But the Panthers held on to end the Seahawks’ run of NFC supremacy and advance to next Sunday’s conference title game with a 31-24 triumph at Bank of America Stadium.
But Wilson’s two first-half interceptions led to 10 Panthers points, and Seattle could not come back. Either the Panthers or the Arizona Cardinals will play in the big game and attempt to reclaim NFC bragging rights.
“To me, [the Seahawks] were the elite of the NFC”, Panthers coach Ron Rivera said last week about that comeback victory.
Wilson’s 3-yard touchdown pass to Kearse pulled the Seahawks to within 31-21 with 6:04 left. Stewart broke through Seattle’s interior defense and sprinted into the open field, running 59 yards to the Seattle 16-yard line.
No team is going to be full strength this time of year, but the Seahawks and Panthers will have their big names back on offense for today’s divisional round game.
RENTON, Wash. – It’s a given the Carolina Panthers measure themselves by the Seattle Seahawks and if you doubted that, consider the case of Panthers first-round pick Shaq Thompson.
Lynch has been the backbone of the Seahawks’ offense for years now but Seattle did well without him when he was forced to have surgery this season for an abdominal injury.
Carolina had the best defense on the field Sunday, and it’s moving ahead in the playoffs because of it. There are also a number of reasons why the Panthers’ run as defensive playground bully is just beginning. He’s already made history by returning from three torn ACLs – now he’s trying to be the first one to help his team reach a Super Bowl.
But, in the Panthers, they encounter their most formidable opponent since they emerged as the NFC’s gold-standard three seasons ago; a team that does everything the Seahawks pride themselves on and might do it better. On the other side, can the Panthers contain the run-pass threat of Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson? Stopping Carolina’s multifaceted rushing attack and freakishly athletic quarterback Cam Newton are prime, of course. He threw balls where only his guys could get them.
“The one that stuck out to me is the one against Seattle – Cam Newton to Greg Olsen at the end of the game”, Davis said, speaking of the 26-yard TD that was the victor vs. the Seahawks in October. Just as important as jumping out quickly to a huge lead, the Panthers held Seattle to zero points in the first two quarters. Here are three things you need to know about what awaits Bruce Arians’ bunch in Charlotte next Sunday. The Panthers had some offensive weapons – Steve Smith, Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo Williams were all on that team – but they absolutely couldn’t score. Stewart, who averaged 18.6 carries per game in 13 games, said he’ll be just fine and will do “whatever it takes” to be effective.
It appears that the flag was given to him by a Panthers fan, as opposed to Newton stealing it from a Seahawks fan.
Yes, Graham Gano also had 146 points worth of field goals and extra points, which was also a team record.
That game featured Antonio Brown catching 16 passes for 189 yards and two touchdowns.
When the votes are tabulated, Palmer will likely be the runner-up for this season’s NFL Most Valuable Player award. We needed a little more of that in the second half.

Keep in mind the field goal that Seattle could have went for on their second to last drive of the second quarter.
