HARDY EFFORT: Rookie defensive end Greg Hardy's late-game antics didn't make the difference between winning and losing, but Hardy made the type of plays that could make the difference down the line.

Hardy blocked a punt for a safety to account for the Panthers' lone second-half points, and he forced an Ahmad Bradshaw fumble in the red zone late to keep the score respectable.

"The game wasn't over," Hardy said. "We had a lot of life left in us, and I was trying to get out there and show it."

Had Hardy's punt block turned out a little differently, it could have changed the outcome. The Panthers looked to be done, down 31-16 with four minutes left, when Hardy came around the end and blocked Matt Dodge's punt near the 20-yard line. He blocked it too well, sending it bounding 30 yards out of the back of the end zone.

Had the Panthers been able to recover it in the end zone for a touchdown, it suddenly would have been a one-possession game
