Brian Burns is down after the play, gets up, but he slams his helmet to the ground in frustration on his way off the field.

TJ Carrie came out of that kickoff coverage with the ball.

Officials conferring.

Panthers ball in Broncos territory.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 27, 2022

That big chunk play between Darnold and Moore helps set up for a 26-yard Eddy Piñeiro field goal. Panthers extend their lead.

DJ Moore eclipses 100 yards on the day with that 52-yarder. 103 receiving yards on four catches early in the fourth.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) November 27, 2022

D'Onta Foreman back on the field again
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) November 27, 2022

D'Onta Foreman down after that run.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 27, 2022

Over the last two seasons, Sam Darnold is tied for the most rushing TDs (6) for Carolina

(ducks) (rolls)
— Will Bryan (@Pantherstatsguy) November 27, 2022

Weird Sam Darnold touchdown rush. He fumbles the ball just before the end zone and rolls in for the score after recovering the ball.

Caps off a 72-yd drive that took off over 6 minutes.

CAR 17, DEN 3 | 7:15 3Q
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) November 27, 2022

Sam Darnold hasn't been flashy so far, but he's been pretty much what he needs to be.

And he's getting the ball to DJ Moore, something that has needed to happen and hasn't in the last few weeks
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) November 27, 2022

Annnnd now Raheem Blackshear is back on punt return again. Denver does nothing after halftime on offense
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) November 27, 2022

Halftime passer ratings:

Darnold 95.0
Wilson 76.8#asexpected
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 27, 2022

Denver got some rhythm going on offense just before halftime, but the clock forced them to attempt a 56-yard field goal. McManus misses.

CAR 10, DEN 3 | Half
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) November 27, 2022

Amare Barno getting more and more involved on special teams, was down there in position on the punt.

Anyone as big and as long and as fast as Barno is built to be a special teamer.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 27, 2022

The sun's out, but the wind is picking up up.

It's breezy enough to shake goalposts. Keep an eye on that the rest of the day.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 27, 2022

Second holding call on Brady Christensen today
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) November 27, 2022

Burns now has double-digit sacks for the first time in his career.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 27, 2022

Denver entered this game allowing 115 rushing yards/gm...Carolina with 85 already in second quarter
— Will Bryan (@Pantherstatsguy) November 27, 2022

Eddy Piñeiro from 42 yards out, hits it.

Another long scoring drive for the Panthers, drains 5:29 off the clock

Chuba Hubbard gaining a measure of vengeance for Canada today.

Keeping the chains moving with Foreman sidelined.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 27, 2022

D'Onta Foreman just went to the tent. Left leg.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 27, 2022

Carolina's leaders in TFLs, Frankie Luvu and Brian Burns, team up on that one on third down
— Will Bryan (@Pantherstatsguy) November 27, 2022

When D'Onta Foreman gets going, the Panthers are just so much more efficient. He's up to 49 yards on seven carries already.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) November 27, 2022

Panthers hold Broncos to a field goal after the turnover, with Frankie Luvu flying through for the run stop on third down.

Panthers up 7-3 with 10:11 left.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 27, 2022

It's also Week 12, and the Panthers have truly been in need of a reliable presence returning punts all season
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) November 27, 2022

Blackshear muffs the punt, Broncos recover.

This figures to be a low margin-of-error day. Can't afford that.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 27, 2022

Brian Burns all over Russell Wilson. 11-yard loss and Burns' fourth week in a row with at least one sack.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) November 27, 2022

Denver earns its first 1st down of the day as the first quarter expires... 11-yard Latavius Murray run

The Broncos have 26 net yards of offense through the first quarter

Sam Darnold TD pass... Floats a 5-yard completion to DJ Moore. Exciting drive to get on the board first, and it took over 7 minutes off the clock.

CAR 7, DEN 0 | 0:30 1Q
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) November 27, 2022

First TD pass at home for Sam Darnold since 10/17/21 against Minnesota
— Will Bryan (@Pantherstatsguy) November 27, 2022

Darnold to DJ Moore, touchdown.

We all had that on our bingo cards.

The Panther's growling at Bank of America Stadium and Carolina's down the field with first & goal at the 7
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) November 27, 2022

Darnold to DJ for 26.

Then D'Onta up the middle for 15.

The Killer Ds.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 27, 2022

Fake!

Sean Chandler converts a fourth down.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 27, 2022

Each team with two possessions, each team with two punts.

Embrace the possibilities.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 27, 2022

Carolina started that drive at the Denver 41 and went 8 yards backward. Will punt for the second time today
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) November 27, 2022

Raheem Blackshear receives that Broncos punt. He's usually been the guy on the kickoffs for a while while Shi Smith handled punts. Smith missed some practice this week with illness, but he's all good for today

Blackshear ran it back 21 yards to set the offense up well.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) November 27, 2022

Panthers open on defense with Sam Franklin at safety along with Xavier Woods, and Jeremy Chinn up there closer to the LBs.

That's a thing.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 27, 2022

League-leading 27th punt inside the 20 and 4th inside the 5 for Johnny Hekker
— Will Bryan (@Pantherstatsguy) November 27, 2022

And with that snap to Johnny Hekker, JJ Jansen has now tied the Panthers franchise record by appearing in his 221st game.

And Raheem Blackshear downs the punt at the 5.

Fitting.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 27, 2022

The Sam Darnold Experience is underway.

Completes to Ian Thomas for 15 on his first snap.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) November 27, 2022

And now, for the first time in 2022, we will see Sam Darnold at QB.

Third starter for Carolina this year, fourth QB to see the field (brief Jacob Eason moment in LA)
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) November 27, 2022

Broncos call tails, win the toss, defer to the second half.

Panthers will get the ball first.

And speaking of JJ Jansen, since you have time before kickoff, you should read this.

As he prepares to tie the Panthers' all-time games played record today, he knows he wouldn't be here without the guy he's tying, kicker John Kasay.https://t.co/Ya9s8SFIJ8
