The Washington Redskins have yet to win back-to-back games this season and that trend continued with a 44-16 loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.

“I’ve always labeled myself as a pocket passer with the ability to run”.
Newton proved again he can beat teams with his arm, throwing a career-high five touchdown passes Sunday and the Carolina Panthers improved to 10-0 with a 44-16 win over Washington. Six of those teams won the Super Bowl.
Tight End Greg Olsen said the team does not pay attention to the hype surrounding the game. If this team manages to steal the NFC East and make it to the playoffs, they’ll lose the Wild Card Game since it won’t be played in Landover, Md. Carolina is third in Football Outsider’s defensive DVOA, sporting the NFL’s third-best pass defense and 13th-best rush defense.
“He’s a lot further away from the injury, the back injury, so we do think he’s going to be more able to handle the consecutive days in the short week”, Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said. And now you can get one, too. “They know they have a shot, so believe me this is going to be a test. …Apparently this week finding out Dallas won, well they have hope and if a team has hope they are as unsafe as anybody”.
Newton’s four first-half touchdown throws were a club record.
Newton is completing just 57 percent of his passes (the Bills’ Tyrod Taylor is connecting on a league-best 71 percent, by comparison), but Newton also is having to work with one of the league’s thinnest receiving corps that includes Ted Ginn Jr., Devin Funchess and former Jet Jerricho Cotchery.
-The magical ride that has been the Carolina Panthers’ 2015 season hit a slight bump in the road Monday afternoon when two players were suspended by the NFL. Carolina has given up less than 30 points in every single game this season.
Osweiler, celebrating his 25th birthday, completed 20 of 27 passes for 250 yards, driving the Broncos 74 yards in four plays for a touchdown on their first possession and finding Demaryius Thomas for 48 yards and a touchdown on his second pass.
Vegas seems to be betting on the 3-0 version of the Cowboys under quarterback Tony Romo, who returned from injury last week without incident to snap Dallas’ seven-game losing streak.
Still, the Redskins (4-6) are only one game behind the NY Giants in the NFC East.
Jonathan Stewart (Running Back): Stewart had an excellent day as well racking up 21 rushing attempts.
The Panthers, which are slight favorites in Thursday’s game against the Cowboys, got in another practice Tuesday in Charlotte. Johnson, who has one sack in three games, averaged 10 1/2 over the previous five seasons.
Darren McFadden was a man among boys on Sunday, running downhill and out-muscling the Dolphins en route to 129 yards on 29 carries in a real workmanlike effort. “He went up and got the ball a couple of times and really made some spectacular catches”.
Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston threw five touchdowns with no interceptions, equaling the National Football League rookie record for TD passes set by Detroit’s Matthew Stafford in 2009.
Dealing with back issues on a short week last season, Romo threw two INTs and was sacked four times in a 33-10 Thanksgiving loss to Philadelphia.
The rushing game is where the true power on the offense lies.

Chris Ivory was held to 36 yards by a Houston defence – which has allowed just two TDs the past 14 quarters – and which came up big late in the fourth quarter.
