The Carolina Panthers have just a pair of wins through eight games, but with rookie quarterback Cam Newton keeping them competitive, they're confident there will be better second-half results.The Tennessee Titans have the same hopes as they sit at .500 at the season's midpoint. Coming off a bye, the Panthers close out a three-game stretch at home Sunday when they face a Titans team opening a road-heavy portion of its schedule. With Olindo Mare missing a 31-yard field goal with 26 seconds left in a 24-21 loss to Minnesota on Oct. 30, the Panthers limped into the bye week at 2-6 - far off the 10-win pace first-year coach Ron Rivera said his team was capable of in training camp."To be 2-6 is not acceptable by any means, and it's disappointing," Rivera said. "But what we can do, and what we have the ability to do, is more important to our guys right now."
