The Panthers defeated the Vikings 31-24 to vault themselves back into mix for a top seed in the NFC playoffs and show exactly how their defensive line can alter the outcome of a game with Addison, Peppers, Short and Love accounting for eight tackles, five sacks and a forced fumble. Cam Newton showed some of his Superman tendencies with his second 60-yard rush of the season and Jonathan Stewart rushed for 103 yards and three scores to pace the Panthers ground game.
