Top Play No. 5: Olsen Winner at Seahawks

Down 23-20 with 36 seconds left in the riveting Week 6 battle against Seattle, the Panthers produced the winning play that many consider the turning point of the 2015 season.

Quarterback Cam Newton[1] dropped back and looked left to draw the defenders' attention, but all along he was hoping to connect with tight end Greg Olsen[2] down the right seam. When Newton turned right, he saw Olsen running wide open toward the end zone.

Newton calmly threw a 26-yard touchdown strike to Olsen, giving Carolina a 27-23 comeback victory to silence the crowd at CenturyLink Field.

The Panthers, who trailed 20-7 in the third quarter, fought back in what felt like a true heavyweight fight to finally knock off their nemesis, the two-time NFC champs. It was an early-season win that took Carolina's confidence to an entirely new level.
