CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The divisional matchup on Thursday night cant get here soon enough for the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints.Both NFC South teams suffered heartbreaking losses on bizarre endings Sunday after seemingly having victory within their sights.The Saints appeared ready to apply the knockout punch to the Super Bowl champion Broncos when Justin Simmons leaped over the long snapper and blocked a go-ahead extra point attempt with 1:28 left, and teammate Will Parks scooped it up and raced 84 yards for a decisive 2-point conversion, giving Denver a stunning 25-23 victory .About 725 miles north of New Orleans, the Panthers found their own way to lose a game they should have won. They surrendered a 14-point fourth quarter lead to the Kansas City Chiefs when cornerback Marcus Peters stripped Kelvin Benjamin of the football with 20 seconds left as the Panthers were attempting to drive for the go-ahead score, setting up Cairo Santos winning field goal as time expired.Thats one plus, Panthers coach Ron Rivera said. We dont have to dwell on this for very long and we can start getting focused on the Saints.The Saints (4-4) could have pulled within a game of division-leading Atlanta (6-3), but wasted an opportunity. The Panthers (3-6) had a chance to move into a tie with the Saints and Buccaneers for second place in the division, but instead remain three games back of the Falcons with seven games remaining.What we have done is put our backs completely against the wall, Rivera said. There is no room for error now. What we have to do now is we have to go forward.So do the Saints.Its a blessing so we can get this bad taste out of our mouth, Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan said of playing on a short week.Added quarterback Drew Brees after the loss: All you want to do is get back on the field as fast as you can. Obviously, weve got four days here so its a quick turnaround. Well have a good game plan together, but weve got to lose this one and move on to the next one.The Saints beat the Panthers 41-38 last month when Will Lutz kicked a 52-yard field goal with 11 seconds remaining to end a wild game in which Drew Brees and Cam Newton combined for 787 yards passing and six touchdowns.Theres no need to panic, Newton said Sunday. We have a couple key losses (from the Falcons and Saints), so thats our optimism. When you look at it, whatever our record is, its not good. But yet we have a locker room full of winners and a locker room full of guys thats full of fight still. I know I am willing to go to battle with those guys. I cant wait until Thursday.Rivera said hes expecting his teams best, despite the heartbreaking loss.He has also reminded his team several times that they won the division two years ago with a 7-8-1 record.Theres always going to be excuses, but theres not always going to be opportunities, Rivera said. So wed better start taking advantage of them. Thats the important thing.Rivera he likes that the Panthers dont have travel on a short week giving them a little more preparation time.The truth of the matter is were at home, so its not going to be as hard on us as it will be the Saints, Rivera said.---AP Sports Writer Brett Martel in New Orleans contributed to this report.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLStan Smith Günstig Kaufen . -- The proud fathers huddled near the Dallas Stars dressing room, smiling, laughing and telling stories while wearing replica green sweaters of their sons team.

I think the biggest thing is hes been the backup quarterback for two years. He has game experience and theres value in that. Youve been able to see it already, youre not projecting as much.McSorley will make his first career start at home against Kent State.Its a lot of weight off my shoulders, McSorley said. Over the whole offseason, Tommy and I were pushing each other. This team will be better because of how this competition went with us pushing each other.Both quarterbacks are strong runners, but McSorleys experience gave him the edge.His shiftiness was utilized in practice throughout his tenure as Christian Hackenbergs backup. He usually led the scout team against the top defense, offering a similar look to the opposing running quarterbackks Penn State would play.ddddddddddddAlthough hes played sparingly on Saturdays in that time, McSorley saw meaningful snaps in Penn States bowl game in relief of an injured Hackenberg. Then, McSorley completed 14 of 17 passes for 142 yards and two touchdowns, ran seven times for 31 yards and nearly led a comeback against Georgia.Now, McSorley will try and turn around a unit thats ranked 105th and 114th in total offense the last two seasons. Hell do so in a spread-based offense designed for a mobile quarterback and led by new offensive coordinator Joe Moorhead.I think the best thing about the way he runs the ball is hes savvy, linebacker Jason Cabinda said. He sets up his cuts. You play a guy whos a statue in the pocket and you cover well, he gets sacked. Now we have another element. Not only do you have to worry about covering guys, but when that four or five seconds is up theres that option of scrambling, another aspect of the play you have to worry about. ' ' '
