In Week 14 the 4-8 Carolina Panthers went on the road as big underdogs against the 7-5 Seahawks in one of the most difficult venues in the NFL. Carolina jumped out to a commanding 17-0 first quarter lead then did just enough to close out a 30-24 win. Here are the key stats behind the victory:
2 QB hits, 1 sack, 2 tackles for loss - Frankie Luvu may have only recorded four tackles against Seattle, but he absolutely wrecked multiple Seahawks drives. With some shrewd schemes from interim defensive coordinator Al Holcomb, Luvu was in Geno Smith’s face throughout the game and his unrelenting pressure forced Seattle’s quarterback to throw away a plethora of passes.
