Grading the Carolina Panthers for Sunday’s 33-31 win against the New York Giants:
C+ Quarterback: Cam Newton had a great first half, and even executed a tremendous block to help spring D.J. Moore for an 18-yard gain. But he missed a wide-open Torrey Smith and Christian McCaffrey on the same drive in the second half, and also threw two picks.
B Running backs: A nice blitz pickup by McCaffrey and his first touchdown of the season (on a passing play) are the highlights from a so-so outing. But doesn’t everything look a little less shiny when compared to his last game, a 184-yard outing?
