Carolina Panthers defeat the Arizona Cardinals in NFC Championship rematch

November 02 02:06 2016

A replay malfunction prevented a review of a fumble that resulted in the Carolina Panthers’ first touchdown against the Arizona Cardinals, a person with knowledge of the NFL’s handling of the matter told The.

B Offensive line: Newton dropped back 27 times and was sacked only once – and that was on a scramble on which he lost 4 yards. “I just can’t keep accepting, ‘Oh, we missed that one.’ Or ‘I apologize for doing that.’ Or ‘I didn’t see it.’ That’s horsecrap”. “We just didn’t make the plays to get us back in the game”.

And it wasn’t only Shipley who struggled.

Without access to a replay either in Carolina or at National Football League headquarters in New York, Nazzaro “went with his naked eye, so he went with the call on the field”, Arians said. He sacked Palmer three times on Sunday. The Panthers jump up four spots to No. 24. That led to Palmer’s 5-yard touchdown pass to Nelson with 20 seconds to play in the half. No, this was not MVP-level Cam, but he made plays against a good defense and was not afraid to run after a concussion-slowed season, just as he vowed this week. “Looking at it as we did from all the angles here, it look to us like it was a pass”. Remmers likely will get his fourth straight start on the left side, drawing a tough assignment in Jones, who has five sacks in seven games. Veldheer’s right arm was wrapped from about the wrist to the shoulder after the game. By time he got hurt, the damage was long done. Little did we know Carolina would rediscover its defensive dominance of 2015, and New Orleans would lean on feel-good story Tim Hightower to, at least for now, save their seasons.

“I thought he mixed it very well”, Panthers coach Ron Rivera said. “I have no reaction”. I’m sorry. I’ll try to get it.’ That’s bullcrap. We [need to] use this bye week to look at ourselves in the mirror and see what’s going on. They shut it down to fix it, and that’s when the play occurred.

The Cardinals could not get out of their own way and eventually ended up in a 3rd and 44 after losses and penalties. Four were for holding. Arians said. “Yeah, I think it’s something that has to be addressed”.

B Special teams: Graham Gano was 3-for-3 on field goals, connecting from 43, 52 and 21 yards. With the bad starting field position and only 20 seconds left, the Cardinals were not able to mount the miracle comeback and the Panthers would win their second game of the season 30-20. Greg Olsen and Kelvin Benjamin have combined for 1,088 receiving yards and six touchdowns while Ted Ginn Jr. has 19 receptions.

He was sacked only once during that stretch.

“He had a professional approach to the game both on and off the field and in my opinion is one of the best to have played the game”, Titans general manager Jon Robinson said in a statement.

“… If you don’t like it, then tell the coach or the coordinator to change the whole game plan”.
