Panthers Hold Off Patriot on Final Play for a win

Cam Newton threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Ted Ginn Jr. with 59 seconds left, and the Carolina Panthers held off the visiting New England Patriots, 24-20, on Monday night for their sixth straight victory.

Stephen Gostkowski’s 26-yard field goal put the Patriots ahead, 20-17, before Newton drove Carolina 83 yards on 13 plays for the go-ahead touchdown.

Tom Brady did not go down without a fight. With 59 seconds and three timeouts to work with, he drove the Patriots to the Carolina 18. But he was intercepted in the end zone by safety Robert Lester as time expired.

Officials initially threw a flag on the play, apparently for pass interference, but then waved it off.

Newton completed 19 of 28 passes for 209 yards and 3 touchdowns.
Carolina entered the night as the N.F.L.’s No. 1 defense and did not disappoint early, sacking Brady twice and holding tight end Rob Gronkowski to one catch for 14 yards in the opening half.
