Arizona is the underdog against Cam Newton and the Panthers for good reason.

But the Broncos barely held on, and the franchise is now headed to its eighth Super Bowl.

“That’s part of football – it’s not going to be a flawless game – but if you stick together every single play and you want it more than the other guy across from you, it’s going to show”. But Newton continues to prove people wrong by being the league’s best quarterback.

Ginn said he left Carolina after the 2013 season to “chase a check”, but was seldom used in Arizona last season. The initial line favored Carolina by 5 1/2 points, and was quickly bet down to 4 points. The Carolina jumped out to a 31-0 lead at the halftime of the clash and then defied the Seattle rally to advance to the 2016 NFC Championship Game against the Cardinals. What was Bruce Arians thinking with that pass play that left time on the clock for Green Bay?

This season, Finnegan played in the final five games of the regular season with the Panthers, tallying 18 tackles.

Heavy’s Pick: Carolina Panthers 27 Denver Broncos 17. Fitzgerald hasn’t been targeted fewer than 5 times and he will certainly be a focal point for Carson Palmer, who has a lot of trust in his fellow veteran.

Newton had 47 yards rushing, with TD runs of 1 and 12 yards, and Jonathan Stewart added 83 yards on 19 carries.

Palmer was sacked three times (twice in the first half), fumbling twice, and threw four interceptions. He also had 52 yards on two receptions.

Impressive against the Seahawks the week before Carolina topped that performance in their NFC Title Game with Arizona.

“When we were getting ready to come out for the second half, I didn’t have to say anything”.

The Panthers welcomed the speedster back with a two-year contract – and the move paid off. Ginn caught 44 passes for 739 yards and 10 touchdowns in the regular season.

As you might guess these teams dominate the NFC Pro Bowl selections with 10 players named from Carolina and seven from Arizona.

The Cardinals were the NFL’s second-highest scoring team this season – behind only Carolina – but couldn’t get anything going early. When the drive stalled Graham Gano booted a 45-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead.
