The Carolina Panthers improved to 9-3 on the season on Sunday afternoon, with a come-from-behind victory in historic Lambeau Field. A late acrobatic catch by Steve Smith led to a touchdown run for DeAngelo Williams with under two minutes on the clock to seal a 35-31 victory. After the past three weeks, the Panthers knew they had to come out strong on Sunday afternoon. They accomplished just that, as they stormed out to a 21-10 halftime lead. The second half however, was a different story. Green Bay for the most part dominated the second half. Down by 11 at the intermission, the Pack stormed back and scored 18 points before the Panthers even knew they started. With 11 minutes to go in the contest the Panthers finally started showing some life as they got their third rushing touchdown of the day from Williams to tie the game. At many points in the contest it looked as though the Panthers were going to let this one slip away. Aaron Rodgers was a force in the pocket for the Packers as he threw for 298 yards and three touchdowns. With a tied game and just under two minutes to go Mason Crosby of the Packers knocked home a field goal to lead by three. That is when Jake Delhomme and the Cardiac Cats took back the contest. Almost immediately after the visiting team got the ball, Delhomme chucked it down field. He threw a pass complete to Steve Smith, in double coverage nonetheless, for 54 yards and set up a first and goal situation with 1:33 on the clock. Smith fell as he caught the ball in front of Charles Woodson at the six-yard-line and ran to the one. The play was reviewed, but was not overturned. Williams took over from there on the next play as he obtained his fourth trip to paydirt on the day. With Rodgers having plenty of success through the air, this game was not over. The Packer QB would make his first mistake of the game though with just over a minute to play as he tried to force a ball downfield that would be intercepted by John Beason, sealing the fate of the Packers. Carolina remains tied atop the NFC South division with Tampa Bay with a 9-3 record and the two will battle on Monday Night Football a week from today at 8:30. |

Bowman: Glaus has evolved into huge key for Braves. [Jul. 29, 2010] First baseman Troy Glaus was not the highest profile free agent in the 2010 MLB off-season. His signing with the Atlanta Braves hardly sent shock-waves through the MLB world. Yet as Mark Bowman of AJC.com notes, Glaus has become one of the major keys to Atlanta's success through the first 4 months of the 2010 season (Photo/article: AJC.com). McMurray wins exciting finish in otherwise dull Brickyard 400. [Jul. 26, 2010] Another Brickyard 400 presents another failed gamble by Juan Pablo Montoya: as a handful of drivers running at the front of the field took 2 tires on the race's final pit stop, Montoya took 4, a gamble that backfired. Montoya's teammate Jamie McMurray captialized and scored the win, giving owner Chip Ganassi auto racing's unprecedented triple crown: Daytona 500, Indy 500 and Brickyard 400 (Photo: Getty Images; Article: Tom Bowles of SI.com). Former Wake and current Hornets PG Paul seeking trade. [Jul. 22, 2010] A scenario the NBA has feared could be on the way: a select number of franchises in "desirable" markets could be on the verge of becoming "super-powers," while "small" market franchises are left with the ambition of good rather than great. After Lebron James all but admitted Cleveland could not attract a high-profile NBA free agent, he bolted for the more desirable landing spot of Miami, where he could team with a pair of superstars to form an NBA "super team." Now, another "super team" could be on the way as New Orleans guard Chris Paul has expressed his desire to be traded to a franchise with the power to stockpile other superstars (Photo: US Presswire; Article: Alabama's Dareus latest under NCAA investigation. [Jul. 21, 2010] The Alabama football program has become the third NCAA football program that has won a national championship since 2003 and has since faced an NCAA investigation. The Crimson Tide join USC and Florida on the list of teams to face NCAA investigations in 2010, as the NCAA is investigating whether Crimson Tide DE Marcel Dareus violated NCAA rules by attending an agent's party (Photo: Zimbo.com; Article: ESPN.com). |
