Panthers Shock Rams: Stafford Intercepted Twice
1 Dec
Summary
- Bryce Young threw three touchdown passes, two on fourth down.
- Panthers defense forced three turnovers from Matthew Stafford.
- Carolina snapped the Rams' six-game winning streak in a close game.
The Carolina Panthers secured a significant 31-28 upset against the Los Angeles Rams, halting the Rams' impressive six-game winning streak. Quarterback Bryce Young delivered a stellar performance, completing 15 of 20 passes for 206 yards and three touchdowns. Notably, two of these scoring passes came on critical fourth-down plays, showcasing the Panthers' clutch execution.
The Panthers' defense was instrumental in the victory, forcing three turnovers from veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford. Mike Jackson's 48-yard interception return for a touchdown was a key moment, contributing to the end of Stafford's NFL record of 28 consecutive touchdown passes without an interception. Derrick Brown also made a crucial strip-sack late in the game.
This hard-fought win keeps the Panthers within striking distance of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC South standings. Despite a strong effort from Stafford, who passed for two touchdowns to Davante Adams, the Rams couldn't overcome the turnovers and the Panthers' determined play, particularly their effective running game in the second half.
