The Carolina Panthers Remain Undefeated and Clinch Playoff Bye

After the game, Newton went further, telling the media that the Panthers are just trying to seize the moment.

-RUSH DEFENSE: A. The Panthers yet again completely shut down an opponent’s run game.

Carr threw two touchdown passes and the Raiders (6-7) beat the Broncos for the first time since September 12, 2011, despite being held to minus-12 yards in the first half – the worst performance by a team heading into halftime in almost a quarter-century.

“Those two ones weren’t anything new to scheme with us not executing like we are capable of”, Quinn said.

“What’s it’s about is making sure we’re healthy, we’re judicious in who we play and don’t play in times like that”.

There was plenty of blame to spread around. “I have all the faith and belief in him”. To me, it means we need to find a way to get better, and we need to find a way to get the ball into the end zone. The Washington (6-7) broke a nine-game road losing streak dating to last season.

SAINTS 24, BUCCANEERS 17: Drew Brees threw a pair of touchdown passes to Marques Colston and New Orleans stopped a four-game losing streak with a win over Tampa Bay. Newton was sacked twice by the Falcons, who came in with the league’s fewest sacks.? Isaiah Crowell rushed for 145 yards and two touchdowns to help the Browns drop the 49ers to 4-9.

While the energy level was low, the players felt like they were prepared.

“Would I prefer he talked to me? Yes”.

“One thing I did tell these guys is to keep their personality”, Rivera said. “In that case the message was about poise, both sides, the offense as well”.

The Panthers say they’re going to take things week by week and make the best decision about whether to play or rest players.

The Cox and Hageman incident triggered the discussion.

San Diego still had 2 seconds left, and an incomplete pass that would have ended the game was blown dead for a false start.

The Panthers could secure homefield advantage throughout the NFC playoffs with a win against the Giants and an Arizona loss.

The 22-year-old Turner is an emerging star on the Panthers offensive line. Gronkowski finished with four receptions for 87 yards. Playing an Atlanta Falcon in your fantasy lineup this week was a frustrating endeavor. Ryan was sacked by Kawann Short and fumbled the ball deep into his own backfield where Julio Jones recovered it for the Falcons at the Panthers 46.

In fact, most of Carolina’s starters were out of the game in the fourth quarter. The makeshift interior line of castoffs from the Titans, Redskins and Rams is starting to fall apart.

Well, it is not clear if Greg Olsen is having fun, but we are willing to acknowledge that this may be his “fun” face. They dominated the Falcons on Saturday, scoring 21 points in just the first quarter – three touchdowns from Cam Newton. After an incomplete pass it would have been third-and-6 instead of first down. To all non-Panther fans, here are the top 13 players on the 13-0 Panthers (Note: players not ranked in order of skill). After Stewart was held out of the second half as a precaution, Fozzy Whittaker scored his first touchdown since last year’s playoffs. Cam Newton isn’t the type of quarterback who is going to consistently put up numbers like a traditional pocket passer. He’s exceeded expectations and grown into the leader for the team. Justin Durant also had eight tackles, but five were assists.

There wasn’t really a whole lot to blame the Falcons special teams for. He had two touchbacks and placed three punts inside the 20. Devin Hester was OK on kick returns, Matt Bosher kicked well on punts (as usual), and with no points scored, Shayne Graham didn’t have to kick at all. That was a big play for our defense. Olson leads the Panthers with 65 catches and 969 receiving yards. When teams adjusted to the offense, the Falcons have failed to counter. They might be beyond fixing.
