Carolina sets record in win

By running over, around and through one of the league's top defenses, the Carolina Panthers staked their claim as one of the NFL's top teams.

DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart proved a dominating tandem, and the Panthers seized control of the competitive NFC South with a 38-23 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night.

Williams rushed for a career-high 186 yards and two touchdowns, Stewart added 115 yards and two more scores and the Panthers set a team record for yards rushing for the second time in a month.

Carolina finished with 299 yards rushing, surpassing the team-record 264 it had last month against Detroit.

They also set a NFL league record of two running backs having over 100yds each and two rushing touchdowns each for the first time ever in the same game.
