Bill Barnwell:

4. Carolina (6-0)

It speaks to how good this Panthers defense is that Cam Newton could throw three interceptions on 24 attempts and not ever make the Panthers feel like they were in serious danger of losing. I guess the closest that Philly came during the second half was when Caleb Sturgis pulled a 50-yard field goal, but even that would have just brought the Eagles within two at 21-19 with 12:02 to go.

The Carolina offensive line, much maligned by myself and many others before the season, also deserves a lot of credit for what it’s been able to accomplish this year, especially in terms of its run blocking. Philadelphia came into this game second in the league in rush defense DVOA, and even while Carolina’s passing game was struggling, the Panthers ran all over the Eagles. The Panthers carried the ball 33 times for 204 yards, including a 43-yard end-around to Ted Ginn to set up Carolina’s second touchdown of the game.
