Green Bay Packers
For the second straight week, Cam Newton has launched more than 400 meters, pass rush and avoid the Carolina Panthers, top to bottom on the floor.
Let Aaron Rodgers and the Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers to spoil the home debut of Newton.
Rodgers threw for 308 yards and two results, while the Packers took a 432-yard day after day of all the No. 1 draft selection to beat Panthers 30-23 on Sunday.
A week after throwing 422 yards - most in league history in his rookie professional debut - Newton on the casting for the franchise single game record. Has exceeded one-touch, and also run a 4-yard score with 37 seconds to bring Carolina (0-2) to seven, but the Packers (2-0) recovered onside kick to seal the victory.
"I knew it would be good, but if I told you I knew it would be this good so soon, I'd be lying to you," said Packers nose tackle BJ Raji, who was one of four sacks of Newton. "I got frustrated. We threw a lot of things for him today and was able to sit there and make some games they needed."
While Newton accumulated the major projects, Rodgers was the man to lead his team to a victory. He found Greg Jennings for a touchdown from 49 yards early in the third quarter to score kick off a run of 23 straight points to erase an early 13-0 deficit.
Thus, after Clay Matthews blocked a Newton meters below the mark on a fourth race to the bottom for 5, Rodgers found Jordy Nelson for a touchdown from 84 yards which was a two possession game and helped the Packers hang.
"It was not clean by any means", Green Bay, Mike McCarthy, Coach. "We can sit here and dissect all things not going well, but more importantly, who finished as a football team."
Although Newton had another great yardage day, the Packers' defense had three interceptions by forcing the great rookie. - Two by Charles Woodson Matthews, Newton stopped and the Panthers were shut down a touchdown to tie.
Two plays later, Rodgers Nelson is on the left side and the receiver ran down the band and all the way to the end zone to push the lead to 30-16 with 2:14 left.
Newton continued to break the 400-yard mark, followed by possession, to find Steve Smith deep over the middle for the 62-yard pass before the roof to run its course score. He graduated 28 46 runs and showed a lot of movement - has made Ms. Matthews is a grasp at least three times - and was ranked top rusher with 53 yards Carolina.
Rodgers said after Newton said he was impressed with the play of rookies.
"I think someone said in the locker room I'm a little happy that we played them early in the season," Rodgers said, "because when the entire number, it will be even harder to stop."
Since last week, Newton was in no mood to celebrate after a loss.
"We just have to get it right. Let's do it right," said Newton. "But I am not the person to sit here and say," Well, we have the next time. "I'm not that type of person. I want you, and I want it right now."
Newton could not ask for a better start in his debut at home to a loudly cheering crowd every move and hope to spend fortunes fall of the franchise. He threw a touchdown pass to Brandon LaFell 3 yards on their first album. Then after a punt return by Randall Cobb fumbled, Newton took the first of two goals in the field of players to take the lead 13-0.
But Rodgers and the Packers offense - who spent most of the first quarter on the bench - ended up in the pace, while Newton began to make mistakes.
The first was late in the second quarter by the launch of Smith in double coverage, with Woodson diving in front of Smith's band for the near interception.
His second interception came when he tried to throw against the pressure of Matthews with Woodson jumping in front of Smith to a second choice. The third simply reversed a Newton Legedu Naanee open and the ball ends up in the arms of safety Morgan Burnett near midfield late in the third quarter.
"It's a rookie quarterback who is learning and growth and better every time he gets," Panthers coach Ron Rivera said. "When we go back and really see the band, we will see players miss from there, he missed a post here, but for the most part, behaved with the kind of balance and calm that one would not expect. "
At the same time, Rodgers had a game without errors and has completed 19 30 shots. John Kuhn added a goal line dive for the first touchdown the Packers', when Mason Crosby kicked three field goals.
