CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Maybe all the Carolina Panthers needed was to play someone other than the Denver Broncos.The leagues top-scoring offense from a year ago returned to form Sunday. Cam Newton threw for 353 yards and four touchdowns, and the Panthers overcame four turnovers to beat the San Francisco 49ers 46-27 in their home opener. The Panthers racked up 529 yards on offense.Carolina lost to Denver in the Super Bowl and again in a rematch in Week 1, combining to score 30 points in those games. The Panthers averaged 31.3 points per game last season.Newton threw two TD passes to Kelvin Benjamin and one each to Greg Olsen and Devin Funchess to pass Jake Delhomme for most TD passes in franchise history with 122.Newton showed no ill effects from the four helmet-to-helmet hits he took in Carolinas season-opening loss to Denver. He took one shot to the head from linebacker Eli Harold late in the game after a pitchout on an option play, but quickly got to his feet.Its one of things those things where the momentum sways the play calling, Panthers coach Ron Rivera said. This game we were able to run the ball and it opened some things up. Last week (against Denver) we needed Cam to open some things up. Cam will play his role for us. This was an example of being able to keep him out of the running game for the most part.Newtons first pass was tipped and intercepted by Antoine Bethea, leading to a 49ers field goal. But the 2015 league MVP locked in after that, completing 24 of 40 passes while running for 37 yards on six carries.Olsen gave the Panthers (1-1) the lead for good in the second quarter when he hauled in a career-long 78-yard touchdown pass from Newton after the 49ers bit hard on play-action. That left the Pro Bowl tight end wide open on a seam route. Olsen finished with five catches for 122 yards.Benjamin, who missed last season with a torn ACL, finished with seven catches for 108 yards and has three TD catches on the season.Most of the DBs that were on me were small and I was able to jump and get the ball, Benjamin said.Bethea said the 49ers (1-1) didnt play up to par after their 28-0 performance against the Rams last week.We didnt do a great job of getting off the field on third down, Bethea said. And were going up against a very good offense. We can tackle better, too, but everything is correctable.WHAT WAS THAT?: The Panthers won despite the four turnovers, including one colossal mistake by returner Ted Ginn Jr., who failed to pick up the ball on a kickoff return. After Ginn bobbled the ball twice, the 49ers recovered at the 1-yard line and scored on the next play.FOZZY BEAR ON THE RUN: Despite losing running back Jonathan Stewart (hamstring) in the first quarter, the Panthers had no problems moving the ball against a defense that was riding high following a 28-0 win over the Rams in the season opener.Fozzy Whittaker ran for 100 yards on 16 carries and had three catches for 31 yards.Rivera said he has concerns about Stewart moving forward, but that second-year back Cameron Artis-Payne is ready for action. Artis-Payne has been inactive the last two games.GABBERTS DAY: Blaine Gabbert threw for 243 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another score in the loss. Gabbert pulled the 49ers within 34-27 late with a 75-yard touchdown pass to Vance McDonald, but threw two interceptions in the games final five minutes.FIRST TOUCHDOWN: Panthers linebacker Shaq Thompson scored his first career touchdown when he scooped up Carlos Hydes fumble and returned it 9 yards to give Carolina a 7-3 lead.INJURY UPDATE49ers: Linebacker Ray-Ray Armstrong left in the second half with a shoulder injury.Panthers: Stewart was limited to 9 yards rushing on five carries when he went down in the first quarter.BY THE NUMBERSNewton reached 121 career TD passes in 2,480 attempts, while Delhomme had 120 in 2,669 attempts.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLCharles Barkley Jersey .

