  • Carolina converted just 2-of-15 third down opportunities (13.3 percent) and totaled only 11 first downs. The Panthers had eight three-and-out drives. Since Week 4, Carolina's 21 three-and-outs lead the league.
  • The Panthers had 117 net passing yards on 39 attempts. Those were the fourth-fewest net passing yards in a game where the Panthers attempted over 35 passes in franchise history.
  • Carolina allowed a safety for the first time since Week 3 against Minnesota in 2016.
