Vikings stop Newton, snap Panthers’ home win streak 22-10

It was a splendid defensive performance full of sacks. A holding penalty on a Minnesota punt following by another hold on a nice run backed Carolina up to its own 2-yard line and set up the Vikings for a safety, but the Panthers still had a chance to extend their lead.

You can’t let good teams hang around: The Panthers were in control but never in command against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, a fact that head coach Ron Rivera said eventually cost his team. “It was an opportunity for us to bring the community together, and add something positive”.

Newman’s interception was the second of three Vikings picks in the game, adding to an outstanding overall performance in which the Vikings limited yardage, sacked the quarterback, and generated turnovers easily.

For him to compensate for a lack of running attack, Newton has to become a more accurate down the field passer. Small groups of police in riot gear chatted with fans as they arrived.

The outcome snapped Carolina’s franchise-record 14-game home winning streak.

Last month, San Francisco 49ers backup quarterback Colin Kaepernick started a protest movement by not standing during the national anthem.

PASSING- MIN, Bradford 18-28-0-171.

Wentz completed 23 of 31 passes for 301 yards, finished with a passer rating of 125.9 and has thrown for five touchdowns without a turnover this season. “It really has nothing to do with me”. “We’re going to look at making good decisions and getting the ball out on time”. “We’re just trying to do our part”.

By the second half, Minnesota’s often-struggling offense finally began to move the ball a bit.

“I think our team believes”, Zimmer said.

Cornerback Captain Munnerlyn said the Vikings’ focus was on shutting down Benjamin: “We just knew where Benjamin was the whole time”. The MLK’s quote comes from a letter King wrote after being arrested during a protest in Birmingham, Alabama, where he says that he couldn’t sit idly without being concerned about the situation in Birmingham.

Minnesota, which had only two first-half first downs, took the second-half kickoff and marched 79 yards in 10 plays for its first lead.

It asks for footage of the shooting of Keith Lamont Scott last week that wasn’t included in a weekend release of about three minutes of body and dashboard camera video.

The Panthers continued to sputter. “He is one of those guys where if you throw with him a few sessions and you feel like you can trust him”. That resulted in the home team punching in a quick 10 points.

“You want to go out and win a game with what’s going on right now”, he said. It’s a players’ game, and these guys have been executing and doing a nice job.

Ya think? Defensive end Everson Griffen was sick in the first half, throwing up in the locker room. Even worse, his two biggest receiving targets – 6-foot-5 Kelvin Benjamin and 6-4 Devin Funchess – were held without a reception on three combined targets.

Vikings: Asiata got the start at running back but McKinnon was more productive back with 45 yards on 16 carries.

In his place was Cameron Artis-Payne and Fozzy Whittaker who could not replicate his success on the ground against the Vikings’ stingy defence.

Carolina led 10-0 two-thirds of the way through the first quarter and had more net yardage than the Vikings (306-211).

The Democratic presidential nominee had been scheduled to visit Charlotte on Sunday but pushed off the trip at the request of city officials, who said the city needed to heal after last week’s police shooting death. Then late in the second quarter, Marcus Sherels returned a punt 54 yards for a touchdown to cut the deficit to 10-8, although Blair Walsh botched his second extra point of the season. Clemmings’ first game at left tackle saw him hold up, and when Alex Boone was hurt Jeremiah Sirles filled in at guard. Inactives for Carolina included WR Brenton Bersin and LB Jeremy Cash, who were both in uniform a week earlier. Offense, defense and special teams all scored touchdowns for Kansas City.
