TAMPA, Fla. – For and the Panthers, a win over the Buccaneers to snap a two-game losing skid was one they had to have by any means necessary.
Mission accomplished with a 17-3 triumph at Raymond James Stadium.
“A lot of people may say it wasn’t how they wanted it to turn out, but it was how we wanted it to turn out,” Newton said after completing 18-of-32 passes for 154 yards and a touchdown and rushing for a team-leading 44 yards. “We got the win and we’re expecting bigger things moving forward.”
Bigger things are what everyone expects from the Panthers offense.
