The Washington Redskins have struggled all season to run the ball

and score points.But veteran running back Adrian Peterson believes the Redskins have finally found “the right recipe” with a two-pronged rushing attack Sam Darnold Jerseys Stitched , one they used to overpower the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.Derrius Guice racked up 129 yards and two touchdowns on the ground, Peterson ran for 99 yards and a score and the Redskins made a late goal-line stand to secure a 29-21 victory over the Panthers for their second straight victory.The Redskins piled up 248 yards rushing and scored a season high in points.“Guice and I talked throughout the game,” Peterson said. “We have a signal if we need each other to come in. Especially if that guy’s rolling, we’ll let him spin.”Guice, who had only 74 yards rushing and no touchdown in his entire NFL career coming in, averaged 12.9 yards per carry against a Carolina defense that came into the game ranked 27th in the league against the run.“I’ve always had confidence,” said Guice, who tore the ACL in his left knee last year as a rookie. “I’ve just had bad luck, so I haven’t been able to show it.”Peterson likes the shared approach, calling it “relaxing.”“I want him to be successful,” Peterson said. “That’s what he needs. I’m always rooting him on. I’m in his corner, and we can do this together.”The Panthers’ (5-7) fourth straight loss could put coach Ron Rivera’s job in jeopardy.“I’m not worried about my future,” Rivera said after the game. “I’m worried about this football team. We have a game coming up on Sunday.”The Redskins spotted the Panthers a 14-0 lead after quarterback Kyle Allen opened the game 8 of 8 passing for 106 yards with touchdown passes to wide receivers Curtis Samuel and D.J. Moore on Carolina’s first two possessions.But what looked like a Carolina rout quickly turned.The Redskins upped the pressure on Allen and the Panthers, forcing eight punts and an interception on the next nine possessions. Washington limited the Panthers to 65 yards on those nine drives and neutralized Christian McCaffrey, holding the NFL’s leader in yards from scrimmage to 102 total yards, well below his season average.“They got us schematically early in the game,” said Redskins linebacker Jon Bostic. “We switched up some of our calls and played some things differently with leverage. Nothing complicated, but sometimes it’s just being in a better call.”Allen broke the string when he scrambled for a 17-yard touchdown with 1:51 left to cut the lead to 29-21.Then, after most of the Carolina fans had left the stadium Youth Nathan Shepherd Jerseys , the Panthers executed a perfect onside kick with Jermaine Carter recovering near midfield to give Allen one more chance. The second-year QB moved the Panthers to the 1-yard line, but Washington stopped Carolina on four straight downs with Chris Odum sacking Allen after a 23-yard loss and Nate Orchard recovering the loose ball giving the Redskins their first win here since 1998.Both Odum and Orchard were signed to the active roster earlier this week.“It’s about making a play when it matters,” said Allen, who has lost five of his last six starts after winning his first five.THE LONGEST YARDThis was the fourth time this season the Panthers have reached an opponent’s 3-yard line needing a touchdown for the tying or go-ahead score, but come away with nothing with the game on the line.As in the previous three, it was McCaffrey who was stopped short of the goal line — this time on first and second down in the final seconds. The Panthers tried to throw on third and fourth down but Allen eventually was sacked and fumbled, ending the drive.“That’s hard to take,” Rivera said. “It’s a game of inches, and inches weren’t on our side this time.”ALL BUT OVERThe loss all but eliminates the Panthers from playoff contention in the NFC, leaving them 3 ½ games behind the Vikings in the race for the second wild-card spot.