Grading the Carolina Panthers for Sunday’s 21-17 win at Philadelphia.
A Quarterback: Cam Newton’s fourth-quarter performance gives him quite the lift after three dull opening quarters. Newton threw for 269 yards, 201 of which were in the fourth quarter. He was 16 of 22 in the fourth quarter with two touchdowns.
B Running backs: Carolina rushed for 121 yards and averaged 7.1 yards per rush. A good chunk of that was Newton, who rushed for 49 yards on seven carries.
B Receivers: Carolina’s receivers stepped up big-time in the fourth quarter, but like the offense, struggled early.
