Panthers' defensive performance in win leads to praise, turnovers, and one ongoing argument

Coming into Sunday, the Packers only had four turnovers. By day's end, the Packers had forced Green Bay into two more, the fumble and a Tre'von Moehrig interception. There was almost a third, but Mike Jackson dropped what looked to be a sure interception in the end zone. It was fourth down, and the Panthers would take the ball back regardless, but Horn would like to take a moment to defend his teammate.

"You should have seen him after the game, he had an attitude like we just lost the game. Because it was probably the easiest pick," laughed Horn of his fellow corner. "But it really ain't that easy of a pick. When the balls hanging in the air like that and the wind's moving it, it looks easier than it actually is. But he should have brought it down for sure."

But the Panthers could live without Jackson's potential game-changing play there (although they commit to poking fun at him for a while) because there were enough others. There was Horn's pass breakup on Romeo Doubs in the back of the end zone as the first half wound down, keeping Green Bay from the touchdown on what would have been a go-ahead score.

"It was just film study," said Horn. "Seeing when they put him backside by himself, and I was off, and he inside released me, I pretty much knew a dig was coming because I hadn't seen nothing else on film."
