“I have labeled myself as a pocket passer with the ability to run, ” Newton said.
Cam Newton completed 21 of 34 passes for 246 yards and five touchdowns.
While the Panthers have looked like legitimate Super Bowl contenders for some time now, their hot start no longer a fluke, they’re quickly becoming the team nobody will want to see in January (or February).
With a win the Panthers will definitely have history on their side as far as advancing to the Super Bowl. In this particular situation, they are not out of the playoff race and face a must-win situation against a Panthers team that has had a few close calls lately. Down 7-0, the Skins countered with a 56-yard touchdown pass to a wide-open WR DeSean Jackson to tie the game.
Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins isn’t receiving the lion’s share of the blame for Washington’s most recent defeat, a 44-16 drubbing at the hands of the undefeated Carolina Panthers, but he’s also not hearing any ringing endorsements, either.
“We’ve had a tendency here of when we have a couple of bad things happen, they get magnified and some more things happen”, Gruden said. Brady is operating at a high level that we are use to seeing, and Newton has his team undefeated when most predicted they would be a sub-500 team.
“I don’t know if it’s about the name or what…don’t single us out”. Newton found Olsen on a crossing route for a 9-yard TD pass to push the lead to 28-14.
FUNCHESS IMPROVING: The Panthers are getting improved play out of rookie wide receiver Devin Funchess, who started in place of the injured Philly Brown and had four catches for 64 yards and a touchdown.
Newton responded with his second short touchdown pass, this time connecting with fullback Mike Tolbert for a 3-yard score. He hasn’t thrown an interception in the last two games and Sunday tossed five TDs to help Carolina extend its regular-season winning streak to 14 games.
Denver’s defense stopped Jeremy Langford on a 2-point conversion run in the final minute and the Broncos held on to edge Chicago 17-15. Though Stewart isn’t known for taking over games, as he has just for over 100 yards just twice this season, his physical, aggressive running style adds a necessary edge to this offense that allows Newton to capitalize on worn down defenses.
The shop features jerseys for men and children for select players for both the Cowboys and Panthers, who remain undefeated and at the top of the NFC standings.
Over his past three games, Newton has thrown for nine touchdowns and just one interception.
Miami fell to 4-6. A fumble by Rams quarterback Case Keenum at the St. Louis 41 with 54 seconds to go set up the winning field goal.
Even though Carolina was wobbly after building leads in the previous two home games against Indianapolis and Green Bay, the Redskins didn’t provide a comeback threat.

Buccaneers 45, Eagles 17: PHILADELPHIA – Jameis Winston tied a rookie record with five touchdown passes, and Doug Martin ran for 235 yards for Tampa Bay. The Panthers aren’t asking too much of him and he only has three games this season where he threw for over 250 yards, but he is playing very well.
