Washington Redskins Game 10: Carolina Panthers – Five Takeaways
The win over Washington is an example of what Carolina can do when they are running on all cylinders: QB Cam Newton posted five touchdowns and RB Jonathan Stewart put up 100 yards on the ground to go along with a receiving touchdown.
With the game tied at 14 in the second quarter, Newton led an eight-play, 92-yard touchdown drive, capping it with a 2-yard TD pass to Ginn.
The Panthers are 10-0, the first team to reach 10 wins, Despite this, the Panthers are one point underdogs against the Cowboys, something that head coach Ron Rivera finds disrespectful.
The Baltimore Ravens beat the St Louis Rams 16-13 but it came at a huge cost as they lost Super Bowl-winning quarterback Joe Flacco for the year. Newton threw 5 yards to tight end Greg Olsen for a touchdown and a 28-14 lead.
On the season, the Carolina Panthers average 213.0 yards in passing and 139.7 yards in rushing.
“Between the fumbles and the picks, we had a couple of short fields”, Olsen said.
Aside from yesterday, Carolina hasn’t really had those blow out wins…but they find ways to win…on both sides of the ball, they get it done. We didn’t sit on them. “He might not even max out, but I know he’s striving for greatness, and if you can see that man, his confidence, it’s something”.
Benwikere’s strip and sack of Cousins on the first play from scrimmage in the third quarter led Newton’s fifth touchdown pass.
Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 22 of 30 passes for 207 yards as the Redskins dropped to 4-6. The Panthers placed Johnson on the list in the first month of the season after he suffered a hamstring strain.
Cardinals 34, Bengals 31: In Glendale, Arizona, Chandler Catanzaro kicked a 32-yard field goal with 2 seconds remaining to lift the Cardinals past Cincinnati.
Aaron Rodgers threw for 212 yards and a pair of touchdowns and Datone Jones had two of Green Bay’s six sacks.
The Cowboys are 3-0 with Romo under center, going 0-7 in games he missed due to a broken collarbone. Additionally, the Panthers have 15 interceptions to the opponents’ nine, with cornerback Josh Norman and safety Kurt Coleman leading the team with four each. We understand that, and that’s what it’s all about. “It was over by halftime when Newton had 167 yards and four touchdown passes, throwing darts into the end zones and ignoring the fool in burgundy and gold holding a sign proclaiming this to be “(Racial slur) Country”.
The Panthers have 5 games left and three of them are on the road. He is the piece that leads the offense and results in the most yards gained, but there are many other important pieces on offense, defense and special teams, according to the NY Post. The difference between the Panthers’ run game and the Cowboys’ run game?
But interceptions by Ed Pleasant and Andre Hall on New York’s last two possessions cemented the Texans’ come-back season as they keep pace with Indianapolis atop the division.
Five plays later, Newton threw his third touchdown pass and added a fourth after a fumble by Cousins on the next series.
