Panthers wide receiver scores dazzling 23-yard touchdown in NFC Championship Game
That is a reference to Manning, who is 1-2 in past Super Bowls. Carolina Panthers cornerback Josh Norman wants everyone to know that.
The Broncos will face the Carolina Panthers, who beat the Arizona Cardinals 49-15 in the NFC Championship Game at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte Sunday. I was a young player, playing in the NFC championship game. Carolina is favored by four points.
“My role has been different and my contributions are different”, Manning said. He tried to force the ball downfield, but we were not letting anything go over our head.
These are 2015 file photos showing Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, left, and Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer, right. Denver, of course, has made a habit of going to Super Bowls, reaching it for a record-tying eighth time. “Yeah, we won the football game, but there are some things we’ve got to be better with”. “We came out here and fought our tails off and we did what a lot of people said we couldn’t do”.
And Carolina can play some serious “D”, too.
Discarded by Arizona just one year into a three-year contract, Carolina receiver Ted Ginn Jr. did just about everything against his former team.
Ginn caught two passes for 52 yards and set up his own electrifying 22-yard touchdown run with a nifty 32-yard punt return. He also caught two passes for 25 yards. “Whatever team he goes to, I hope it’s in the AFC, so we don’t have to deal with him”. “There was pressure all day”.
He finished 23 for 40 for 235 yards with one touchdown, throwing a late pick-six to Luke Kuechly followed by another interception as the game turned into a rout. During the regular season, he racked up 90 tackles and tied for the third-most interceptions in the league with seven. The Carolina Panthers ran for 144 yards against a very tough Seattle Seahawks’ defense. Newton hit four passes for 35 yards on their opening drive and Graham Gano hit from 45 yards for a 3-0 lead.
Palmer was inconsistent in taking his first career playoff win in last week’s overtime thriller against Green Bay in the divisional round.
“I felt like deep down inside that (Arizona) felt like I couldn’t do it and they sent me back out to the wolves”, Ginn said. Just as quickly as he was surrounded by red shirts, the swift Ginn emerged to cut across the field into the end zone for a 10-0 lead.
Ginn has had his best year, and against Arizona he had one of his best games.
“I wanted to do it for Peyton”, Miller said. But maybe his biggest play was chasing down Peterson after an interception in the final minute of the first half. No one forced more turnovers than the Panthers, and only five clubs gave up fewer points (the Broncos were one, naturally).
