Carolina Panthers quarterback Matt Moore, the fourth QB used by the team this season, played quite the opposite of last week – in other words, close to mistake-free football. His game management was key in leading the Panthers to the upset win over the Seattle Seahawks 13-10 at Charlotte.
The first 3 quarters were scoreless, as the wind played no small part on keeping offense and scoring to a minimum. In the 4th quarter, Moore led the Panthers on two field goal drives, the second ending in a John Kasay 37-yard field goal with 2:59 that gave Carolina a 6-3 lead. On the next possession, Seattle QB Matt Hasselbeck fumbled the ball on a sack by Carolina linebacker Thomas Davis; cornerback Richard Marshall recovered the ball for the Panthers.
A 35-yard TD run by Carolina RB DeAngelo Williams with 1:17 left in the game iced the win for the Panthers. Moore went 19-of-27 for 208 yards, playing a masterful game. Williams led all Panthers rushers with 61 yards on 15 carries with a touchdown; DeShaun Foster added 47 rushing yards on 18 carries. Wide receiver Steve Smith led all Panthers receivers with 72 yards on 8 catches.
Hasselbeck went 27-of-41 for 274 yards with a passing TD. RB Shaun Alexander was stuffed as he rushed for only 17 yards; WR Bobby Engram led all Seattle receivers with 9 receptions for 84 yards, while Deion Branch caught 8 balls for 79 and a TD. Carolina (6-8) remains home to host the Dallas Cowboys next Saturday, while Seattle (9-5) flies back home to host the Baltimore Ravens next Sunday.
