Panthers 31 Bengals 21: 5 winners and 3 losers from Carolina’s win over the Bengals The Panthers beat an undefeated Bengals squad and showed us just how good they can be. Here’s the guys who shined (and a few that didn’t).WinnersCam Newton15/24 Youth David Mayo Jersey , 150 yards and two passing touchdowns coupled with 10 carries for 36 yards and two rushing touchdowns. It is amazing that analysts and experts still doubt Cam Newton. He is the engine to this offense, and Norv Turner has gone all in on letting Cam be Cam. You can’t really doubt a guy responsible for 24 of your 31 points in a win. Cam had a few off throws as we should expect at this point, but he made receivers prone to drops look really good today.Christian McCafferyAfter a heavy dose of CMC in the passing game over the first two weeks, the Panthers decided to give him the lion’s share of the rushing offense. The result? 28 carries for 184 yards and 6.6 yards per carry. Deuce Deuce showed just why he was a top 10 pick today Stitched David Mayo Jersey , running the ball down the Bengals throats as the game plan dictated. A guy who can go over 100 yards rushing or receiving in any given game is dangerous, and will be a great pairing with Cam over the next few years. Also, major props to a banged up offensive line who paved the way for his performance.Efe ObadaA man once relegated to essentially a free spot on the practice squad, Obada came out in his first NFL action with the Panthers and played the game of his life. He logged a sack Youth Greg Van Roten Jersey , a pass deflection (which could have easily been ruled a strip sack), and a miraculous interception off a batted pass. The staff here at CSR scratched our heads as to why he was active over Marquise Haynes, and Obada kindly shoved that crow right down our throats.Donte JacksonThis kid is an animal. He picked off two passes, had a few nice breakups Stitched Greg Van Roten Jersey , and hit like he was 20 pounds heavier at times. Between chasing down sweeps and running step for step with John Ross, we see why he was a hyped second round pick. I really like his swagger, and he’s one of few corners who can actually crash down and make a play on an underneath route despite this 10 yard cushion the defense seems hell bent on playing.James BradberryBradberry was expected to once again cover an elite receiver today. And despite Green having to leave with a groin injury, while he was in Bradberry managed to limit his effectiveness. Green logged five catches for 58 yards Youth Eric Reid Jersey , which is far better than any of us expected going against Bradberry. While he isn’t a shutdown corner by any means right now, but allowing the catch and minimizing the YAC on elite receivers is a major plus for a secondary that still needs work on the back end. If you were like many fans including myself you noticed during last week’s AFC conference championship that game analyst Tony Romo was pretty good at predicting what the teams were going to do before they actually did it. More specifically he was good at predicting what the Patriots were going to do. Here’s a video mash up of those he nailed down the stretch.The official count for the game was fifteen predictions for Romo and he got thirteen correct. That is pretty dang good. It certainly isn’t what we have grown to expect. The constant generalized bluster from analysts like Chris Collinsworth has made us numb. Romo was a refreshing change. So his success has now led to a Super Bowl prop bet. Such is the state of sports this day. From Top Bet:If you think Romo has a little Nostradamus in him then eight correct predictions could win you some money. Before you do that you might want to read this possible explanation:I guess this might incline you to take the over since it remains the Patriots in the game, the team Romo seems to know so well. This is a tough one to call. I like the under though as eight seems like a lot of predictions.
