From the Panthers weekly
Fourth and thirteen at the Detroit ten, one twenty-nine left, Carolina up thirty-two to twenty-six and the Lions out of timeouts. Jared Goff threw short over the middle to Isaac TeSlaa, and TeSlaa was brought down at the Detroit twenty-two after twelve yards, one yard short. Bryce Young knelt twice, and Carolina had beaten the Lions thirty-two to twenty-six at home. The Panthers trailed for about ten minutes, all of it at three to nothing in the first quarter; it was tied at thirteen and at sixteen at halftime, and they led the rest of the way. Two points went missing at the kicking tee: Fitzgerald's extra point hit the right upright in the second quarter and went wide right in the third.
