CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)The Panthers Jason Campbell Jersey White escaped with their first victory of theseason Sunday, now they're looking to open up the offense again this weekagainst Chicago.This year's Panthers pride themselves on being an aggressive, downfieldpassing team, one that goes after big chunks of yardage at a time. They readilyadmit the running game is secondary in their minds.But that philosophy got thrown out the window after an unexpected rainstormhit downtown Charlotte during the second quarter of Carolina's 16-10 win overJacksonville, dumping four inches of rain in a 35-minute span and flooding theplaying field.

 "It changed significantly," offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski said ofthe team's game plan. Replica Jason Campbell Jersey "With the torrential downpour and with the field beingwet it was about trying to go to some downhill runs  Shorter passes andscreens work well there, too."The Panthers won, but that isn't necessarily the blueprint they plan to useevery week. This Sunday they'll be looking to open up the offense when theytravel to Chicago to face coach Ron Rivera's old team, the Bears.Quarterback Cam Newton(notes) threw for 422 and 432 yards, respectively, the firsttwo weeks of the season against Arizona and Green Bay, but was limited to 158yards passing by the Jaguars."Anytime with a very explosive offense Louis Murphy Authentic Jersey like this we want to take chunksdownfield," said quarterback Cam Newton. "Due to the conditions we had, wewere very limited with the deep routes (but) we did an excellent job withmanaging the game given what we had to deal with."We were depending a lot on our backs and our line to stick on theirblocks."For the first time all season, the Panthers eclipsed 100 yards rushing,finishing with 107.The Panthers were criticized for not running enough the first two weeks ofthe season, particularly cheap nfl jerseys china in short yardage and goal line situations. But Riveradidn't seem to care, especially since Newton was lighting it up in the passinggame and the team had 52 first downs the first two weeks of the season.On Sunday, Newton was clearly off the mark.Even before the rains hit in the second quarter, he was throwing high andwide, clearly his most erratic performance of the season. He managed to get ittogether late in the game, going 3-for-3 for 31 yards including a 16-yardtouchdown strike to tight end Greg Olsen(notes) to secure his first victory as a pro.Rivera wrote that off to Newton being a rookie."He was at times maybe a little too aggressive but that's what we are goingto get," Rivera said. "That's what the young man is and that's what ouroffense is. We are going to attack downfield."Except, of course, when it's raining like cats and dogs."They were playing that old Panther ball  and that'll get you fired,"wide receiver Steve Smith joked, taking a veiled shot at the conservativerun-first game plan of former Carolina head coach John Fox.Smith, who entered the game leading the NFL in receiving yards with 334, washeld to 15 yards on two catches as passing the football more than 10 or 15 yardsdownfield became an adventure."We come out with a W, that's what counts," Smith said. "We tried to godown the field. Official Jason Campbell Jersey And that was kind of impossible in Permier Jason Campbell Jersey the rain. So you kind of justkeep playing and plugging away."Although Newton struggled with his accuracy throughout Sunday's game coachRon Rivera was ultimately impressed with the way he came through in the clutch,leading a five-play, 55-yard touchdown at the end of the game."Especially with these conditions to be able Jason Campbell Jersey Black to control what we dooffensively and handle the situations and circumstances is huge," Rivera said."The young man is developing and we are going to have days like this. Maybe itwon't be as bad but we most certainly will have days where we aren't making theplays we want to make."Smith, for one, is anxious for things to return to normal."Now we can go back to Authentic Jason Campbell Jersey Black throwing the football," the receiver said with awide smile.NOTES: Rivera said he expects all 53 players on the roster will practiceWednesday including Authentic Louis Murphy Jersey cornerback Chris Gamble(notes), who left Sunday's game with a mildconcussion.

 As good as the Packers' defense was in Green Bay's 27-17 victory over the archrival Bears on Sunday, especially against the run, it remains difficult to remove the offense from center stage three games into the season. League observers agreed, heading into the season, Raiders Jacoby Ford Jersey that an Authentic Darren McFadden Jersey Black even more potent attack could be established in 2011 with TE Jermichael Finley(notes) and RB Ryan Grant(notes) returning from injuries that knocked them out of the mix for much of last season. In Week One on a national stage against the Saints, the Packers' offense immediately confirmed that consensus, seemingly moving downfield at will with QB Aaron Darren McFadden Jersey Black Rodgers(notes) masterfully directing traffic, looking like Isiah Thomas in cleats.Fast-forward to the offense's first possession Sunday against the Bears, when the first four plays produced four first downs, starting with a 13-yard scamper by Grant over right tackle out of the shotgun and following up with three short passes to No. 1 WR Greg Jennings(notes) for 12, 19 and 11 yards. Rodgers dodged a bullet when his deep pass to Jennings was intercepted by Bears CB Charles Tillman(notes), only to be nullified by an offside call on Bears OLB Lance Briggs(notes). With new life, Rodgers continued to move the ball downfield until he found Finley in the endzone for the first of his three touchdowns.The PFW Spin  

