Nothing takes the sting out of a miserable first three quarters quite like the incredible and nearly perfect fourth-quarter comeback the Panthers (4-2) managed at Philadelphia on Sunday.
Nothing can take away how good quarterback Cam Newton was in that period, as he completed 16 of 22 pass attempts for 201 of his 269 total yards and two touchdowns.
And nothing can take away how well the Panthers’ defense stepped up, first forcing an Eagles three-and-out after Carolina had pulled within three points, and then rallying from a 48-yard defensive pass interference penalty to squash the Eagles’ hopes at a game-winning touchdown.
