4. The Panthers’ Quick Start To The Game
The Panthers were able to get off to a quick start against Arizona, which would prove to be crucial down the stretch of this game.
Carolina sprinted out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, immediately grabbing the momentum away from an Arizona team that had to travel across the country.
Mike Davis and Teddy Bridgewater each had a rushing touchdown in the first quarter, to put Carolina up by two touchdowns. When Arizona finally got on the board in the second quarter, the Panthers promptly responded by adding another touchdown.
One notable aspect of the performance by Carolina is Kyler Murray did not struggle for the Cardinals. Usually when Murray plays well, the Cardinals have success, but the Panthers were able to pull off the victory to reach .500.
