Panthers held Packers to a scoreless 1st quarter and took and early 10-0 lead but was unable to hold on with the Packers outscoring the Panthers 16-0 in the 3rd quarter. Newton rushed for a 4-yard touchdown with :37 seconds left in the game which brought the Panthers within a touchdown of the Packers. After Newtons touchdown the Panthers attempted an onside kick, which if recovered could have led to a touchdown to tie the game. The Panthers was unsuccessful at recovering the onside kick which sealed the deal giving the Packers a 30-23 victory over the Panthers.
Newton ended the game with 432 yards 1 touchdown and 3 interceptions. Newton also led Carolina in rushing with 10 carries for 53 yards and 1 touchdown. J. Stewart led the Panthers in receiving with 8 receptions for 100 yards.
Rodgers ended the game with 308 passing yards leading to 2 touchdowns. Starks led the Packers in rushing with 9 carries for 85 yards as Finley led Green Bay in receiving with 5 receptions for 68 yards.
It's crazy that Cam has had 2 back to back 400+ passing yards games but yet the Panthers did not win either game.
Rodgers stated, "I'm just happy we played them early in the season because once he [Cam Newton] gets it together he's going to be a force to be reckoned with."
