6 huge winners from Carolina Panthers’ win at the Cardinals in Week 10
By Jason Huber
Zane Gonzalez – Carolina Panthers K
It was a great revenge game for kicker Zane Gonzalez.
Gonzalez, who played at Arizona State, spent the past three years with the Arizona Cardinals before being cut this offseason and he did everything he could in this game to make them regret it.
The kicker went four-for-four on field goal attempts and nailed both of his extra points. Three of his four strikes were between 40-49 yards.
Remember when the Carolina Panthers had a big kicker problem?
Yeah, that’s not the case anymore.
Gonzalez has made 16-straight field goals and is money every time he lines up for a kick. Although the shelf-life of a kicker is normally short, the Panthers have already seen enough to know that a longer-term commitment should be made when the time comes next spring.
The former seventh-round pick not only helped the Panthers win the game but he surely headed home with a smile on his face that he did it against his former team. And there is no better feeling than that.
