"Superman! That is to say, how frequently do you get the opportunity to play against a superhuman? His moniker sort of represents himself," Baltimore linebacker Terrell Suggs said. "He's unquestionably going to be hard to cut down, yet ideally neither one of us needs to do it independent from anyone else."
Newton go for 269 yards and a couple of touchdowns and scrambled for 49 yards on seven conveys to rally the Panthers from a 17-0 deficiency in the last 15 minutes against the Eagles. He tossed for 201 yards in the final quarter alone as Carolina went to a pick up the pace offense.
"When you get a mood, it truly helps," said Rivera of the up-rhythm pace. "Do we have to take a gander at it? Unquestionably. I don't imagine that will drive what we do as an offense."
Olsen had just two gets in his second amusement once more from a cracked foot, yet his essence could open things up for wide beneficiary Devin Funchess, who has a touchdown gathering in three of the previous four recreations.
Baltimore surrendered 17-final quarter focuses to Drew Brees and the Saints, yet permits the least yards (280.6) and least focuses (14.4) in the alliance.

"They work to perfection of getting him out there as a sprinter," said Baltimore head mentor John Harbaugh. "He runs the ball - he'll slide periodically - yet more often than not he's low on his shoulder and endeavoring to get first downs, notwithstanding blocking. That is to say, he's down there at times after he gives it on a portion of that stuff, if he's down there tossing squares.
"In any case, I figure he's ensured well. He does that, so I don't know how that functions. (He is an) exceptionally physical player, extreme to bring down in the pocket, only a genuine physical person as a quarterback."
Newton has driven the group in surging in every one of the previous two recreations. Pumas running back Christian McCaffery has only 15 conveys joined in those diversion recreations, despite the fact that he has 13 gatherings in that range and a group driving 40 on the season.
Baltimore's ground diversion additionally is battling. Driving rusher Alex Collins has split 60 yards just once and will go up against a forceful Carolina run guard that is permitting 95 yards for every amusement.

"We comprehend we're conflicting with a decent football group, however we believe in what we're doing and what our barrier is doing," Flacco said. "Along these lines, we simply need to hold our foot down on the pedal and only sort of (take it) one play at any given moment, secured, and that is everyone. I think whether we do that, at that point we'll constrain each one of those odds."
Baltimore is tied with Cincinnati for second place in the AFC North, one-half diversion behind Pittsburgh. Carolina sits one amusement behind the lead position New Orleans in the NFC North and needs to expand on the energy of a week ago's rebound.
"It's about who you play straightaway and how you play against them," Rivera said. "However, once more, I believe it's an opportunity to make a major stride."
