Run Cam Run

Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is just 27 yards away from passing Randall Cunningham for second in all-time rushing yards by a quarterback. In order for Carolina to win on Sunday, he needs to break this record.

The Giants have allowed 122 rushing yards to opposing quarterbacks this season in four games, including a negative effort from Saints pocket passer Drew Brees. Their defense struggles to contain scrambling quarterbacks and Newton is among the best in the business.

For the Panthers to be successful, a few designed runs shuffled in between Newton making magic happen on his own will help put Carolina on top during the contest.
