Given that there are only a few matches left to play, many believe that the schedule that Carolina has will help them get a flawless season – with only the Giants as the viable team to beat them.

“Beckham, who was fined for throwing a punch at a Buffalo Bills player during a game in October, had to learn how to maintain his composure, said coach Tom Coughlin”. This showdown will provide entertainment, for sure, but for the Giants, their offensive success begins with Beckham.
The New York Giants need to dethrone the Carolina Panthers if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive this Sunday. If Norman wins his matchup with Beckham, the Panthers have the kind of talent in key areas to shut down the Giants’ complementary parts, especially with Kuechly looking to stick with Tye. “We’re just trying to find a way to get victories”.
“It does go back to the fact that it’s really not about going undefeated, it’s about winning the Super Bowl”, coach Ron Rivera said. Beckham being thrown out of the contest would likely cost NY any chance of getting the win.
Cam Newton is playing the best football of his career in making smart, accurate passes and running at opportune times. Carolina lost cornerback Bene Benwikere to a fractured leg last weekend after he had been starting for Charles Tillman, who has missed the last four games with a sprained knee but returned to practice Wednesday.
THE BEAST INSIDE: Kawann Short, the team’s former second-round pick, is in the midst of an impressive season with nine sacks – the most by a Panthers defensive tackle in franchise history. The Pats won that game 27-26, but it took several Giants miscues in the fourth quarter to allow New England to escape with a victory.
Ted Ginn Jr. caught a 3-yarder to make it 7-0. The Panthers now lead the National Football League in the turnover margin with a plus-19.
On Dec. 13, 1998, the Giants ended Denver’s run at perfection with a 20-16 win on a 37-yard pass from Kent Graham to Amani Toomer with 48 seconds left.

Beckham, with the Panthers up 35-7, had caught three balls for 14yards on six targets up until that point. Newton was celebrating in the end zone again after Greg Olsen’s 37-yard reception three plays later. Shane Vereen’s 8-yard reception brought NY within seven.
