  • It’s still hard to believe Cam Newton played every snap.
  • Ron Rivera certainly was serious about trying to get a ‘rhythm’ going. Newton, the entire offensive line and Greg Olsen didn’t miss a snap, and Kelvin Benjamin played more than he has all season.
  • DeAngelo Williams started, but he was in for seven fewer plays than Jonathan Stewart. Since they’ll continue to split carries, who starts doesn’t matter all that much, but a switch is overdue.

  • The Eagles didn’t have to raise the volume of their plays much. They had 20 fewer offensive snaps than the Panthers.
  • Josh Norman has gone from playing no defensive snaps in Week 1 to playing every snap in Week 10.
  • Roman Harper is still playing a lot. That speaks volumes about where Tre Boston is at as a rookie.
  • Another reminder about nickel corner being more important than the third linebacker: Colin Jones played 40 more snaps than A.J. Klein.
  • Melvin White started at the No. 2 outside corner spot, but as planned, he shared time with Antoine Cason.
  • Mario Addison had two tackles, Wes Horton had one, Charles Johnson and Kony Ealy had none. The defensive ends did not have a sack nor were they credited with hitting Mark Sanchez even once.
