“So it’s a matter of us winning these next four games”. He may grimace a bit after one of Ginn’s drops, but he’ll also come back to Ginn and spread it around as best he can to all his targets.

The Panthers have often been the team that, like the Saints Sunday, had no chance to make the playoffs. However, it was able to recover and ended the half with a 3-point deficit, 16-13.
The New Orleans Saints aren’t looking for solace.
The Carolina Panthers are coming back to the place where their remarkable run of 15 straight regular-season victories started.
Cam Newton passed for five touchdowns, capped by a 15-yard scoring strike to Jerricho Cotchery with 1:05 to go, and the unbeaten Carolina Panthers wrapped up the NFC South title with a 41-38 victory over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. “And moving forward we know we can’t just win games by us just showing up”.
Early in the second quarter, Carolina cut the lead in half on Mike Tolbert’s 12-yard touchdown catch, set up by Newton’s 30-yard bootleg on fourth and 1 a couple plays earlier. “It goes back to his whole development as a quarterback in this league”. “I am really proud of what he did and the assurance with which he played”.
“They had a lot riding on this game and so did we”, said Saints quarterback Drew Brees, who passed for 282 yards and three TDs, including a 54-yarder to Brandin Cooks.
“I even told him, I deserved to get hit like that, taking that foot off the gas”, he said.
Seattle Defense-This looks like the bunch that went to the last 2 Super Bowls not the defense that has given at least 27 points 6 times this season and 39 to the Cardinals. Throw in the victory over Indianapolis and he’s 24-for-32 (75%) for 359 yards and three touchdowns when trailing in the fourth quarter and overtime.
Antonio Brown- The Colts had no answer, I mean 8 catches for 118 yards and a touchdown is game ball material but Brown had more, he topped off Sunday Night’s 45-10 win with a 71-yard punt return touchdown.
It was the first time in league history that a team scored two points defensively on a failed extra point attempt.
And while it’s known that you’ve had the ultimate say in them, it would be nice to hear a little show of accountability from your boss/buddy Mickey Loomis. He threw for 5 touchdowns, together with the go-ahead score with 65 seconds left. Olsen had to fall to the field to make a rolling fingertip grab of the underthrown pass, which was so close to hitting the turf that fans in the Superdome were roaring at replays as Payton asked for a review.
Rookie Marcus Mariota hurled three six-pointers himself and ran in an 87-yard rushing score as the Titans came out on top in a topsy-turvy contest.
New Orleans shifted its philosophy schematically in the offseason, overhauled the personnel at the cornerback position, and eventually fired defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, turning to Dennis Allen to pull the defense out of the cellar.
Your offense sputtered with a missed field goal followed by four straight punts with only three first downs in five possessions.
Anthony ripped the ball away from Stewart as he to push through a pile of players. Carolina players near him seemed to think the play was over and just watched as Anthony raced 31 yards to the end zone for a 14-0 lead. “I see nothing but good things happening for them”, Hanes said.
“When it comes to the protocol stuff, I don’t know what that is. But it won’t happen again, any time I get an opportunity to score”.

Stewart scored his TD shortly before halftime, but Graham Gano’s extra-point kick was blocked by Kevin Williams and returned 82 yards by Anthony to give New Orleans a 16-13 lead.
