Panthers’ Rivera on blocked field goal: ‘He jumped the snap perfect’
He and most of his teammates filed into the locker room as if it were halftime. Then, the Panthers turned in a dominating performance in beating Atlanta 38-0, their first shutout since Week 3 of the 2013 season. They repeatedly were shoving and wrestling with each other.

Last Sunday was different.
The Giants are saying the Panthers provoked Odell Beckham Jr. into his game-long tirade.
Even so, Beckham now is a full card-carrying member of the Wideout Diva Club after his antics Sunday when he turned the game into a fistfight – more punches thrown than in a heavyweight fight – and included his ludicrous, intentional and risky launching into Norman on a blatant helmet-to-helmet hit.
On ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown, former Baltimore Ravens outspoken linebacker Ray Lewis said that Beckham, “Went too far”. You can’t act like a insane person and get 15-yard penalties and get away with it if you’re not delivering production at the consistently high level Beckham delivers it. The recent case of Damontre Moore, whom the Giants waived on December 11, is proof of that. He became the first Giant ever suspended for on-field conduct, making the wrong kind of history after all that coverage of the historic 25-game start to his career.
Norman called Beckham immature and said he should have been ejected.
Beckham’s development comes with an interesting, challenging wrinkle in the form of his on-field temper, and Coughlin decided Sunday that the best thing for him and the team was to let him try to play through his outbursts.
Eli thinks Norman “cried a little” to the media about Odell.
The New York Giants’ star receiver has been suspended.
After that play, the Panthers were suddenly reeling.
Still, Rivera likes the fact that Carolina’s final two games – against the Falcons, and next week at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers – both have some importance to the Panthers. “Guys were focusing on that matchup instead of just executing the defense and the call that was called”. If Beckham had taken a small caliber handgun on to the field and shot Norman, would even that have gotten him the rest of the afternoon off?
The incident serves notice to every National Football League cornerback that you can mess with Beckham’s psyche to the point that you will mess up his game. “It was just insane, man”, Norman said. Because of the volume of reader comments, we can not review individual moderation decisions with readers.
Asked on Monday how playing without Beckham would affect the Giants’ chances, Coughlin said: “You ask a question that requires no answer”. Ball was carrying a baseball bat that Carolina defenders usually take onto the field before games, symbolic of “bringing the wood”. They’re also still in contention for a ideal season-assuming they’re able to put the focus back on football. On Monday, Coughlin offered this seemingly stern statement about Beckham. He tweeted a string of emojis including lipstick, a purse and a bikini along with Beckham’s first-half stats line (two drops, zero catches)-an apparent attempt to use emasculation as an insult. Norman later grabbed the bat but didn’t engage in pregame words with Beckham and never motioned it toward the receiver, according to the source.

Carolina had a 35-7 lead late in the third quarter before the Giants rallied, scoring four unanswered touchdowns and tying the game at 35 with 1 minute, 46 seconds remaining.
