Grading the Carolina Panthers (6-4) for Sunday’s 20-19 loss to Detroit:
B Quarterback: Many will disagree here, and that’s fine. But Cam Newton’s only egregious mistake was the failed two-point conversion. He was 25 of 37 for 357 yards, three touchdowns and an interception — and that pick should have been broken up by intended receiver Curtis Samuel.
C Running backs: Christian McCaffrey played well in the receiving game but the Panthers only had 56 rushing yards.
D Receivers: A career day by rookie DJ Moore, who had seven catches on eight targets for 157 yards and a touchdown, and touchdown catches by Greg Olsen and Samuel were overshadowed by at least five drops by Devin Funchess.
