But Newton barely missed at all Sunday against the Titans, completing 21-of-26 passes to help the Panthers extended their record to 9-0. The Titans (2-7) suffered their 10th straight home loss within the 1st home game under interim coach Mike Mularkey.

Newton had a particularly lengthy dance after scoring a touchdown to put Sunday’s 27-10 win in Tennessee out of reach, which angered Titans linebacker Avery Williamson. A few weeks the offense scores 37 points, like we did last week.
Newton also ran for a touchdown, marking the 30th game he has scored through the air and the ground.
For all the money thrown at trying to fix the Saints secondary they are less than mere mortal without a pass rush. The Panthers enter the game undefeated while the upstart Titans have their phenom rookie quarterback in a healthy state once again. Detroit hadn’t won at Lambeau Field since 1991, so it snapped a 24-game losing streak in the Packers’ home stadium.
When Super Man want to pretend to be human he goes by the alias of Clark Kent. When Cam Newton want to show people that he’s human he drops back to pass. So what is Cam Newton and where does he really stand? A couple of these games we should have been able to close out and we didn’t. Panthers vs Titans scores and results will be posted here.
Panthers coach Ron Rivera said protecting Newton will be crucial because the Titans can send blitzers from any direction. “That’s not make any mistakes and we started it. When we started it, it started an abundance of bad things for us”.
“This is how you win football games”, said veteran Panthers defensive end Jared Allen. They started their season 1-0 before dropping six straight and then pulling off the overtime upset win 34-28 last week at New Orleans. He added 23 yards rushing, including a clinching 2-yard TD with 2:42 left. His handoff to Dexter McCluster had the Panther’s defense flat-footed, as there was so much space between the right guard and the right tackle for McCluster to run through.
B Special teams: Even with his 87-yard return for a touchdown nullified by a Joe Webb penalty, Ginn averaged 15.3 yards per punt return, matching his season best. Regardless, Cam and Ryan Kalil are going to need to work on the called protections on offense.
B Receivers: Tight end Greg Olsen pulled down eight catches – including a one-hander for the second week in a row – for 80 yards, and backup tight end Ed Dickson had his first receiving touchdown this year.
Newton’s longest streak had been 10 completions.
Newton said he’s not dancing in the end zone to be disrespectful.
His inexperience reared it’s head when he didn’t finish his route, and did nothing to break up the only Marcus Mariota interception of the day by veteran safety Kurt Coleman.
CAROLINA CONTROLLED FIELD POSITION: Only two the Titans’ possessions began ahead of their 20-yard line, one of which started at the 50 with just four seconds to go before halftime.

A 19-yard field goal by Gano at the 9:06 point of the fourth quarter, handed the Panthers a 20-10 lead.
