CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- ??? The Carolina Panthers emerged from the bye week looking a little more like the team that went to the Super Bowl last season rather than an NFC doormat.Jonathan Stewart ran for 95 yards and two touchdowns, Thomas Davis returned a fumble 46 yards for a score and the Panthers snapped a four-game losing streak with a 30-20 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.In a game reminiscent of last seasons NFC championship, a 49-15 Carolina victory, the Panthers jumped to a 24-0 lead and kept the pressure on Carson Palmer all day.Carolina, which has struggled to generate a pass rush all season, sacked Palmer eight times -- three of those by Star Lotulelei -- and forced two turnovers. The Panthers also limited running back David Johnson to 24 yards rushing.Thats just everybody working together, said Lotulelei, a 2013 first-round draft pick. Its the back seven doing their job covering, and the front getting after it. They gave us time to get there and thats what we did up front.Panthers coach Ron Rivera said the win felt like a big weight was lifted from his shoulders.It is huge because it is one of those things we can build momentum off, Rivera said.Stewart added touchdown runs of 2 and 1 yards to push the lead to 21-0 against an Arizona defense that hadnt allowed a touchdown in its previous two games.Our offense really struggled after that call, Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said of the Davis fumble return. We played much better in the second half and gave ourselves a chance. We just didnt make the plays to get us back in the game.Forced into a one-dimensional game, Palmer finished 35 of 46 for 363 yards with three touchdowns, two to J.J. Nelson .After losing their last two games on last-second field goals, the Panthers left no doubt about this one.Carolina (2-5) needed a boost to save a sinking season and got one from Davis, their longest-tenured player and emotional leader, on the opening series. Lotulelei sacked Palmer, who attempted to push the ball forward to avoid the sack while in the grasp of the 315-pound defensive tackle. Davis picked up the loose ball and delivered a stiff arm on the way to the first touchdown of his 12-year NFL career.I think the guys really appreciate that because he works so hard, Rivera said. He is one of the players who is the heart and soul of the team.Palmer didnt see it as a fumble.I was throwing to David (Johnson), Palmer said. It was an obvious pass, but they didnt see it that way.The Cardinals (3-4-1) battled back within 30-20 and had the ball at the Carolina 36 with 3:18 left. But defensive end Kony Ealy tipped Palmers pass and intercepted it to help seal the Carolina win.Panthers quarterback Cam Newton said the bye week helped the players get away from football and we came back and meshed together.NEWTON ON THE RUN: Newton said last week he wasnt afraid to run after being knocked out with a concussion against the Falcons on Oct. 2, and he proved it Sunday. Newton ran six times for 39 yards.The offensive line played very physical and we ran the ball extremely well, Newton said.WHAT BROWN CAN DO FOR YOU: Arizona wide receiver John Brown, who missed last weeks game against Seattle because of leg issues related to a sickle-cell trait, caught a 17-yard touchdown pass from Palmer in the third quarter.CORNERBACK ROTATION: Nickel cornerback Leonard Johnson gave the Carolina defense a big boost in his first game. Johnson, activated from the non-football injury list last week, had eight tackles, one sack and a pass breakup.FRUSTRATION SETS IN: Frustration got the best of Palmer in the third quarter when he was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct in the third quarter when he argued an illegal hands to the face call against a teammate, resulting in a 15-yard penalty and a second-and-44.INJURY UPDATECardinals: Safety Tyrann Mathieu left in the first half with a shoulder injury and did not return. Left tackle Jared Veldheer departed in the fourth quarter with an arm injury.Panthers: Two-time All-Pro center Ryan Kalil (right shoulder) and did not return.UP NEXT: The Panthers travel to Los Angeles next Sunday.

President of baseball operations Larry Beinfest was fired Friday after 12 years with the Marlins. The move came as the team neared the end of its third consecutive last-place season in the NL East.Surrey 267 (S Curran 59*, Davies 56, Finch 52) and 106 for 1 (Sibley 54*) drew Yorkshire 407 (Lyth 202, Gale 61, Patterson 51)Scorecard Adam Lyths double hundred was the main feature of the final day at The Oval as, after the loss of 142 overs to inclement weather in the opening two days, the players of Surrey and Yorkshire bowed to the inevitable at 5pm and shook hands on a rain-ruined draw.What started as a keenly anticipated Specsavers County Championship clash petered out tamely with part-time spinners enjoying a twirl in the hallowed surrounds of the The Oval where Surrey reached 106 for 1, 38 overs into their second innings - to still trail by 34 runs when stumps were drawn.The relegation threatened hosts banked 10 points for their fourth draw of the campaign, while Yorkshire, who move up to fourth on the table, took home 13 points after dominating much of the play that was possible over four bleak days in SE11.Having batted on well into the mid-session, the visitors left themselves a minimum of 52 overs to pull off an unlikely win but, despite ringing the bat with close fielders, they could only pick up the wicket of Rory Burns.Off balance and working to leg against the first delivery from spinner Azeem Rafiq, Burns chipped back a return catch to go for 14. It proved Yorkshires only success of a dull afternoon that had started in confusion when a new umpire appeared out in the middle. It emerged that Neil Bainton had been taken ill during the interval break and had been replaced at the start of Surreys second innings by Tony Pigott, the ECBs appointed cricket liaison officer for the fixture.The day began with all eyes on Lyth, who seemingly had his sights set on improving his career-best 251scored in the 2014 Roses match at Old Trafford. He lost his first partner of the day after 75 minutes play when Zafar Ansari bowled Steven Patterson to end a fourth wicket-stand with Lyth that added 91 inside 26 overs.ddddddddddddLyth carried on where he had left off on day three, posting his 150 off 233 balls and with 15 fours and a brace of sixes but Patterson, who had just reached an 87-ball 50 with seven fours, had his timbers rearranged by Ansari with Yorkshire 20 ahead on first innings.Adil Rashid might have departed with his score on 2 when he skied to long-on only to see Jason Roy down a steepling catch off Ansari. The blunder hardly mattered, however, as Ansari got his man caught at slip to make it 324 for 5, which brought Tim Bresnan to the crease. He lasted 11 deliveries before missing an attempted slog-sweep against Gareth Batty to depart lbw for 3.Liam Plunkett joined forces with Lyth to up the run-rate either side of lunch with Plunkett plundering three fours and two sixes in his cameo 37 that ended with a run out. Having clattered the ball to deep cover, Plunkett called for a chancy second run only to be beaten home by the throw to the strikers end.Lyth marched on to his double hundred, reaching the landmark with an uppercut for six that cleared the ropes at third man off a Stuart Meaker bouncer. It was Lyths fifth six, to go with 17 boundaries in his 291-ball innings.Meaker got his man next ball up, however, when Lyth, in aiming to clear the ropes again, skied to proffer a simple catch to Steven Davies, keeping wicket in place of the injured Ben Foakes.Though they had 400 on the board for maximum bonus points, Yorkshire batted on allowing Tom Curran to pick up the wicket of Andrew Hodd following a stunning diving catch in the covers by Rory Burns. David Willey then holed out to deep midwicket to end the innings. ' ' '
