The Carolina Panthers weren’t perfect on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, but their season remains so. The 27-10 wasn’t the most impressive victory Carolina has had, but they all count as the Panthers continue their march toward a playoff berth, a bye and potential NFC home-field advantage.
The first half was all about Cam Newton and his hot start. Newton completed his first 11 passes, setting a personal career high, as the Panthers offense operated very smoothly over the game's first two drives. However, the Titans proved that they are at least more competitive than their 2-6 record would indicate, hanging in there to keep it a 14-10 game at halftime.