LOUIS -- Alexander Steen scored a power-play goal with 59.After three days of competition, several thousand gathered in the north part of The Forum in Los Angeles to watch the grand finals of the Call of Duty World Championship. The tournament and fan favorite OpTic Gaming was ousted, meaning many left the event. But fans in attendance witnessed another veteran Call of Duty organization, Team EnVyUs, finally take its shot at the gold.Its opponent, European team Splyce, pulled off stunning victories in the losers bracket by beating the likes of FaZe Clan, FAB Games Esports and eLevate. While an unlikely opponent, Splyce, like EnVyUs, have had a good year in their respective region.But Envy comes out with a clean 3-1 victory, and captain Jordan JKap Kaplan, a 22-year old from the small-town of Marlton, New Jersey, is showered in confetti as the team lifted its trophy in front of screaming fans.I dont know how to put it into words right now, JKap told ESPN after the win. [This is the] biggest tournament in Call of Duty history and I think its a different kind of special. Right now, we are the kings so to speak; we won the biggest tournament, and no one could take that from us for at least another year when Im assuming there will be another tournament like this.This is the second-time JKap, the winningest player in competitive Call of Duty, has taken home the Call of Duty Championship trophy. Like his peer, OpTics Damon Karma Barlow, who won the tournament in 2013 and 2014, JKap has now won back-to-back; a monumental achievement within the competitive scene. JKap remarks it was a lot of déjà vu.We kind of came in as one of the favorite teams but not the favorite team, he says. Kind of second, same as last year. Then due to some unexpected pool play, we had to play OpTic in the first round, same as last year, and beat them 3-1, same as last year. From that point forward, both tournaments were just an easy winners bracket run. Then winners bracket finals came and played the trio of Nagafen, Aqua and Faccento both years, beat them 3-2 in the winners finals.While he expected to play that trio, who are currently under the eLevate banner, again in the grand finals, he met Splyce instead. He says that after his team took down OpTic, he believed they, who have been the arguably best team throughout the remainder of the year, would make it through losers. Splyce, however, gave many a surprise, including JKap, as they made history as the first European team to make it to the grand finals of the Call of Duty World Championship.I didnt expect them to be a finals team, JKap says. When all these matches were going on and Splyce and FAB were taking down all of these North American teams, I was like, wow, these guys are serious. It was a little different [facing Splyce in finals] because they play their ban and protect system a little different than North America does, but again, we came out and played our game and thats all it takes, thats all that matters.Throughout the weekend, many fans, commentators, and analysts sang the praises of JKap. Some even called him the best player in the game, a comment which he retorts, stating that he believes his teammates are much better than he is.Im not the best player in the game, he exclaims. Im very confident in myself, dont get it twisted but I acctually like to be the worst player on my team, which I think I am; my teammates are unbelievable.dddddddddddd Their slaying ability on any given map is just unreal.But with the title of the highest earning and winningest Call of Duty pro, with nearly $500,000 in career prize earnings, JKap has definitely marked his spot in history in the game. For someone who began his competitive Call of Duty career with Modern Warfare in 2008 and only winning a few hundred dollars in online tournaments, JKaps career has skyrocketed as Call of Duty esports has evolved.Its been a great career progression for me, he says. Ive been a top player, not to sound egotistical, Ive been considered a top player since 2010. Ive been at the top for a while and if anything, I think the general consensus has been that Ive kind of declined over the years, but Im worse now than I was before. Thats all whatever, Ive won the biggest tournament two years in a row so a great career progression.Much of JKaps career has been under the EnVyUs organization, which has grown significantly in the past two years. Led by ex-professional Call of Duty player Mike Hastr0 Rufail, JKap has been with the team throughout parts of 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 in three stints.What once was a small organization that only had Call of Duty when it was founded, Team EnVyUs has rapidly expanded in the esports space and recently received investment from SeirraMaya360 and relocated to Charlotte, N.C. The team has built a training facility here, which Rufail says that 2016 Call of Duty World Championship MVP Johnathon John Perez has already put to use before the tournament.The win at the Call of Duty World Championship, for Hastr0, is one that he believes means a great deal to those who have worked with EnVyUs over the teams nine-year career.It feels like youre just giving validation to everybody who worked in this organization in the past, Hastr0 explains. Every Call of Duty pro that has come through this organization, especially the old guys, who help found the team back in the day because we started here in Call of Duty. It just brings a lot of validation to everyone who has worn our jersey. I think theyre all emotional right now, Im really happy with what weve accomplished.And while EnVyUs can now say theyre the best team in Call of Duty, the beginning of the year was a bit shaky. The team, then composed of JKap, Austin SlasheR Liddicoat, Patrick ACHES Price, and Tyler TeePee Polchow, took fifth-eighth domestically at the Call of Duty World League Stage 1 playoffs. Following that event, it added John and Bryan Apathy Zhelyazkov in place of ACHES and TeePee. Hastr0 says for the first time, his team took a different approach to how it built this championship roster.We didnt know how far we could go with it [after getting Apathy and John] but what we did was build the team on character, he explains. We were done with trying to build the team based on player skill. We just went for character first and what can we do here to develop it and try to win a championship. It was just a lot of work to get here. Now that weve won, it was just a good moment. ' ' '
