“I was like I didn’t even know what to think”, Colin said.

But Newton shrugged off the honor, suggesting neither he nor the Panthers played a complete game against the Packers.
Meanwhile, Newton was unapologetic about cleaning up his field.
The Detroit Lions face a stiff, a few would say impossible, challenge on Sunday when they face the Packers in Green Bay.
The Fayetteville Observer reports that Mike Dobs collected his new banner Tuesday at a UPS store. The banner was presented to Dobs Wednesday morning.
When the family saw Panthers QB Cam Newton running their way during warm-ups, they were excited. Rivera said after the game he hopes Kuechly will be fine next week. Rodgers was so annoyed he threw his tablet on the ground on the sideline after watching the replay. “Cam’s been talked to and we are reaching out to the other party, and that’s where we are”. When Cam Newton came toward him, Dobs thought Newton was going to autograph his sign.
And backup quarterback Derek Anderson added: “Sorry bud for telling you to rip that banner down yesterday!” Dobs is retired Army, but works at Fort Bragg, running the site’s Green Beret operations course. James Starks continues to outplay Lacy, rushing for 39 yards on 10 carries with six catches for 83 yards and a touchdown.
“It was a Green Bay banner in Bank of America Stadium”. They took all our information. “That’s when I went to security and told them he stole it”.
“I was shocked”, said Dobs. “As a professional that gets paid to play a game?” Dobs was attending the game as a military guest as part of the NFL’s Salute to Service campaign.
“We played two undefeated opponents (at the time) at their place”, Rodgers said. Carolina lost a 17-point lead on Monday night to Indianapolis before rallying to win 29-26 in overtime. “I would have liked it if he would have signed the banner that they sent”. It’s just more of a respect to the stadium. We all know gangs. “You’re not about to sit up here and sell a Whopper at no McDonald’s, you know what I’m saying?”
The Panthers beat the Packers 37-29 on Sunday. With their win over the Packers the Panthers improved to 8-0 on the season.
“It’s still a side story as far as I’m concerned”, Rivera told reporters.
“If you don’t want it up, just give it back or put it somewhere and I’ll just return it afterwards, but I had prior permission for this”.
The policy is being reviewed to ensure it is clear and serves the best best interest of the organization.
Q: Was the banner in question returned or replaced?

The Packers won the second half last week 22-10, as quarterback Aaron Rodgers, following a dismal performance against Denver, almost brought his team all the way back, finishing with 369 passing yards and four touchdowns.
