Manning won MVP after the first game of the season, barring injury. OPOY maybe? Cam vs Breezus vs Megatron vs Jamaal Charles right now is what I'd say.

mvp is highly unlikely, but if his second half the season looks anything like tonight's game, all bets are off.

The Carolina Panthers' biggest nationally televised game since their January 2009 divisional-round loss to the Arizona Cardinals turned out to be the NFL's showcase of the year -- a riveting 24-20 victory over the New England Patriots.

The playoff picture

Both teams moved the ball up and down the field in a low-scoring first half, but the intensity didn't reach peak playoff level until Cam Newton and Tom Brady started trading body blows in a heavyweight bout that went down to the waning seconds of the 15th round.

Although Newton's back-to-back wins over the Vikings and Rams in Weeks 5 and 6 generated higher passer ratings, this easily was the most impressive performance of his career. With the entire country scrutinizing his every move, Newton pulled several great escapes, answered Brady's second-half magic and led the three most impressive touchdown drives of the season.

When the final bell was rung, Newton had produced his third NFL game with at least three touchdown passes and 60-plus rushing yards. Since Newton entered the league, Robert Griffin III is the only other quarterback to pull off that feat.

 

 

Newton arrived on the scene three years ago as a physical marvel with a unique skill set, capable of dominance but prone to stretches of inconsistency. The story remains the same on that note. After consecutive wins against the powerhouse 49ers and Patriots, though, critics no longer can charge that he piles up stats while failing to lead his team to victory.

The Panthers have won six consecutive games for the first time since 2005. After starting his career 7-14 in his first 21 games, Newton has directed his team to a 13-8 record in his last 21.

Since early December of last season, just the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos boast a better record than Newton's Panthers.

After entering this month as an enigma, Newton will finish it by entering the discussion of MVP alternatives to Peyton Manning.
