Super Bowl Bound Carolina Panthers Claw Past Cardinals


BY JASMINE BLACKWELL Cam Newton and the Caro-


lina Panthers (17-1) demolished the Arizona Cardinals (14-4) 49-15 in the NFC Championship Game. They will advance to Super Bowl 50 where they will face Peyton Man- ning and the Denver Broncos (14-4), who knocked off the New England Patriots


in before the AFC Championship.


“I thought of this moment way this moment,” Cam Newton


said after leading the Carolina Pan- thers to a win in the NFC Champion- ship. “You’ve played it out so many times in your mind. When you run a touchdown, when you throw a touch- down, when you flip in the end zone – it’s kind of like that dream has now become the reality. It may be a surprise to so many people. That’s how I envisioned it in the dream.” “Super-Cam” was nothing short of


spectacular, as he has been for much of his MVP-caliber season. He completed 19 of 28 passes for 335 yards and ran for two touchdowns. He also dabbed, flew into the end-zone and posed like a superhero as fans shouted “M-V-P!” “He’s awesome,”


corner-


back Josh Norman said. “He put on his cape and he flew.” Newton helped the Panthers get


off to a quick start with a 24-7 lead at the half and they never let their foot off the gas. The offense was phenom- enal, but big plays on defense proved to be most effective in this game. Carolina’s defense stunted Ari-


zona’s top-ranked offense. Quar- terback Carson Palmer looked ex-


tremely uncomfortable in the pocket. Palmer finished with six turn-


overs, including four interceptions. He lost the ball twice on fumbles. The Panthers defense made Palmer look like an amateur as he com- mitted


turnover after turnover. “I kept digging us into a


hole that we couldn’t get out of,” Palmer said after the crushing de- feat. “We continued to fight, but it was just too much to overcome.”

“We are going to the Super


Bowl. We’re not going to just take pictures,” Newton said after the win. “We’re trying to finish this thing off.” Newton will make his first Su-


per Bowl appearance, hoping to fin- ish off his record-setting season by solidifying his status in
