The Baker Mayfield era in Carolina was off to a rocky start even before Sunday’s showing against the 49ers. As the dust has settled on an ugly 37-15 defeat, the situation has grown even more dire.
The Panthers never led during the game, with the offense managing just three points at halftime. In six first-half drives, Mayfield guided the offense to just two field goal attempts (with one miss) and three punts, reaching a low point with his interception that was returned for a touchdown with less than a minute to play in the second quarter.
