For most of those who were involved, today's victory for the Carolina Panthers over the Philadelphia Eagles will be a forgettable one. The sloppy triumph included a backup quarterback, a fourth-string running back, a dozen injury-related timeouts and a combined 24 penalties for a total of 233 yards lost.
But among all the ugly was a pretty performance from Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble, who posted four catches, 46 yards and—for the first time in his six-year NFL career—two touchdowns.
After the second, a 19-yard reception which proved to be a knockout punch to the host Eagles, Tremble broke out a little Rocky Balboa in front of the Philly crowd . . .