“The most disturbing thing is that we have a great team,” said Panthers wide receiver Jarius Wright.ANDERSON EJECTEDRedskins linebacker Ryan Anderson was ejected after delivering a helmet-to-helmet hit on tight end Greg Olsen. The Panthers announced Olsen has entered the concussion protocol and he did not return. Olsen appeared to tuck his head while approaching contact when Anderson came flying in and hit him straight on with his helmet. Olsen remained on the field for about a minute after the hit and the crowd booed relentlessly as replays were shown on the scoreboard.INJURIESRedskins: Redskins returner Trey Quinn left the game in the second quarter with a concussion after taking a shot to the head from DeAndrew White while going low to field a punt. Quinn didn’t call for a fair catch, but White was flagged for a helmet-to-helmet hit. ... Right tackle Morgan Moses left the game with a back injury and linebacker Montez Sweat injured his quadriceps.Panthers: Defensive tackle Gerald McCoy (ankle) and linebacker Brian Burns (back) missed portions of the game with injuries, but both returned.UP NEXTRedskins: Visit the Packers on Sunday.Panthers: Travel Sunday to face the Falcons, who beat them 29-3 on Nov. 17. FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — It appears the New York Jets might open their preseason schedule without a few starters.Wide receiver Quincy Enunwa injured his groin during practice Tuesday and was set to have tests. Coach Adam Gase did not seem overly concerned, but Enunwa’s status is uncertain for the preseason opener Thursday night against the Giants.“He was trying to go back in practice,” Gase said. “I think we’re just making sure that he’s OK, so that’s what they have to do. I don’t want to make it more alarming than what it is.”Defensive lineman Leonard Williams has missed two straight practices with a hip injury and seems unlikely to play. Gase said Williams was working on an anti-gravity treadmill during practice.“I think he’ll be all right next week,” Gase said Nathan Shepherd Jerseys Stitched , adding that Williams had an MRI. “Yeah, they’ve done all the stuff they need to do, we’re just being slow. He’s just kind of sore and we’re just being smart with him.”With the veteran out, first-rounder Quinnen Williams has been working with the first-team defense and could see time with the starters against the Giants.The No. 3 overall pick out of Alabama has had a solid training camp, regularly making plays that flash on the film when the players and coaches review practices.“I call him, ‘Big Baby,’ man,” safety Jamal Adams said. “He’s a guy that obviously is young right now, but he has the mindset of a killer. I’m definitely excited to play with him. I know what he’s going to bring to the table. I saw when he was coming off the bench at Alabama, he was coming in and making plays.”Safety Marcus Maye has sat out all of camp while on the active/physically unable to perform list with a shoulder injury. Gase revealed Tuesday that Maye has a nerve issue in the shoulder and that is preventing him from getting onto the practice field.“We’d like to get him back before the season starts, get him out there and make sure everything’s good to go,” Gase said. “That’s really the thing, we’re trying to buy ourselves as much time as possible and once he gets out there, we want him to be able to stay out there. That’s why we’re just listening to the doctors. He’s doing everything he can, but there’s nothing he can do about this.”Backup linebacker Harvey Langi, who had a good start to camp, has a knee injury that will sideline him for an uncertain amount of time.NOTES: Gase did not reveal how long his starters will play Thursday night, saying he wanted to meet with the players first. … It’s uncertain if running back Le’Veon Bell will make his debut for the Jets. Bell, who sat out last season in a contract dispute with Pittsburgh Youth Chris Herndon Jerseys , rarely played in preseason games for the Steelers. “It’s a fine line with Le’Veon,” Gase said. “He hasn’t played in a year. At the same time, when’s the right time? Is it this game? Is it the next one? Is it the next one? Do we just not play him this preseason? Do we go through the whole time and just give him reps? All those questions are what we keep talking about.” Gases added that Bell hasn’t lobbied to him one way or the other. “The one conversation we had about it, he goes, ‘Whatever you tell me you want to do, that’s what we’ll do,'” Gase said. “So, he’s been outstanding in that area.” … G Kelechi Osemele said he won’t watch his former team, the Oakland Raiders, on HBO’s “Hard Knocks,” which premieres Tuesday night. “I don’t have a television,” said Osemele, who said he hasn’t owned one in a few years. “If I want to watch something, I get a friend’s iPad and log into their Netflix or something.” … OL Alex Lewis passed his physical, making his trade from Baltimore official. Smith was acquired by the Jets on Monday for a conditional seventh-round pick in next year’s draft. TE Nick Truesdell was waived to make room on the roster.
