That was into the "closed end" of the stadium, where Gostkowski has classically been better. Not much wind tonight, anyway.

A 60-yard FG from Gostkowski gives New England a 13-0 lead over Carolina in the final seconds of the first half. #CARvsNE

Gostkowski with a 60 (yes, 60!) yard field goal! #CARvsNE

Impressive 60-yard field goal by Stephen Gostkowski. Midseason form for the kicker.
Zuri Berry 8/23/2014 12:49:55 AM
That was a 60-yard field goal by Gostkowski.

Stephen Gostkowski barely got it. 13-0, Patriots.

Patrick Chung limped off the field. Looks like he's trying to walk it off.

At this point, Patrick Chung starting at strong safety is more than a strong possibility. Has been good vs. run, struggled in cov.
Zuri Berry 8/23/2014 12:39:27 AM
The thing I like about Patrick Chung is that he's always in the middle of something.

Two Minute Warning | #Panthers 0, #Patriots 10. #CARvsNE

WR @KBREDZONE snares a quick pass from Newton. Cam follows it up with a 16-yard completion to TE @gregolsen88 . Carolina on the NE 47.
Zuri Berry 8/23/2014 12:36:48 AM
Didn't take long for Cam Newton to return.

Cam Newton back in the game. Breathe easy, all the Panthers fans who are surely following me.
Zuri Berry 8/23/2014 12:36:20 AM
@Mike: I don't think so Mike. I think he's pretty damn good.

QB @CameronNewton back in the game. Only missed one play. #CARvsNE
Mike 8/23/2014 12:36:06 AM
Is Tommy Kelly past his prime?

Good open field tackle by Jamie Collins on that play, who was in on spy duty against Cam Newton. Newton is down on one knee on the field.
Zuri Berry 8/23/2014 12:33:34 AM
Cam Newton took a knee. Thought it was him just needing to speak in the huddle. But he's hurt. Jamie Collins kinda nicked him.

James Morris on the field on defense, along with Darius Fleming. @PatriotsSB49

Oh my word. Jets DB situation is in dire straits. RT @MMehtaNYDN : Antonio Allen is shaken up. Being checked out by medical staff. #nyj

Shane Vereen—and the potential dynamic he adds to the offense—basically sums up how important health is for the #Patriots this season.
by Carolina Panthers via twitter 8/23/2014 12:28:09 AM
Touchdown #Patriots . Brady hits Vereen for a 40-yard score. New England takes a 10-0 lead over Carolina with 4:50 left in the half. #CARvsNE

40-yd TOUCHDOWN, Brady to @ShaneVereen34 ! #CARvsNE
by Erik Frenz via twitter 8/23/2014 12:27:15 AM
Shane Vereen touchdown machine. @michaelFhurley
Zuri Berry 8/23/2014 12:27:15 AM
Shane Vereen cannot be caught. 40-yard TD.

False start on Ryan Wendell. That's a demerit, son.

Josh Kline playing the role of Nate Solder, entering the game as an eligible TE.

Zuri Berry 8/23/2014 12:24:41 AM
Panthers DT Star Lotulelei looks good. Beat Nate Solder for the tackle in the backfield.

Nice adjustment by Kenbrell Thompkins on that slant route, cut it short before entering the coverage of the linebacker.
Zuri Berry 8/23/2014 12:23:23 AM
Kenbrell Thompkins looks so polished. Huge, huge growth over the last year. Nice slant and catch.

Dan Connolly at RG and Ryan Wendell at C on this series. #throwbackfriday ?

Learn more about Smith here: pnth.rs/YEulaV RT @PanthersMax D.J. Smith in the game at linebacker in place of Luke Kuechly.
Zuri Berry 8/23/2014 12:20:28 AM
@Mike: Quite a few people. Steve Maneri for one. Dude just missed an easy block.

Who's playing for their NFL lives tonight? In other words, who's out of the league tomorrow?

Some bad blocking there by Steve Maneri.

Brady back in at QB for the #Patriots to start this drive. #CARvsNE
by Erik Frenz via twitter 8/23/2014 12:18:29 AM
Panthers defense was really hungry for the ball on that carry by Stevan Ridley. Is it any surprise?
Zuri Berry 8/23/2014 12:17:12 AM
Ryan Wendell back at center.
