CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Luke Kuechly knows Carolinas defence didnt have much bite earlier in the season.He said that made Saturday all the more special.The Panthers held Arizona to 78 yards and forced three turnovers in a 27-16 win, the franchises first post-season victory in nine years. Its the fewest yards ever allowed in an NFL post-season game.We know who we are — menacing, stifling and we are going to get after you, cornerback Josh Norman said. We know when there is blood in the water and when there is, our sharks are going to eat.The Panthers (8-8-1) held Arizona to 12 yards in the second half, intercepted Ryan Lindley twice and sacked him four times in a dominating performance.Carolinas defence has undergone a remarkable turnaround this season, going from 27th in the league in Week 7 to 10th entering the playoffs.And the Panthers only seem to be getting better by the week.We had a lot of new guys early on who had to get accustomed to each other, said Kuechly, the All-Pro middle linebacker who had a game-high 10 tackles and a key interception. Now were all together and communicating — and thats huge.The New York Giants held the previous NFL record for fewest yards in a post-season game, limiting Cleveland to 86 yards on Dec. 21, 1958.Cam Newton overcame two turnovers and threw for 198 yards and two touchdowns and Jonathan Stewart ran for 123 yards and a score on a rain-soaked afternoon.The Panthers had 386 yards.Newton was quick to deflect attention to his defensive teammates after his first career playoff win, calling their performance lights out.When those guys play like that, it makes it easier on us on our part, Newton said. Those guys did everything, turnovers, they stopped them. That is championship football right there and weve got to do our part offensively to put points up on the board.The Panthers will play at top-seeded Seattle next weekend if Dallas beats Detroit on Sunday. If the Lions win, the Panthers play at Green Bay.It appeared the Panthers wouldnt get the yardage record, but Arizona began lateraling the ball around the field on the final play and lost 19 yards.It was a fitting end to the Cardinals offensive ineptitude.Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis, the only player remaining from the last Carolina team that won a playoff game, called it the most dominating defensive performance hes ever been around.Our coaches did a great job and when they lined up in their formations we knew exactly what to expect, Davis said. We just ran to the ball and made plays.After a 9-1 start, Arizonas once promising season was undone by a rash of injuries, including to quarterbacks Carson Palmer and Drew Stanton.Lindley simply wasnt up to the task of leading a playoff team.Trailing 27-14, Arizona recovered a Newton fumble and returned to the Carolina 8. But with a chance to get his team back on the game, Lindley fired over the middle but was intercepted by Kuechly, essentially sealing the Carolina win with 11:48 left in the game.Arizona coach Bruce Arians refused to pin the blame on his young quarterback.I thought he did great up until the first interception, Arians said. He managed the game as well as he could. We didnt do a good job of putting ourselves in manageable third downs. But we got the big break and he tried to force one in that should have never been thrown.The Cardinals finished the season 11-6, but lost five of their final seven games.As a team, we always fought, defensive tackle Frostee Rucker said. It was always the next man up. At some point, we just didnt have anything left. Everyone should hold their heads high. Every person gave it their all, this whole season, win or loss.Trailing by one at halftime the Panthers scored two touchdowns in a span of 1 minute, 32 seconds late in the third quarter to take control.Rookie running back Fozzy Whittaker caught a pass in the flat from Newton, reversed fields and got a key block from Kelvin Benjamin to spring him for a 39-yard touchdown.On the ensuing kickoff, Melvin White stripped returner Ted Ginn Jr., a former Panther, at the Arizona 3 and Kevin Reddick recovered for Carolina. A pass interference penalty on Tony Jefferson on third down gave Carolina a new set of downs, and Newton took advantage. He found wide-open fullback Mike Tolbert in the left flat for a 1-yard touchdown and a 27-14 lead.Carolina outgained Arizona 208-65 in the first half, but entered the locker room trailing 14-13 after two costly turnovers led to two Cardinals touchdowns.NOTES: Panthers rookie wide receiver Philly Brown left with a shoulder injury and did not return. ... Charles Johnson had two sacks for the Panthers. ... Arizona had 27 yards rushing on 15 carries.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Vapormax Plus Cheap .Steamboat Ski Resort contends Steamboat Springs, Colorado has long been known as Ski Town, U.S.A., and claims in a new lawsuit that Salt Lake tourism officials violated their trademark when they rolled out the Ski City marketing campaign last month.

According to the Major League Soccer Players Union, Martins made slightly more than $1.75 million in guaranteed compensation this past season with Seattle as a designated player.Martins is among the favourites for league MVP after scoring a franchise-record 17 goals and adding 13 assists as Seattle finished with the best record in the league and won the Supporters Shield for the first time in club history. Martins assisted on the game-winning goal in Seattles 2-0 win over Los Angeles last weekend that clinched the regular-season title.Oba has been an integral part of our team on and off the field, and has established himself as one of the premier players in MLS, Seattle general manager Adrian Hanauer said in a statemment.ddddddddddddHe was a monumental signing when he first joined us last season, and we are thrilled that he will continue his career with Sounders FC.Martins, who turned 30 on Tuesday, came to Seattle from Spanish club Levante.

He had two goals and two assists in a 4-2 win at Portland in August. He recorded two assists on Oct. 19 when Seattle rallied from a 2-0 deficit for a 2-2 tie at Los Angeles, and then capped his standout regular season assisting on Marco Pappas first goal in last Saturdays win over the Galaxy.
