CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers were at the pinnacle of their game the last time they faced the Arizona Cardinals in January.Newton threw for two touchdowns and ran for two more as the Panthers walloped the Cardinals 49-15 in the NFC championship to advance to the franchises second Super Bowl. But things have gone downhill since for Carolina (1-5), which enters Sundays rematch against Arizona (3-3-1) in dire need of a victory and looking to snap a four-game losing streak.We dont need no messages. We out of messages. We out of things that need to be said. We out of big, rah-rah speeches and everybody saying believe, Newton said. Man, listen, we gotta win. Thats it.Carolinas offense, which led the league in scoring last season, showed signs of life in a 41-38 loss to the Saints before the bye week in Newtons first game back from a concussion. But the Panthers will face a defense that has been outstanding in recent weeks, limiting the New York Jets and Seattle Seahawks to a combined nine points in the last nine quarters.Arians said Arizonas biggest problem in the NFC championship game is it got behind early and began to press under pressure -- something the Cardinals cant afford to do on Sunday.The big thing is you cant let them get a big lead or any kind of lead because theyre really good when they have a lead, Arians said.Here are some things to watch in the Cardinals-Panthers game:NEWTON RUNNING: Newton only ran twice against the Saints in his first game back from a concussion, but said this week he wont let the head injury affect how he approaches the game moving forward.The Cardinals expect a full dose of Newton.Having that freak of nature running down between the hashes and down the sidelines, thats not supposed to happen, Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson said. It would definitely be a blessing to not prepare for Cam Newton as a runner, but we know thats not reality. That is his game. You can tell that gets him into the game. That gets him fired up.JONES IMPACT: Arians called his defenses performance against Seattle the best hes seen since he took over as Cardinals coach in 2013.A big reason for Arizonas improved play is the addition of Chandler Jones, who had a strip sack of Russell Wilson. He draws so much attention that young Markus Golden has had chances to make big plays, too. Golden leads the team with six sacks; Jones has five.He can do some things that we werent able to do in the past, Peterson said of Jones. (We can) play a little bit more coverage and let him and Markus get after the quarterback, which they have been doing such a phenomenal job for us throughout the season.RUNNING WILD: The Cardinals have undergone something of a personality change. They havent been able to connect for big passing plays, and have become more reliant on running back David Johnson.The versatile third-round pick out of Northern Iowa leads the NFL in yards from scrimmage with 1,004. He had 113 yards rushing and 58 receiving against Seattle and came within inches of scoring the winning TD in overtime. He has at least 100 yards from scrimmage in all seven games this season.The biggest thing for young guys is opportunity, Arians said of Johnson. He got opportunities last year through injuries and made the best of them. Hes continued to progress this year.CAROLINAS SECONDARY: Carolinas secondary could be just what Carson Palmer needs to get on track. Carolina has allowed 13 touchdowns through the air and eight passing plays of 40 yards or more.Carolina will get cornerbacks James Bradberry and Robert McClain back from injuries , but the Panthers were struggling on defense even before they got hurt. Coach Ron Rivera said if everything stays the same Worley and McClain would start against the Cardinals.You didnt see the deep balls completed on them last year and its happened on the tapes this year, Arians said. Young guys get hit with double moves, and veterans too, but young guys are pressing so hard that communication can get a little screwed up.KICKING WOES: Both teams have kickers in need of a confidence boost.Chandler Catanzaro missed a chip shot field goal in overtime that would have given Arizona a victory Sunday night against the Seahawks. Likewise, Carolinas Graham Gano has been off his game. He has missed two key field goals this season, including a 50-yarder against the Broncos in Week 1 at the end of regulation that would have helped the Panthers extract revenge for their Super Bowl loss last season. He also missed an extra point that would have tied the game against the Saints in the fourth quarter on Oct. 16.---AP Sports Writer Bob Baum in Tempe, Arizona contributed to this report.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLTravis dArnaud Jersey .

Yoenis Cespedes Jersey .C. Lions has come to an end. Banks told TSN on Jan 2 that he had no interest in playing out the option year of his contract with the Lions in 2014, and he again made that clear in a conversation with Lions GM Wally Buono last week. Darryl Strawberry Mets Jersey . LUCIE, Fla.STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Earlier this season Penn State endured a rash of injuries to his its linebacker corps. Now, coach James Franklin hopes it can do the same down a handful of offensive linemen.The No. 9 Nittany Lions (8-2, 6-1 Big Ten) will have to continue their chase for the Big Ten East title without their top three tackles as Franklin announced Tuesday Paris Palmer will miss the remainder of the season with an unspecified injury.Already without starters Andrew Nelson and Brendan Mahon, Franklin is questioning whether to burn redshirts for vaunted recruits Will Fries and Michal Menet or move players from positions where theyve helped pave the way for the Big Tens leading rusher, Saquon Barkley, and one of the countrys most explosive offenses.We are not, at this point, doing anything, Franklin said. But the way this thing is playing out, you never know. We want to be prepared for it. So those guys will be up with varsity and get a bunch of reps.Compounding the problem is uncertainty surrounding Connor McGoverns status. The freshman has excelled as the teams starting right guard during its six-game win streak but also left the Indiana game with an unspecified injury.As a result, the Nittany Lions struggled for the first time since Week 4 to establish a running game and quarterback Trace McSorley was under more pressure than usual. Barkley was hit behind the line or dropped for no gain on 15 of his 33 carries and Penn State finished with 77 rushing yards on 45 carries.Barkley is already 18 carries over where he finished last season with and Franklin said the team is monitoring his snap counts to keep him as fresh as possible.Its also hard to take a guy off the field that has a chance to break a play at any minute, Franklin said.But Barkleys ability tto cut off of outside blocks was clearly hampered against Indiana.dddddddddddd Chasz Wright started his first game at right tackle and was beaten on a number of those tackles for loss. He also gave up two pressures that resulted in two of three sacks of McSorley, who was hurried to throw two interceptions and took a number of hard shots after releasing the ball.The front five was further shaken up by Palmers exit as it forced Penn State to move starting freshman left guard Ryan Bates to tackle where hell practice this week, Franklin said.I think that we have the next-man-up mentality, tight end Mike Gesicki said. Weve shown it all season long. Whether it was earlier in the year with linebackers and now with the offensive line. Coach (Joe) Moorhead always tells the backups, `Youre one play away from being a starter. So those guys buy into their role.The chances the next man up will be a returning starter when Penn State travels to play Rutgers (2-8, 0-7 Big Ten) on Saturday are unknown.Franklin said its too early in the week to know McGoverns status or if hell responded well enough to treatments to play. Mahon suffered an apparent leg injury against Iowa and did not return to that game. The athletic department confirmed he was taken to the hospital last Tuesday and was in stable condition then. Franklin hasnt given specifics on Mahons condition in any of his last three meetings with reporters but did not rule out his return to the lineup.We have all week long to figure that out, Franklin said. Obviously, it also helps with it being an 8 p.m. night game on the front end.---More AP college football: https://collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
