Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold ran only six times for 19 yards and one touchdown. We got hit everywhere you can get hit in the run game. Read run, Darnold hit us on the read runs, so we just didn’t handle it well.

You can’t let anyone establish a run game like that.

Just when the Carolina Panthers’ season seemed as if it couldn’t get any worse, they played the worst first half in team history — and another change at quarterback may be in their future.
