Lucas: Miami Rapid Reactions
Quick takeaways from Carolina's wild win.
By Adam Lucas
1. If you didn't see it, there's no way any words on this page are going to explain it. Carolina defeated Miami, 45-42, in a game that had almost everything—good and bad. But it ended with the good, which is all that mattered.
2. That decisive play wasn't pretty, it wasn't perfect, but it was what Carolina needed to win. With Miami driving in a surprisingly leisurely fashion, Jeremiah Gemmel tipped a Hurricane pass, and Cedric Gray corralled it with six seconds left for his second interception of the game. He finished with six tackles, the two picks, a pass breakup and a tackle for loss.
