The Carolina Panthers did their part in the tight NFC South race Monday with a dominant 45-21 victory over the Miami Dolphins at Bank of America Stadium.
Carolina is now 7-3 after its third straight win and is right behind the 7-2 New Orleans Saints in the division.
Cam Newton led the way with 254 passing yards, 95 rushing yards and four touchdown throws, while Christian McCaffrey added a rushing touchdown and a receiving touchdown and Devin Funchess caught two scores.
Things look much worse for the Dolphins, who dropped their third straight and fell to 4-5 and further out of the AFC playoff picture.
