Latest from the NFL: Panthers' Newton rolling vs Falcons

The latest from NFL games on the 14th Sunday of the regular season (all times EST):

2:55 p.m.

Panthers quarterback Cam Newton shook off a hand injury to throw his third touchdown pass of the first half against the Atlanta Falcons.

Leading 21-0, Newton appeared to bang his left, non-throwing hand on an opponent's helmet after completing a pass, and was forced to come out of the game for one play.

Derek Anderson stepped in and threw a 24-yard pass to Philly Brown for a first down.

Newton returned and completed the drive with a 4-yard TD pass to Ed Dickson on a slant route, giving the Panthers a 28-0 halftime lead.
