Panthers go three-and-out on opening drive
Cam Newton overshot a wide open Philly Brown on second down. That proved to be costly as the Panthers came up short of the first down by about a foot after Newton hit tight end Greg Olsen just in front of the sticks. Aqib Talib did a nice job wrapping up Olsen so that he couldn't work himself up field.
Denver will take over at its own 25.
