The offense showed some signs of life, but the Carolina Panthers were still completely overmatched by the Detroit Lions and lost, 42-24.
First Quarter
The Panthers got the ball first and moved the ball down the field with some success until they got around midfield. On 3rd and 4, Bryce Young was forced to throw the ball away. On 4th and 4 from the Detroit 39 yard line, the coaching staff thought the best course of action was to try to draw the defense offsides before taking the delay of game and punting the ball to the high powered Lions offense.
