After a subpar week, our former Tigers made a much bigger splash at the professional level. Cam Newton got a win, Cody Parkey kicked, Blake Countess scored, and Auburn had a nice showing in the NFL over the weekend.
We start with the Chosen One.
Cam Newton’s huge run to clinch the ballgame was one of the biggest plays of the day in the NFL, as it helped the 8-4 Panthers beat the 10-2 Vikings. Now, Carolina’s right in the thick of the playoff hunt with a 9-4 record overall.
On the day, Cam went just 13-25 for 137 yards, a touchdown and an interception, but he added 70 rushing yards on 11 carries to help Carolina win.
