The Carolina Panthers pulled off a win over the playoff-hopeful Seattle Seahawks, earning their first road victory of the season. With the win, the Carolina Panthers improved their record to 5-8 and sit just one game out of the division lead in the miserable NFC South.
On this episode of #WakeUpCLT To Go, we’ll break down how the Panthers went to Seattle and knocked off Geno Smith and the upstart Seahawks to keep their playoff hopes alive. Plus, we have Panthers fan reactions to the huge victory for Steve Wilks’ team.
Carolina never trailed in the game and shut down the Seahawks offense. Sam Darnold now sits undefeated as a starter after returning to the role a week ago.
The Panthers opened the game with their best first quarter of the season. Carolina drove into Seattle territory on the game’s opening drive before settling for an Eddy Piñeiro field goal.
On the ensuing drive, Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith’s first pass was intercepted by Jaycee Horn and returned to the Seattle 13-yard line. Horn looked to be on his way to a pick-six but stumbled after running over 30 yards.
It took just one play after that for the Panthers to find the endzone. Darnold threw a pass to Shi Smith, who found his way to a score to put the Panthers up 10-0. The 10 points were the most scored by Carolina in the opening period this season.
The Panthers added to their lead on the next drive. A 12-play 74-yard drive was capped off with Chuba Hubbard sneaking in for a two-yard rushing touchdown. #WakeUpCLT #NFL #Panthers
