Cam Newton has said that the Carolina Panthers must "move forward" following their second defeat of the 2013 NFL season.

The NFC South side have been narrowly beaten in both of their games so far this season and will host the New York Giants, who are also without a win this year, on Sunday.

The quarterback told reporters after yesterday's practice: "If we keep dwelling on the fact that we're 0-2, we're going to look up and before we know it we're going to be 0-3. It's Wednesday. It was Sunday that it happened.

"We have to move forward and get better because whether you want to believe it or not, the Giants are coming to town. This is a great team we're playing, no matter what their record is.

"The most important thing that should be on our mind is leaving this facility each day knowing that I've done enough to put my team in the best situation to be 1-2. But we're not going to look that far down the road. We still have our day-to-day challenges ahead of us, making sure we know our game plan and know our responsibilities."

The Panthers sit third in their division.
