“It will fuel our fire as a team and we’ll bounce back”.

The Panthers came into Sunday’s NFC title game with a postseason record of 8-6, while the Cardinals held a 7-8 mark.
“It’s not over yet”. I’ve predicted all year long we’re going to win.
Newton completed 19 of 28 passes for 335 yards and two touchdowns, ran for 47 yards and two more scores and dominated the first playoff meeting ever between two Heisman-winning quarterbacks.
On Arizona’s first play after a Peterson muffed punt, Palmer was sacked by Charles Johnson and fumbled.
Ginn caught two passes for 52 yards and set up his own electrifying 22-yard touchdown run with a nifty 32-yard punt return.
If Davis can handle the pain associated with a broken arm, he can play. “To do things that we’ve done in the past and not be recognized for it, that’s kind of a kick in the gut because these guys work as hard as anybody”.
“And I think that’s it”. “But give credit to Ron and his football team”. Davis said after the game he fully expected to play in the Super Bowl in about two weeks.
Ted Ginn Jr. made the Arizona Cardinals pay for cutting him this past offseason. He’s playing different. He had to learn the game, just like all of us had to learn the game.
Davis underwent surgery on Tuesday and Rivera said he may need to wear a brace on his arm when the top-seeded Panthers play the Denver Broncos in the National Football League championship game on February 7 in Santa Clara, California.
Davis broke his arm in a collision with Cardinals tight end Darren Fells midway through the second quarter.
At his Monday news conference, Arians was a loss to explain why the team’s best players played so poorly Sunday night – not only Palmer, but Patrick Peterson, Calais Campbell and even Larry Fitzgerald.
The Patriots, however, would not quit and with 12 seconds left Brady hit Rob Gronkowski with a four-yard touchdown pass. Denver, of course, has made a habit of going to Super Bowls, reaching it for a record-tying eighth time. They advanced to what feels necessary to label the first Super Bowl of Newton’s career, in which they will face the Denver Broncos in what might be Manning’s final game. “You have to be able to get pressure on him, but you have to be decisive on how you’re rushing”. He promises that won’t happen again, though he probably should be concerned how his defense ran out of gas in the second half of that game. They aren’t going to necessarily wow you with playmakers on offense.
“It was a tough day”.
“You have to look back and see a lot of positive things”. Such NFL players practise with the team but, unless called up to the active 53-man roster and then selected to be among the 46 allowed to dress in any week’s NFL game, they watch the game usually on the sideline, in team sweats. “He’s just a kid on the field and that’s the way the game is supposed to be played”. That was the first of four interceptions thrown by Palmer in the game. They can join the 2007 New England Pat-riots, 1986 Chicago Bears and 1985 San Francisco 49ers as the only teams to win 18.
Two plays later Steven Jackson powered over from the one.
Carolina’s first possession resulted in an eight-play, 39-yard drive and Gano’s 45-yard field goal.

The Patriots began the second half chipping away at the Denver lead with Gostkowski connecting on a 38-yard field for the only score of the quarter.
