“That’s a good way to win a game. Third down is big. It’s a money down. You get off the field and the defense is good. Offensively, third down is big. He threw the ball well on third down. In order to win game, especially playoff games, you need to get off the field on third down.” — Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly

“Russell Wilson was awesome, especially on third down, whether it was scrambling or buying time and hitting guys on passes. He’s one of the top quarterbacks for a reason.” — Panthers safety Roman Harper
