CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Staring at a possible three-game losing streak, the Carolina Panthers needed a spark.Cam Newton and the no-huddle offence a€” along with a little help from Chicago Bears kicker Robbie Gould a€” provided just that Sunday.The Panthers took advantage of Goulds missed 35-yard field goal late in the first half and seized the momentum. Newton found his stride working the no-huddle, Carolinas defence forced four turnovers and the Panthers overcome a 14-point deficit to beat the Bears 31-24.Carolina recaptured sole possession of first place in the NFC South.The no-huddle offence has been our edge, said Newton, who threw for 255 yards. It was not panic time, because we have been in these situations before.Newton provided the go-ahead score with 2:18 left on his second touchdown pass to Greg Olsen, helping the Panthers (3-2) snap a two-game slide.The Panthers trailed 21-7 late in the first half and the Bears were looking for more after Newton was intercepted by Lance Briggs. But Chicagos drive stalled and Gould missed wide right.The momentum turned immediately.It was huge, said Olsen, who spent four years with the Bears. We got in the huddle and said, Thats our break. We were waiting for something to bounce our way and that was it. We went right down and bang, bang. ... Cam got in an awesome groove and from that point on he was on fire.Newton capped the drive with a 9-yard pass to Olsen to pull Carolina within 21-14 at halftime. The Panthers stayed with the no-huddle and Newton led a 10-play, 86-yard drive in the third quarter, with Chris Ogbonnaya scoring on a 1-yard run to tie the game.From there, Carolinas defence took over. The Panthers forced three turnovers on Chicagos last three possessions.The biggest came with the game tied at 24 when Antoine Cason stripped Matt Forte of the ball and the Panthers Kawaan Short recovered at Chicagos 23. Six plays later, Newton found Olsen on a slant route for a 6-yard touchdown.The Panthers sealed the win when Short sacked Jay Cutler and Charles Johnson recovered the fumble.It was a big step for Carolinas defence, which allowed 75 points and 908 yards the past two weeks in blowout losses to Pittsburgh and Baltimore.It was a matter of time before we came back, Short said.For the Bears it was a distressing finish considering they appeared to be in control in the first half.Cutler was 28 of 36 for 289 yards with two TDs, but turned the ball over three times for the Bears (2-3). Forte had 61 yards rushing and 105 yards receiving and a touchdown before his costly fumble.There were many opportunities for us to put this one away offensively, Cutler said. We put our defence in a bad place, and I thought they played real well, given the circumstances and field position we put them in. A lot of that is on me.It was also a big day for Newton, who was comfortable running the no-huddle set a€” just as he has most of the season.Hes pretty good at it, Olsen said. Its been good for us this year. Sometimes certain situations dictate that you cant stay in it, but when weve done it weve been pretty successful. When we need a spark we can go to it. And it seems like it does spark us.The Bears scored 14 points off Carolina turnovers to build a 21-7 lead in the first half.Cornerback Isaiah Frey stripped Panthers receiver Kelvin Benjamin of the ball and recovered at the Panthers 28, setting up a 10-yard TD pass from Cutler to Forte.Chicagos Willie Young beat guard Amini Silatolu for a strip-sack fumble on Newton and Lamarr Houston recovered at the Carolina 13 on the next possession. Three plays later Cutler scrambled 10 yards for touchdown.Cutler pushed the lead to 21-7when he beat the Panthers on a cornerback blitz, flipping the ball to the flat where Alshon Jeffery raced around two defenders for a 25-yard catch-and-run touchdown.Ive got to take accountability for our failure to get it done in the second half on all three phases a€” that starts with me, Bears coach Marc Trestman said.NOTES: Newton said he had four wisdom teeth removed earlier this week. ... Panthers cornerback Josh Norman left with a shoulder injury. ... Bears safety Chris Conte left with a concussion. ...

PETERSBURG, Fla.Facing the daunting prospect of going up against two of the Western Conferences top teams without their number one defenceman, Maple Leafs assistant GM Claude Loiselle stressed the importance of having other players step up and play a better team game. ? Speaking on TSN 1050 just hours after the NHL announcement the multiple game ban of Dion Phaneuf, Loiselle noted that the teams inconsistencies on the back-end are due at least in part to not being able to find proper chemistry. “We have not been able to find the right combination,” Losielle said, noting that a mix of three puck-movers and three stay-at-home defenders is a good combo in his mind. According to Loiselle, Torontos blueline has been helped by the arrival of JJohn-Michael Liles, who he says has stepped in after spending 14 games in the AHL – largely because of the Leafs restricted cap situation – and provided steady play.dddddddddddd “He brings a veteran presence back there and a calmness thats helping our defence,” Loiselle said. Loiselle also touched on the Dion Phaneuf contract negotiations saying news that the NHLs salary cap will likely be increased by nearly $7-million in 2014 will help the Leafs “tremendously.” At the same time, in order to get a deal done, he said players have to be willing to be reasonable and take a fair number if the team is going to be able to compete in a salary cap system.
