LOS ANGELES -- Other than Thomas Davis spectacular leap for an interception , the Carolina Panthers struggled to recall many highlights from their latest win.They still think its exactly what they needed if they want any hope of getting back to the Super Bowl.Cam Newton persevered through five sacks to pass for 225 yards and a touchdown, and the Panthers defense shut down Los Angeles in a 13-10 victory over the slumping Rams on Sunday.With two straight wins after a four-game skid, the Panthers (3-5) are showing signs of contention -- at least on the defensive end. They held the Rams scoreless for three quarters and without a touchdown for 59 minutes, hanging on to claim a defense-dominated day at the Coliseum.Were in a position right now where every win is pretty big for us, said Greg Olsen, who scored Carolinas only touchdown on a first-quarter reception.We put ourselves in a little bit of a hole, and the only way to really get ourselves out is to just climb out one (win) at a time, he added. We come out here (to the) West Coast against a team that we knew was pretty dynamic on defense, so to come away with a win was big for us.Graham Gano added two fourth-quarter field goals for the Panthers, whose offense managed just 244 yards against the Rams vaunted defense. Newton only shrugged.Ive never heard of a pretty loss, Newton said. Theyre very stingy, and we knew that coming in.Newton went 20 for 32 and took his share of big hits again after his complaints about the NFLs commitment to player safety dominated headlines last week. The star quarterback spoke with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to voice his worries.Newton went down from a violent sack by Mark Barron in the third quarter, and he was downed for two important sacks by star defensive lineman Aaron Donald. The star QB saw nothing worth complaining about afterward.Not worried about that, Newton said when asked if the referees had done a good job keeping quarterbacks safe. Just trying to find ways to win football games.In their franchises first game in Los Angeles, the Panthers found a way with defense. After Olsen scored Carolinas only touchdown on a 9-yard catch in the first quarter, coach Ron Riveras group kept the Rams off the scoreboard until the final 8:01, and Los Angeles rally fell well short.Thats my kind of football, Rivera said. I really like the style were playing.Case Keenum passed for 296 yards for the Rams (3-5), who have lost four straight after a strong start to their homecoming season. Los Angeles scoreless streak reached 102 minutes, 12 seconds before Greg Zuerleins 25-yard field goal.Kenny Britt then made a 10-yard touchdown catch with 34 seconds to play, but Zuerlein curiously quick-kicked the kickoff far down the field, essentially ending the game.Enough is enough, Rams guard Rodger Saffold said. We know we have to score touchdowns. The defense is out there playing a great game.HONEYMOON OVERThe Coliseum crowd booed the Rams offense repeatedly and chanted We want Goff! during the first half of another dispiriting offensive performance in the Rams return from their bye week. No. 1 pick Jared Goff remained on the bench even after Keenum threw his eighth interception in four games to Davis, killing a solid drive in the second half.The Rams finally got moving in the fourth, but Lance Kendricks dropped a sure touchdown pass from Keenum at the goal line on third down, forcing a field goal.Keenum went 27 for 46 for the Rams, who hadnt scored a touchdown in 115 minutes, 41 seconds before Britts grab.GONE GURLEYTodd Gurley had 48 yards in another quiet game, although he broke his longest run of the season for 18 yards out of the wildcat in the first half.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Giants kicker Josh Brown says an arrest on a domestic violence charge in May 2015 led to his one-game suspension by the NFL for violating the leagues personal conduct policy.Speaking after practice on Thursday, the 37-year-old Brown said the woman whose wrist he grabbed in Woodinville, Wash. during a disagreement was his wife. He said the couple has since divorced.Brown said the case was dismissed by the King County Prosecutors office five days after his arrest for fourth-degree domestic violence.A spokesman for the prosecutor said in an email to The Associated Press that no charge was filed because of insufficient evidence.Its not something that you want, and like I said, my main concern is my kids, Brown said. Thats the last thing you ever want to be on the internet, that they would read or their friends would read and the way that they would be approached at school and how theyre looked upon. Is it good? No, its not.Brown said he told the Giants immediately after his arrest, and the team informed the league.He was notified of his suspension in June. He appealed because he was not charged, but it was rejected. The league announced the suspension Wednesday.Weve exhausted everything that the NFL allows, said Brown, who didnt know why the league took so long to make its decision. Were not going to do anything else, well take it for what it is, take the one game and move on.Still, Brown didnt agree with either the suspension or the power of Commissioner Roger Goodell.Im uncomfortable with it, but I just want to kick field goals, said the 14-year veteran who scored a career-high 134 points last season. Thats really what it comes down to. Im not the power, Im just here to do this job and help this team in every way that I can and thats what Ive done since Ive been here for four years.Ben McAdoo said he was informed about Browns arrest after being namedd coach in January.dddddddddddd The two have spoken about it.We support the league office in their decision and their stance on personal conduct, McAdoo said. I do support Josh as a man, a father, and a player. We treat these situations on a case by case basis.Brown said the incident with his former wife was a momentary thing.A charge was not filed in the case, Dan Donohoe, a spokesman for the Kings County prosecutors office said in an email. There was a thorough investigation and review of the case, but there was insufficient evidence to prove a case beyond a reasonable doubt.Brown will miss the Giants season opener at Dallas.Im going to spend it with my daughter, he said. Im going to go home and take her to school and be a dad and do the things that I need to do, that I get the opportunity to do because of this. Take that as an opportunity Ive never had as a player, to take my daughter to school on the first day. Im looking forward to that.Free agent kicker Tom Obarski was signed by the Giants in January and has been in training camp. McAdoo said he will get most of the work when the Giants face the Bills in Buffalo on Saturday.He seemed steady, McAdoo said. I like the fact that he is going to have an opportunity, a golden opportunity, to make an impact for himself and this organization.Quarterback Eli Manning hopes the Giants can get along for a week without Brown, who was 32 of 34 on field goals last season.Hopefully we dont have to settle for field goals and we can score touchdowns, he said.Game notes WR Victor Cruz (groin) and G Justin Pugh (shoulder) are making progress, McAdoo said. ...The team will have a 50-minute speed practice on Friday before heading to Buffalo. ... Manning and WR Odell Beckham Jr. will make their preseason debuts Saturday. ' ' '
