NEW ORLEANS
(AP) -- Cam Newton passed for five touchdowns, capped by a 15-yard
scoring strike to Jerricho Cotchery with 1:05 to go, and the unbeaten
Carolina Panthers clinched the NFC South with a 41-38 victory over the
New Orleans Saints.
Carolina, the only remaining unbeaten team in the NFL, has the ninth 12-0 start in league history.
Newton,
who was 28 of 41 for 331 yards, twice had to lead the Panthers back
from fourth-quarter deficits as the Saints (4-8) tried desperately to
avoid a four-game losing streak. Jonathan Stewart had a 5-yard scoring
run on a pitch from Newton.
Drew Brees passed
for 282 yards and three touchdowns. Saints linebacker Stephone Anthony
returned a fumble 31 yards for a score and also became the first NFL
player to return a blocked extra-point kick for 2 points in NFL history.
