It was a perfect game for the Carolina Panthers last Sunday as they improved to 13–0 this 2015 National Football League (NFL) regular season when they dominated the struggling Atlanta Falcons at home, 38–0.
Franchise quarterback Cam Newton shone in the victory, completing 15-of-21 passes for 265 yards and three touchdowns, with no interceptions but was sacked twice.
The Panthers scored their first touchdown in the first quarter when running back Jonathan Stewart ran for a one-yard score.
Carolina's scoring did not stop there as Newton, together with wide receiver Tedd Ginn Jr., struck twice in the opening quarter for their second and third touchdowns.
Newton first connected with Ginn with a 74-yard pass, which was followed by a 46-yard pass with time running out in the first quarter.
Heading to the second quarter with a 21–0 advantage, Newton and the Panthers kept the touchdowns coming in the period as he found tight end Ed Dickson for a four yard score as time was winding down.
In the third quarter, Carolina's offense still worked even without Newton recording another touchdown pass.
Up 28–0, placekicker Graham Gano scored a field goal to increase the lead 31–0 and running back Fozzy Whittaker rushed for a 16-yard touchdown to set the final score at 38–0.
Following the game, the Panthers celebrated the victory with a dab, which is Newton's new celebratory routine.
Newton thanked the fans following the win and said, according to the Associated Press, "I believe that right now, it's our moment as Panthers. We try to seize it as much as possible just to give the fans notoriety. We wouldn't be in this situation without them."
Carolina is the only remaining undefeated team in the NFL this regular season and with its immaculate record will seal the National Football Conference (NFC) South.
The Panthers will aim to keep the streak alive when they play against the New York Giants this Sunday for Week 15 action.
