QB Sam Darnold lifts Panthers to win, will get another start

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers interim coach Steve Wilks didn't need an extra day to evaluate the film to say quarterback Sam Darnold played well enough in Sunday's 23-10 victory over the Denver Broncos to get another start in two weeks against the Seattle Seahawks.

"Yes, he does start at Seattle,'' Wilks said without hesitation.

Darnold, making his first start since last year's season finale at Tampa Bay, completed 11 of 19 pass attempts for 164 yards and a touchdown. He also rushed for a touchdown, rolling into the end zone after recovering his own fumble at the 2.
