Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera needed his team to overcome the largest fourth-quarter deficit and biggest point differential ever (17) for a win last week. Fortunately, quarterback Cam Newton turned three consecutive possessions into touchdowns and quality defensive play earned them the victory.
Their first win on the road this season the Panthers moved to 4-2 and remain in the midst of a tight divisional race with playoff implications. Every NFC South team won last week and with Atlanta on a bye in Week 8, each will play weekly from now until the end of the season.
