Panthers now 'dangerous'

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The Giants and Panthers come into today's game off outstanding performances.

Carolina, playing for pride at this point, stunned Minnesota 27-6 on Sunday night. The Panthers' defense limited the Vikings to 237 yards, 63 coming on a pass play with the game decided.

Panthers linebacker Na'il Diggs isn't concerned about this being the Giants last game at the Meadowlands.

"It's more about us," Diggs said. "We've got our own set of accomplishments that we've still got to achieve. No, we're not going to the playoffs. No, we're not where we want to be. But we've still got some work to do in these next couple of weeks in-house. We're not worrying about whose party we're messing up."

Diggs said last week's performance gave confidence to a team that also remembers last year's meeting with the Giants. New York posted a 34-28 overtime win to edge the Panthers for home-field advantage in the playoffs, where both were eliminated in the NFC semifinals.

"We're a very dangerous team because we're talented but don't have the record to stand behind it," Diggs said.
