CHARLOTTE, N. http://www.atleticomadridpro.com/Kids-Nikola-Kalinic-Jersey/ .C. -- Cam Newton tried to tell everyone who would listen last week that the Carolina Panthers were much better than an 0-2 team. He and his teammates went out and proved it. Newton threw three touchdown passes and ran for another, and Carolina sacked Eli Manning seven times as the Panthers handed Tom Coughlin his worst defeat as coach of the New York Giants, 38-0 on Sunday. The Panthers posted the most lopsided victory in franchise history, helping to eliminate questions about coach Ron Riveras job security entering the teams bye week. "I told a couple of guys we were past due for a win like this," Newton said. "A win like this boosts our ego and gives us that swagger we need." Carolinas previous best rout was a 34-0 win over Kansas City in 2008. This one couldnt have come at a better time for Rivera, especially after his team squandered fourth-quarter leads to Seattle and Buffalo. That dropped his record to 2-14 in games decided by seven points or fewer and raised speculation about his job. "We allowed Coach, as people say, to survive another week," Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith said. Defensive end Greg Hardy, who tied a career-high with three sacks in the first half, said if Rivera was feeling pressure to win he never let on to his players at practice. "He basically came out and said, You know what, (to heck with) me, Im here for you guys," Hardy said. "He said, This is what were going to do. Were going to win because we are a team not because of any of that. It makes you want to play 10 times harder for him." The Giants have plenty of concerns as they prepare for next Sundays game against unbeaten Kansas City. Of the 161 teams that have started the season 0-3 since 1978, only five made the NFL playoffs, according to STATS. A terse Coughlin said after the game "Disappointed isnt a strong enough word. I expected more." The Giants offensive line appears to be a mess. New York came in with only 73 yards rushing in its first two games and managed just 60 yards Sunday, 40 coming after the Giants trailed 31-0. Manning was under pressure all day and finished 12 of 23 for 119 yards with two interceptions. He couldnt take advantage of an injury-depleted secondary. The seven sacks tied a Carolina franchise record. "We didnt give ourselves a chance to go after that chopped-up secondary because they did an outstanding job up front," Coughlin said. "They ended up with seven sacks, and our quarterback must have gotten hit 20 times." Manning was also searching for answers. "We have to find ways to slow down the pass rush," he said. "Whether that is running the ball with screens or getting the ball out quicker." The Panthers set the tone early, sacking Manning five times in the first quarter. They limited the Giants to 18 total yards -- and just 1 yard passing -- in the first half and took a 17-0 lead to the locker room. The Panthers offence, feeding off the defence, finally got things rolling. Offensive co-ordinator Mike Shula allowed Newton to run out of the read option, which helped open up an offence that had been mostly stagnant this season. Newton had 223 yards passing and threw two touchdown passes to Brandon LaFell and one to Ted Ginn Jr. He ran for 45 yards and his first TD of the season. DeAngelo Williams ran for 120 yards on 23 carries. The Panthers turned to a read-option on their second possession, something they used frequently the last two seasons but havent gone to much this year. Newton ran four times for 40 yards on the drive, with fullback Mike Tolbert scoring on a 2-yard run. Newton said that was designed to neutralize defensive end Jason Pierre-Pauls pass rush. "The game plan was to attack and nuke his aggressiveness and turn it into his curse," Newton said. The Panthers pushed their lead to 17-0 at the break on a 53-yard field goal by Graham Gano and a 16-yard touchdown pass from Newton to LaFell with 12 seconds left in the half. The Panthers kept the gas pedal down in the second half, putting the game away by scoring on its first two possessions of the third quarter as Newton connected on a 20-yard strike to LaFell and then scored a quarterback draw. Newton later connected on a 47-yard TD pass with Ginn. Newton said after two close losses, the Panthers didnt want to leave any doubt about this one after halftime.

As the schedule flipped from November to December, they would go on to drop five straight, falling six games below the .500 mark before a franchise-altering trade turned them into an unrecognizable team.

A last-minute leveler ensured the two-time defending champion remained nine points ahead of Roma, which drew 0-0 at bitter rival Lazio in the capital derby.TORONTO -- Casey Janssen doesnt have a date circled on his calendar for his return to the Toronto Blue Jays lineup. The Toronto closer is dealing with a left abdominal/lower back problem that sent him to the disabled list March 30, the eve of the Jays season opener. "Its just a day-by-day thing," Janssen said Saturday of his return. He says he plans to push as hard as he can go, but does not want to set a rigid timeline that might lead to disappointment -- or headlines. "We dont want to get ahead of ourselves," he explained. "We dont want to have dates where either I or you (media) guys or anyone else wants to have as a deadline or a certain date, where if I dont make it that day then its breaking news or something like that." Coming after a pre-season that saw him pitch just three innings as he protected his shoulder, it all means that Janssen is a long way off from where he hoped to be. "Im starting to trust it a lot more," he said of the problem oblique muscle. "Im starting to be a lot more active on it. The recovery is quicker, I guess. If Im active on it, within a few hours it (the discomfort) is probably gone. You wake up with a fresh start every day which is nice. "Ive just got to continue to progress. The further we get away from that Montreal date, the healthier its going to get." The Montreal date was the late March finale to the Toronto pre-season. Janssen felt something as he was warming up to go in against the New York Mets, but didnt think it was anything moree than a "tight something. http://www.atleticomadridpro.com/Kids-Antonio-Adan-Jersey/. " "Never did I imagine Id be sitting here in late April having not thrown a pitch," he said. The days after, however, he knew it was something more than tightness. Janssen is slated to throw a bullpen session Sunday, with another planned a few days later. A rehab assignment in the minors will follow. He has already had one of those shut down mid-month when it was determined he needed further rest. "I cant wait to throw (the bullpen session), Im excited," he said. "Hopefully theres no looking back." As frustrated as he is by the inactivity, the 32-year-old right-hander understands patience is needed. "Being in the position where I pitch in a game, youve got to be good," he said. "You dont want to let the team down by figuring it out up here. "So I want to be clicking once I get up here ... At the end of the day, my arms got to be able to bounce back, do the things Im asked to do here and then also have my side tested enough where, the same thing, Im not getting special treatment when Im ready." Janssen, who converted 34-of-36 save opportunities last season. says he only feels the injury occasionally in his day-to-day life. But given the importance of the bodys trunk to throwing, it is like Kryptonite to a pitcher. "Theres no injury thats fun," he said. "This one seems to take lot more time, even when theres no extreme pain." Sergio Santos has assumed the role of closer in Janssens absence.
