BALTIMORE – It’s been this kind of season for the Baltimore Ravens: Even when they win, they lose. “We continue to play our game”. The Panthers haven’t had many huge plays this season, but they’ve amassed majority of their yardage through the run game and finishing it off with a touchdown. The Redskins defense has given up more than 135 yards per game so they will need to figure out a way to stop the powerful quarterback.

“It’s an honor first (to play on Thanksgiving), but before everything else we’ve got to get guys mended up”, Newton said.
“We have to get better, I can tell you that”. Funchess caught four passes for 64 yards and a touchdown in the Panthers’ 44-16 win over the Redskins, and may be getting going at just the right time.
The Carolina Panthers improved to 10-0 and increased their NFC South lead to four games with a dominant 44-14 win over the Washington Redskins.
The Panthers offense had low expectations coming into this season after wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin tore his ACL, but Newton has grown as a quarterback and leader. Six of those teams won the Super Bowl.
Panthers coach Ron Rivera, who says his team still has a chip on its shoulder despite the 10-0 start, did.
Cam Newton threw 5 touchdown passes and Jonathan Stewart ran for over 100 yards for the Panthers against the Redskins. Cam Newton completed 21 of 27 passes for 217 yards and one touchdown, and added 23 yards and ran for another TD.
“Between the fumbles and the picks, we had a couple short fields”, Olsen said. When they beat the Saints that 47 point stomping was more of an exception for how the unit has performed this year. We didn’t sit on them. “I know we scored a lot of touchdowns, and that’s obviously what you’re looking for”.

NOTES: The Panthers have scored at least 27 points in eight straight games…. “Top of the mountain”, Redskins coach Jay Gruden said. “The referee made a decision, made a call, and it’s not challengeable, so there’s really no use talking about it”.
While the touchdown helped build a lead the Panthers never came close to surrendering, Funchess’ highlight-reel play on Sunday came in the fourth quarter, when he again climbed the ladder to grab a ball over Culliver.
Newton found Olsen on a crossing route for a 9-yard TD pass to push the lead to 28-14. Addison had 1.5 sacks, Ealy and Love had one sack and Delaire had a half sack with Addison.
But instead of sitting back in zone coverage on the first play of the second half, McDermott sent Bené Benwikere on a blitz, and the second-year cornerback proceed to sack Kirk Cousins, strip him of the ball and recover it at the Washington 11.
In his first three seasons with the Broncos, Brock Osweiler threw a total of 30 passes.

The Panthers became the first National Football League team to go 10-0 after having a losing record the previous season, according to STATS. First it was a silly meme comparing San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick and Newton, pointing out one was headed to the bench and the other was an MVP candidate.
