The Los Angeles Rams maintained a slim 17-14 advantage over the Carolina Panthers as halftime arrived in their matchup. Despite entering the game as significant favorites, the Rams faced a resilient Panthers squad that capitalized on opportunities. A muffed punt by Carolina did not result in additional points for Los Angeles. Matthew Stafford's fourth-down incompletion from the Panthers' 19-yard line proved costly.
Carolina responded effectively, executing an 81-yard touchdown drive in just five plays. Bryce Young connected with Jalen Coker for a substantial gain, setting up his own 16-yard touchdown run after evading pressure. The Rams had a chance to extend their lead further, but a deep pass intended for Puka Nacua was dropped. Young's first-half stats included 151 passing yards with an interception, while Stafford threw for 137 yards and one touchdown.