In defense of opting to praise the offense instead of a defense that definitely came to play Sunday, it just seems hard to get past the fact that, at the end of the day, it's the Rodgers-led offense that will be the key behind a potential return to the Super Bowl in what has never seemed more like a QB-driven league. Watching this offense in the early going has been like Authentic Jacoby Ford Jersey watching poetry in motion, with Rodgers using everybody at his disposal.Unlike last season at this time, when Finley was considered the ultimate go-to-guy, Jennings and Finley are equally wreaking havoc. While Finley was looking like a man against boys, scoring three touchdowns for the first time at any level against the Bears, Jennings was also having his way, catching nine of the 10 passes thrown in his direction Darren McFadden Jersey White for a team-high 119 yards.But we're hardly talking about a two-trick pony here. Lurking slightly under the radar, capable of exploding for big cheap nfl jerseys china plays at a moment's notice, are Jordy Nelson(notes), who has quietly become one of Official Jacoby Ford Jersey the league's more productive receivers dating back to the Packers' Week 16 win over the Giants last year (including playoff games); 36-year-old veteran Donald Driver(notes); and James Jones(notes), who showed how good his hands are with one particularly impressive lunging grab among his four catches on the Jacoby Ford Authentic Jersey day.All Rodgers has to do is pick his poison and let the bullets fly, many of which have been back-shoulder Darren McFadden Jersey Womens beauties that are almost impossible to defend.What's different this year than last is a double-barreled ground game featuring Grant and James Starks(notes) that was operating on all cylinders Sunday against the Bears' cover-2, picking up huge chunks of yardage in the second half. In this game, Grant, who had previously been overshadowed by Starks, took the bull by the horns, bulldozing for 92 yards on 17 carries.Who will be the big guns this coming Sunday against the Broncos? Jennings or Finley through the air? Grant or Starks on the ground?Only Rodgers and head coach Mike McCarthy know for sure, as they orchestrate an offense that just might prove to be unstoppable — even if the defense shows some chinks in the armor every now and then.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP)Tampa Bay safety Cody Grimm(notes) has an injured right knee andlikely will be replaced in the lineup by backup Corey Lynch(notes).Coach Raheem Morris said Monday that the team was awaiting results of testsand would not speculate on how long the second-year pro will be sidelined.Although Morris said Lynch will compete in practice Raiders Jason Campbell Jersey with Larry Asante(notes) to beGrimm's Replica Jacoby Ford Jersey replacement, the sixth-year pro played most of the second half ofSunday's 16-13 victory over Atlanta and started five games in Grimm's absencelast season.

Grimm was hurt while he and linebacker Geno Hayes(notes) were stopping Atlanta'sMichael Turner(notes) for a 1-yard gain with help from other defenders who converged onthe pile. Hayes suffered a concussion on the play and will undergo aNFL-mandated battery of tests to help determine his status for next Mondaynight's game against the Indianapolis Authentic Jason Campbell Jersey Colts.Grimm, the son of Hall of Famer and Arizona Cardinals assistant head coachRuss Grimm, was a seventh-round draft pick in 2010. He became a starter early inhis rookie year, when Tanard Jackson(notes) was suspended a minimum of a year forviolating the NFL substance abuse policy."We don't Permier Jacoby Ford Jersey know the extent" of the damage to Grimm's knee, Morris said,answering a question about whether the safety is out for the season. "We haveto get the MRI. I know his MCL was messed up, and he's got some other stuff thatwe're checking on right know. So, it may not be for the year. We're not sure ofthat yet."Grimm started 11 games as a rookie before suffering a season-ending leginjury against Baltimore. Jason Campbell Authentic Jersey He cheap nfl jerseys china was not available for comment on Monday but saidafter the game that he wasn't sure how he was hurt."It just took a shot to the knee. I was kind of on Turner's back. I don'tknow exactly who hit me, but I felt it hit pretty hard," Grimm said."It stinks. Wrong place at the wrong time," he added. "We'll see.Hopefully it's nothing too big and I'll be able to come back by the end of theyear."Lynch moved into a starting role after Grimm's season-ending leg injury inlate November. The fourth-year pro has one interception in three seasons withthe Bucs."We feel great about the way he finished the game for us Authentic Jacoby Ford Jersey Black (Sunday)," Morrissaid. "But we also have Larry Asante.  You know me, I'll play either one ofthem or both."Lynch wished Grimm a speedy recovery, while also saying he's excited aboutthe opportunity to step up."That's kind of been what what I've Jacoby Ford Jersey White done last season and this season," hesaid, adding that reverting to a role as a backup this season had not shaken hisconfidence. "I'm ready to go."ARLINGTON, Texas (AP)Cowboys Jacoby Ford Jersey Black quarterback Tony Romo(notes) is set to play withhis sore ribs.Romo threw lightly on the field about two hours before Monday night'skickoff against Washington and was on the active roster for the game releasedabout a half-hour later.                                                                                                                                                            While receiver Miles Austin(notes) (hamstring) was inactive as expected, Dez Bryant(notes)(bruised thigh) was back after missing last week's game at San Francisco, thesame game Romo was hurt.
