CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Maybe all the Carolina Panthers needed was to play someone other than the Denver Broncos.The leagues top-scoring offense from a year ago returned to form Sunday. Cam Newton threw for 353 yards and four touchdowns, and the Panthers overcame four turnovers to beat the San Francisco 49ers 46-27 in their home opener. The Panthers racked up 529 yards on offense.Carolina lost to Denver in the Super Bowl and again in a rematch in Week 1, combining to score 30 points in those games. The Panthers averaged 31.3 points per game last season.Newton threw two TD passes to Kelvin Benjamin and one each to Greg Olsen and Devin Funchess to pass Jake Delhomme for most TD passes in franchise history with 122.Newton showed no ill effects from the four helmet-to-helmet hits he took in Carolinas season-opening loss to Denver. He took one shot to the head from linebacker Eli Harold late in the game after a pitchout on an option play, but quickly got to his feet.Its one of things those things where the momentum sways the play calling, Panthers coach Ron Rivera said. This game we were able to run the ball and it opened some things up. Last week (against Denver) we needed Cam to open some things up. Cam will play his role for us. This was an example of being able to keep him out of the running game for the most part.Newtons first pass was tipped and intercepted by Antoine Bethea, leading to a 49ers field goal. But the 2015 league MVP locked in after that, completing 24 of 40 passes while running for 37 yards on six carries.Olsen gave the Panthers (1-1) the lead for good in the second quarter when he hauled in a career-long 78-yard touchdown pass from Newton after the 49ers bit hard on play-action. That left the Pro Bowl tight end wide open on a seam route. Olsen finished with five catches for 122 yards.Benjamin, who missed last season with a torn ACL, finished with seven catches for 108 yards and has three TD catches on the season.Most of the DBs that were on me were small and I was able to jump and get the ball, Benjamin said.Bethea said the 49ers (1-1) didnt play up to par after their 28-0 performance against the Rams last week.We didnt do a great job of getting off the field on third down, Bethea said. And were going up against a very good offense. We can tackle better, too, but everything is correctable.WHAT WAS THAT?: The Panthers won despite the four turnovers, including one colossal mistake by returner Ted Ginn Jr., who failed to pick up the ball on a kickoff return. After Ginn bobbled the ball twice, the 49ers recovered at the 1-yard line and scored on the next play.FOZZY BEAR ON THE RUN: Despite losing running back Jonathan Stewart (hamstring) in the first quarter, the Panthers had no problems moving the ball against a defense that was riding high following a 28-0 win over the Rams in the season opener.Fozzy Whittaker ran for 100 yards on 16 carries and had three catches for 31 yards.Rivera said he has concerns about Stewart moving forward, but that second-year back Cameron Artis-Payne is ready for action. Artis-Payne has been inactive the last two games.GABBERTS DAY: Blaine Gabbert threw for 243 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another score in the loss. Gabbert pulled the 49ers within 34-27 late with a 75-yard touchdown pass to Vance McDonald, but threw two interceptions in the games final five minutes.FIRST TOUCHDOWN: Panthers linebacker Shaq Thompson scored his first career touchdown when he scooped up Carlos Hydes fumble and returned it 9 yards to give Carolina a 7-3 lead.INJURY UPDATE49ers: Linebacker Ray-Ray Armstrong left in the second half with a shoulder injury.Panthers: Stewart was limited to 9 yards rushing on five carries when he went down in the first quarter.BY THE NUMBERSNewton reached 121 career TD passes in 2,480 attempts, while Delhomme had 120 in 2,669 attempts.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Womens Nike Shox Clearance .ca look back at each of the Top 10 stories of 2013.

If experience counts in finals footy then Gold Coast may as well not turn up for Fridays elimination clash with Brisbane.The Titans head up the Pacific Motorway for their first finals appearance in six years with an accumulated 30 finals matches across their starting 13 with Chris McQueen the only premiership winner in their team.Brisbane, last years grand finalists, boast 124 finals across their starting lineup with Darius Boyd, Sam Thaiday, Corey Parker having all won premierships.Adam Blair has also tasted grand final success as a member of the 2009 Melbourne team which would later have their premiership win stripped for salary cap breaches.The Titans boast four players making their finals debut in Konrad Hurrell, Nene MacDonald, Ashley Taylor and Ryan James while only two of Brisbanes starting 13 - centres Tom Opacic and James Roberts - are new to finals football.Veteran backrower Thaiday doesnt however buy into the argument the Titans are lambs heading to a Suncorp Stadium slaughter.Yeah we made the grand final last year, weve got the 13 players ffrom that (game) playing again now but weve got some young guys in our team that dont have that semi-final experience, Thaiday told AAP.ddddddddddddAnything can happen in semi-finals. Everyones playing to get through to the next week.Im sure theyre going to bring their best brand of footy all year because they want to rub peoples face in it, the ones who doubted them.Thaiday is also backing Roberts, who established himself as a rising star of the game last year at Gold Coast before a bungled contract resulted in a move to the Broncos.The 23-year-old also recently copped a $20,000 fine and has been ordered to undertake community service after two separate drunken incidents at Brisbane nightspots.Jimmys one of those players thats pretty chilled and pretty laidback, Thaiday said.It wont faze him too much coming up against the Titans.Hell enjoy the challenge like he does every week and go out there and do a job for the Broncos.
