NFL Game Summary - Carolina at Miami

Miami, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers found a way to win again.

Newton finished an 80-yard drive with a 1-yard touchdown pass to Greg Olsen with 43 seconds remaining, giving the Panthers a 20-16 victory over the Miami Dolphins at Sun Life Stadium.

Newton threw for 174 yards and ran for 51 yards with a score for the Panthers (8-3), who extended their winning streak to seven straight games. Carolina remained one game behind first-place New Orleans in the NFC South.

Ryan Tannehill and Mike Wallace hooked up for a 53-yard touchdown in the first quarter for Miami, but the Dolphins managed only a trio of field goals in the second quarter when they were dominating play and were shutout in the second half.

It was a bitter end to a trying week for the Dolphins (5-6), who failed to build off last Sunday's 20-16 win over San Diego.

Miami players, coaches and team officials were busy this week with questions from NFL special investigator Ted Wells concerning the team's workplace conduct in the wake of the Jonathan Martin-Richie Incognito incident.
