CHARLOTTE, N.C. — In what was likely his final home game as Carolina's coach, John Fox ensured he'd leave with a winning overall record.
He can thank his quarterback for his getting a long-awaited first victory.
Jimmy Clausen outplayed John Skelton in a matchup of rookie quarterbacks, John Kasay kicked four field goals and the Panthers beat the punchless Arizona Cardinals 19-12 on Sunday to snap a seven-game losing streak.
Clausen threw only his second touchdown pass of the season in his first win in eight starts. Jonathan Stewart rushed for 137 yards and the Panthers (2-12) held the Cardinals to 43 yards rushing.
Fox, in the final year of his contract, improved to 73-69 in a rare bright spot amid a miserable year.
