Panthers coach Ron Rivera says his team needs to learn to close out games better, and discusses QB Cam Newton's performance in the wake of Carolina's 37-29 win over the Packers.

That kind of perfectionism is needed if the Panthers are to dream bigger -- the possibility of running the table -- a scenario which ESPN's David Newton examines closely.
