For Carolina Panthers fans declining to judge the total domination of both offensive and defensive line play until maybe after the Pittsburgh game (Week 10), Sunday was still a profoundly professional pounding in a 36-21 victory over Baltimore. After surrendering an 11-play, 75 yard drive on the Ravens first possession, the defense gave up nothing until the last minute of the 3rd quarter, and the offense scored 27 straight points in between.
THAT is what wakes the dreams of 2015 for those who *want* to think the best. (Okay, and proof would include beating Pittsburgh…)
Cam Newton has repeatedly shown the physicality of a 6-foot-5, 250 pound quarterback that offensive coordinator Norv Turner has commented about often- specifically controlled runs like his 12-yard naked bootleg touchdown and shorter, faster passing routes- there are also plenty of attaboys!
