Panthers backup P.J. Walker shows he's good enough to beat the Lions

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- It’s too early to say the Carolina Panthers won’t need to select a quarterback in the first round of the 2021 draft.

But former XFL star P.J. Walker at least showed on Sunday he’s capable of winning a NFL game -- even if was against the undermanned Detroit Lions.

Walker did a lot of good things in the 20-0 victory in relief of Teddy Bridgewater, a last-minute inactive as he recovers from a sprained right knee suffered a week ago against Tampa Bay.
