CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Much of what plagued Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold in Sunday’s 21-18 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles can be blamed on being pressured on a season-high 43% of his dropbacks.
But not all of it can be blamed on the pressure -- and Darnold, who threw as many interceptions Sunday as he totaled in the first four games (three), knows it.
Two plays in particular, Darnold would like to have back. One was a third-and-3 attempt to wide receiver Robby Anderson that came the play before the Eagles blocked a punt to set up the winning touchdown with 2:38 remaining.
