Cam Newton may have come of age in a single 60 minutes of play while head coach Ron Rivera gave his boss, Jerry Richardson, something to think about when it comes to his job. Happy New Year, Panthers’ fans!
Health Wise, Saints Lose Two Starters While Panthers Should Be All-In For Season Finale
For the fourth time in the last five seasons, the Panthers will close out the season against the division rival Saints, and the only thing on the line for either club is to finish on a positive note.

It was a day not fit for man nor beast, and that was just the yellow flags that were raining down on their heads.

Without Seymour, Raiders Left Defenseless Against ‘Healthier’ Panthers
Defense has not been a trademark of the 2012 Raiders, having given up 402 points in 14 games, so it will be no surprise if they add to that inflated number this weekend.

The Tackle According To Luke: Panthers Kuechly Cops NFC Defensive Player Of The Week

Carolina is also knee deep in players on injured reserve.
Injuries Force Panthers To Do More Shuffling Against Healthy Falcons

It’s Next Man Up As Panthers Prepare For Chiefs In Kansas City
The Panthers have had their fair share of injuries this season, so once again they have to reach into their bag of reserves and pluck out second-year tackle Sione Fua to take over for Ron Edwards, who is gone for the season with a dislocated elbow. Meanwhile, running back DeAngelo Williams is getting the reps while Jonathan Stewart nurses his second high ankle injury of the year.
Eagles’ Michael Vick And LeSean McCoy out for Monday Night Game Against ‘Healthy’ Panthers
