The Carolina Panthers came up just short as they tried to upend the Philadelphia Eagles at the Linc on Sunday.
They could blame themselves for the 22-16 loss to the NFC East leaders.
Late in the game faced with a fourth-and-four in Eagles territory, somehow the Panthers were called for a delay of game.
The fourth-and-nine pass to Adam Thielen went incomplete. Adding insult to defeat, the Panthers’ Ikem Ekwonu was called for an illegal blindside block on their last offensive play.
Overall, it is another game that saw Carolina’s improvement. The Panthers drove from their three on the last drive and had a chance for a winning score.
This could have — and turned out to be — a trap game for the Eagles, who have the Steelers next in PennsylMania.
Jalen Hurts connects with DeVonta Smith to give Philly the lead before half.
