry Fitzgerald was the catalyst in overtime, coming up with a 75-yard catch and run on the first play from scrimmage, before taking a shovel pass five yards for the winning score.

The Panthers did lose two defensive starters in the first half, safety Roman Harper (eye) and linebacker Thomas Davis (broken right forearm). They manhandled two prominent defenses in the playoffs, Seattle (at least for a half) and then Arizona (14-4). “I went out all week and I was an average guy”. I can’t even explain how I feel right now. This had been a problem at times, and the Cardinals had a rep as a second half team. “We’re going to fight”. “We are trying to finish this thing off”.
