Panthers pound Cardinals, 49-15, in NFC title fight

Ginn was quiet all week leading up to Sunday’s NFC Championship game against that team.

A sack by Charles Johnson gave the ball back to Carolina at Arizona 31. Last season wasn’t too shabby either going 10-1 both straight up and ATS.

But that’s about where the similarities end.

“I kept digging us in a hole and we just couldn’t come out of it”, Palmer said. Jonathan Stewart led the Panthers in rushing this season despite missing several games and last week he rushed for 108 yards and two touchdowns and Greg Olsen and Jerricho Cotchery led all receivers.

“If it comes down to a pain tolerance and playing through it, I’ll be there”. The rest of Denver’s points came from the leg of kicker Brandon McManus, who kicked two field goals.

Carolina’s defense did the rest, most notably making Palmer uncomfortable in the pocket and turning Larry Fitzgerald, the star of last week’s overtime victory against Green Bay, into a virtual non-entity. If this unit can drive down the field and score quickly and often in the opening quarter, it will be compelling to see how the Cardinals are forced to adjust defensively and how Carolina responds throughout the game.

“I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure I’m ready to go”, said Davis. We’ve laughed, cried, and dabbed right alongside this team for a chance at immortalizing this season.

Arians vows not to allow that to happen again.

If there remain any doubters of Newton’s ability, this game – the most important of Newton’s pro career, the most important he’d played since winning a national championship at Auburn – should have satisfied them.

17, the Seattle Seahawks traveled to Charlotte, North Carolina to take on the Carolina Panthers in hope of advancing onto the NFC Conference Championship for the 3rd year in a row. “I don’t doubt any word he says”, Panthers coach Ron Rivera said.

Yes, he’s still as good as anyone at diagnosing defenses and changing things up – or appearing to, anyway – at the line of scrimmage. “He’s got playmakers at all the positions”.

Palmer was pressured into three first-half turnovers, fumbling twice and also failing to capitalize on the Newton interception, throwing a pick of his own in the end zone just one play later. “So we are excited about that possibility”.

The Panthers are plus-nine on turnovers over the two playoff games. Carolina scored 31 and 49 points respectively in its playoff wins over the Seattle Seahawks in the divisional round and the Cardinals on Sunday.

“After the punt fumble, we get the pick and then we throw a pick”. “We’ve been known to take our foot off the throttle”.

Carolina (17-1) ran away with a 49-15 victory over the Arizona Cardinals for the NFC title Sunday night, after Denver (14-4) edged the New England Patriots 20-18 in the AFC.

“His play action game is unbelievable”, Campbell said. It led the league with 39 takeaways, and at times it made an Arizona team that had gained more yards than anyone this season look amateurish.
