Redskins wide receiver Andre Roberts provided a spark Sunday vs. the Panthers with his first-career kickoff return for a touchdown, the Redskins’ second kickoff return score this season.
Gano added two more field goals against his former team and the Panthers took a safety deep in their own territory to hand Washington its only points of the second half.
Cousins finished 22-of-30 for 207 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
And even when he’s been on point, as he mostly has through the Panthers’ undefeated start to the 2015 season, he’s been criticized in ways that other, more… That was little consolation after a dismal showing against one of the NFL’s best teams.
Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton may still have a lot clawing and scratching to do to catch Tom Brady in the MVP race, but he is continuing to make a relatively strong case for the award.

Martin ran for 235 yards, 177 yards coming in the first half, including runs of 84 and 58 yards. Meanwhile, the Panthers’ lead in the NFC South is now four games after the Falcons fell to 6-4 with a 24-21 loss to the Colts. “It was over by halftime when Newton had 167 yards and four touchdown passes, throwing darts into the end zones and ignoring the fool in burgundy and gold holding a sign proclaiming this to be “(Racial slur) Country”.

Carolina has the home field advantage today as it attempts to push its unbeaten record into double digits. “I’ve got to do a better job of getting our team prepared, quite frankly”. (But he won’t be voted as such.) It doesn’t hurt that the Panthers have scored 27 points in eight-straight games either. “The referee made a decision, made a call, and it’s not challengeable, so there’s really no use talking about it”.

The game was tied in the third quarter when the TD pass by Shorts made it 17-10.
