Newton was 21-for-34 for 246 yards, and Carolina put up 142 yards on the ground, with Jonathan Stewart gaining 102 yards on 21 carries.

Cousins was 22-for-30 passing for 207 yards and a touchdown, a 56-yard TD pass to DeSean Jackson in the first quarter.

The ‘Skins also got a 99-yard kickoff return TD from Andre Roberts in the first quarter that tied the game at 14 at that time.

Carolina reeled off 30 unanswered points before giving up a late safety in the final seconds.
