During his post game press conference, Newton offered a simple solution for anyone upset with his dance moves.

Panthers’ quarterback Cam Newton was almost flawless completing 21 of 26 passes for 217 yards with a touchdown.
Jonathan Stewart and Newton give the undefeated Panthers powerful options running the ball, and Newton leads Carolina with five touchdowns rushing. Last year, he had just one sack until he had one in each of the Panthers’ final three games. “It was pretty loud at times when we were on defense and when the offense made a good play”.
Though Manning became the NFL’s all-time leading passer with his first completion of the day, he was also lifted from the game after playing ineffectively and struggling to dodge pressure while playing with sore ribs and a foot injury.
Newton also ran for a touchdown, marking the 30th game he has scored through the air and the ground. Steve Beuerlein holds the franchise record for most consecutive completions at the start of the game (12 vs. Dallas on 10/11/98).
On the season, the Carolina Panthers average 205.1 yards in passing and 144.0 yards in rushing.
Everything interim coach Mike Mularkey wanted to see from his team was right there in front of him at Nissan Stadium on Sunday.
“It’s about reading your keys and doing your responsibility moreso than anything else”, Panthers coach Ron Rivera said.
What do you guys think about this Week 10 game?
The Carolina Panthers (8-0) are coming from a 37-29 win over the Green Bay Packers last week. Mariota will have to maneuver around a Panthers’ secondary that has allowed less than six yards per attempt and has intercepted six passes in comparison to the four touchdowns they’ve allowed.
Next up the Panthers face the Washington Redskins, who mopped the floor with the Saints in a 47-14 victory. I believe his strengths and weakness have to balance out, making him about average in terms of National Football League quarterbacks.
The Titans only got the ball into Panthers territory once in the second half as Carolina’s defense clamped down.
Even with the reversal, Ginn made a big impact on field position, setting up Graham Gano’s two second-half field goals that finally gave Carolina a two-score cushion with returns of 15 and 23 yards.
Then there was the dropped pass by tight end Anthony Fasano that was a sure first down, and would have kept the chains moving. The rookie quarterback rushed a career-high five times versus the Buffalo Bills on October 11 and the Panthers this Sunday. Don’t expect this game to end up being very close when everything is said and done. That tied the score at 7 with 3:38 left in the first quarter. The Titans had only one first down in the second half until their final possession, which ended with a catch and lost fumble by Dexter McCluster. Newton didn’t back down and hit the dab again before the players were separated.
Ryan Succop’s 45-yard field goal narrowed the deficit to 14-10 with 7:45 left in the half.
If the Panthers win Sunday, they’ll ensure another streak continues.
The quarterback reads the linebackers, and if they bite on the rush and leave their zone, Mariota has the option to pull the ball from the tailback and throw, which could lead to a big-play opportunity.
