Need to know: Final thoughts Redskins vs Panthers | CSN Washington
You've heard about Cam and TE Greg Olsen all week. The other two offensive weapons to watch are RB Jonathan Stewart and WR Ted Ginn. Stewart is on pace to gain about 1,200 yards rushing and he will chew up yards and clock if the Redskins haven't fixed their problems with rushing defense. Ginn is having a career renaissance at the age of 30. He's the Panthers' second-leading receiver with 25 catches and he's averaging over 16 yards per reception. It's possible that the Redskins hold down production from Olsen and Newton but get beaten by Ginn and Stewart.
