Panthers, Falcons in NFC South title clash
Print Edition
CAROLINA quarterback Cam Newton, who suffered two fractures in his back in a car crash just 12 days ago, led the Panthers to a 17-13 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Newton’s nine-yard touchdown pass to Jonathan Stewart in the final quarter put the Panthers over the top.
Carolina’s win now sets the stage for a winner-take-all NFC South division showdown on the final week of the National Football League’s regular season.
The Falcons beat New Orleans 30-14 to end the Saints’ playoff hopes. The former Heisman Trophy winner Manziel was injured when he was hit hard by two Panther defenders as he dove for the sidelines.
Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger threw a touchdown pass as the Pittsburgh Steelers clinched a playoff spot with a 20-12 win over the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Steelers (10-5) secured a wildcard berth and will host Cincinnati next Sunday for the AFC North title.
Newton’s health was the biggest concern for the Panthers heading into Sunday’s contest with the Browns. The star quarterback was injured in a two-car smash on December 9 near the Panthers’ practice facility.
Newton, who missed last weekend’s game, said he was lucky to have survived the accident. He was out of the hospital and back at training just a couple of days later.
The winning strike to Stewart capped a seven-play, 66-yard drive and came less than three minutes after the Browns took their lead on Brian Hoyer’s 81-yard touchdown pass to tight end Jordan Cameron.
