On national television,
the Carolina Panthers went into Seattle and got blown out by the Seahawks,
40-7. Seattle gained 534 yards of total offense, including 240 rushing, which is
terrible due to since the Panthers are supposed to have one of the best rushing
defenses in the NFL. While the Panthers only gain 271 yards for the entire
game. Seattle never punted the ball until the fourth quarter. Cam Newton did
not start the game due to dress-code violation. So, Derek Anderson was the
starter for the Panthers and on the first play of the game he was picked off
and the Seahawks would eventually kick a field goal to take an early 3-0 lead. It
was downhill from there for the Panthers. After this game the Panthers will
have losing record this season and their chances of making the playoffs are all
but gone.
At halftime Seattle was up 23 to 7, then first play of
the second half Tyler Lockett jet-sweep 75-yard touchdown, to put the Seahawks
up 30 to 7. By that time, the way our offense was playing and the defense couldn’t
get the Seahawks off the field beside one Tre Boston interception which lead to
Ted Ginn Jr. 55-yard touchdown. The game was all but over. Other notes of this
game, the Panthers have an NFL high 9 players have been under concussion protocol
this seasons. The Panthers had four players out injured for this game, then
during the game two more players got hurt. Rookie Cornerback Darley Worley and
David Mayo are under concussion protocol. Carolina Panthers leaders was Cam
