Grading the Carolina Panthers for Sunday’s 36-21 victory over Baltimore:
A+ Quarterback: Cam Newton was stellar against the No. 2-ranked passing defense, completing 21 of his 29 attempts for 219 yards and two touchdowns. Backup Taylor Heinicke made the most of a chaotic opportunity in the second quarter and got Carolina into field goal range.
A Running backs: Christian McCaffrey rushed for a touchdown and caught a touchdown pass, and Newton ran for a touchdown. Backup CJ Anderson made the most of his five carries, gaining 20 yards.
A Receivers: Other than a Jarius Wright drop on the Panthers’ first drive, Carolina’s receivers were excellent — particularly the young ones.
