Brandon LaFell ends season on high note
Brandon LaFell - WR - Carolina Panthers
Dec. 31, 2012 - 2:45 AM ET

Brandon LaFell caught five passes for 62 yards in the Panthers' Week 17 win over the Saints.

LaFell nearly had a touchdown, but caught a pass out in front of him while standing on the goal line. It's a fitting end to a somewhat frustrating campaign for LaFell in his first year as the clear-cut No. 2 wideout opposite Steve Smith. He missed two games due to turf toe and managed just 44 catches for 677 yards and four scores, often alternating big games with pass-catching tight end Greg Olsen. The good news is LaFell will be in a contract year in 2013 and Smith will be 34 years old. He'll have flier appeal once again.
