CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Russell Wilson decided to try it again. And it worked in a big way for the Seattle Seahawks. Wilson threw a 43-yard touchdown pass to Jermaine Kearse in the fourth quarter and Seattles defence came up with a huge turnover in the final minutes of a 12-7 win Sunday over the Carolina Panthers. The Seahawks managed just two field goals before Kearse beat cornerback Josh Thomas down the right sideline for his first career touchdown catch with 10:13 left. The score came one play after Wilson attempted a nearly identical pass -- although on a different play call -- but Stephen Williams couldnt come up with the diving catch. Kearse did. The second-year receiver made a leaping grab in the end zone over Thomas for the go-ahead score. "Wed called for a shot before, and I was surprised wed missed on that one," said Wilson, who threw for 320 yards. "Maybe I threw it a little too far. I saw Kearse out there with the rest of the guys and I read the play. He was a second read, and he did a great job of attacking the football." Kearse had just three catches for 31 yards last season as a rookie, but showed promise during the preseason. The Seahawks failed on a 2-point conversion attempt, but they wouldnt need it. Their defence handled the rest. The Panthers had a chance to move back in front, but safety Earl Thomas stripped DeAngelo Williams after a 16-yard scamper and Tony McDaniel recovered at the Seattle 8 with 5:25 left. The Seahawks ran out the clock from there. Williams, who finished with 76 yards on 16 carries, took the loss hard. "It was one mistake, but it was the mistake that cost my team the game," said Williams, who also had a fumble in last years 16-12 loss to the Seahawks. Williams tried to make a spin move when he got the 10 when Thomas popped the ball loose from behind. "Their secondary has a knack for doing that and my job is to protect the football," Williams said. "I didnt do my job." Thomas certainly did his. "When a running back feels like hes getting open, hell start swinging his arms," Thomas said. "I got in a good punch. We always work on that, getting the ball to come out." Added Wilson: "That shows what our football team is all about, that relentless nature to keep going after the ball. Were getting close to the game being on the line, and thats what makes Earl Thomas the best in the game." It was a rough debut for new Panthers offensive co-ordinator Mike Shula. Panthers quarterback Cam Newton was held to 125 yards passing and one touchdown -- a 3-yard strike to Steve Smith in the first half -- against a Seattle team playing without defensive starters Chris Clemons, Cliff Avril and Brandon Browner. The Panthers led 7-3 at the break, but didnt score in the second half. Newton was plagued by a few dropped passes, including two by his normally reliable tight end Greg Olsen. Shula wanted to limit Newtons carries this season and he did just that with the explosive quarterback carrying just five times for 38 yards. Newton led the Panthers in rushing last year with 741 yards. "Weve got to go back and look and see exactly what they did and how they took us out of what we wanted to do on offence," Panthers coach Ron Rivera said. It was a struggle for Seattles offence, too. The Seahawks couldnt get much going on the ground with Carolina smothering Marshawn Lynch, holding the All-Pro running back to 43 yards on 17 carries. Wilson picked up the slack, completing 25 of 33 passes against Carolinas suspect secondary. Doug Baldwin had 91 yards on seven receptions. Rivera, who dropped to 2-13 in games decided by seven points or less, blamed the loss on "missed opportunities," including the costly fumble by Williams, some dropped passes and the inability to get off the field on third down late in the game. The 34-year-old Smith had six catches for 51 yards and a touchdown. He said despite the loss he expects to see Seattle again in January -- in the NFC playoffs. Newton agreed. "Absolutely, absolutely," Newton said. "Everybody, lets not panic now. Were going to be all right. This is the first game. We played an unbelievable team." NOTES: Panthers starting right guard Garry Williams left in the first quarter with a left knee injury and Rivera said "it doesnt look good." The Panthers rotated Chris Scott, Travelle Wharton and Jeff Byers in at their two guard spots. ... Panthers defensive end Frank Alexander was ejected in the second quarter after throwing a punch at Seahawks offensive lineman Breno Giacomini following a Carolina sack. ... Carolinas Armond Smith was flagged twice for 30 yards for running out of bounds on punt coverage. Mike Alstott Jersey .

The Hockey Concussion Education Project - a collaboration of specialists from Canada and the United States - provided new physical evidence on Tuesday identifying early brain change as a result of concussions and observed that diagnosed concussion incidence was 3-5 times higher than previously reported. Using advanced MRI imaging and analysis on 45 male and female adult CIS hockey players over the course of a season, the study revealed that clinically-diagnosed concussions are resulting in small, multimodal organic changes in the brains of athletes that have suffered them. The HCEP study adds that that a history of concussion may result in alterations of the brains white matter make-up. White matter affects how the brain learns and functions by transmitting signals from one part of the brain to the other. Also, comparisons between male and female athletes in the study showed that while male athletes had more significant Susceptibility Weighted Imaging (SWI) MRI findings, female athletes demonstrated a higher incidence of cconcussion.dddddddddddd "What are our societal goals - will we foster the development of our young peoples cognitive, social and physical potential in a safe and protected environment - or will we continue to teach and reward a culture of violence and accepted brain injuries as part of the game?," said Dr. Paul Echlin, the lead author of the study. "Are we able to evolve and make significant or even radical changes in the sports themselves based on the scientific evidence of too many serious short and long-term brain injuries?" HCEP - conducted by Harvard Medical School/Brigham and the Womens Hospital/Massachusetts General Hospital/Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging/Western University of Canada - has published peer-reviewed scientific findings twice (2010 and 2012) highlighting the high incidence of concussion and the damage inflicted on young hockey players. For this study, the CIS players were asked to undergo MRIs at the beginning and end of the season. Those who had suffered concussions had MRIs within 72 hours of the brain injury and again at two weeks and at two months. ' ' '
