CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton stared into the camera and flashed his big smile as the clock approached 1 a.m. following Monday night’s overtime victory over Indianapolis.
“Never a doubt,’’ Newton said after the 29-26 win that improved Carolina to 7-0. “Never a doubt. As long as we’ve got Captain America, Luke August Kuechly on our team, I like our odds.’’
One man didn’t win it for Carolina on this ugly, rainy night at Bank of America Stadium.
But Kuechly played a huge role.
He knocked down an Andrew Luck pass in the end zone with two seconds left in regulation to send the game into overtime.
