FOX: “The Rams were super, super explosive on offense. But we were very competitive on defense, so we felt pretty good about everything going into the game. Actually, for three quarters we throttled ‘em pretty good. We had a bit of a lead and then they came roaring back. “There was a...

"You can't beat playing a home playoff game. As a player, it's what you live for," Kuechly told the Hurricanes' official website. "When your fans are as into as these guys are, it's awesome. The fans are just as hungry as the players, and that's what makes it cool." Added McCaffrey: "It's...

This is an intriguing one. As a member of the Seahawks and Raiders, Irvin sacked Newton nine times total, so they’ve got some history. They’re also both Atlanta natives. Irivin entered the league in 2012, a year after Newton, and he’s got plenty of smack-talking experience. In addition to his...

CHARLOTTE – Sometimes less is more. Head coach Ron Rivera believes that to be the case after the Panthers’ annual rookie minicamp wrapped up Saturday morning. Thirty-three players took part in this year’s camp – about 20 fewer than previous versions – and Rivera praised the early returns. “I...

—As he walked out with fellow tryout players Anthoula Kelly and Tyson Graham, cornerback Channing Stribling said, “Let ‘em know we’re the first ones out here.” Done. —Kyle Allen and Will Grier weren’t far behind that first group. The quarterbacks walked out together, and it was nice to see...

Friday, in his practice debut in a Panthers uniform, Grier was working with - and technically behind – Allen. As the relative veteran at the position, Allen was up first for each drill during the rain-soaked morning session. “Kyle knows what we’re doing, and that will help Will as far as him...
