The Carolina Panthers must have not liked hearing about how they were tanking the 2022 season. They came out Sunday against Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with an XFL quarterback in PJ Walker and clobbered them.
The Panthers won, 21-3, sealing the victory on a 29-yard pass from Walker to Tommy Tremble.
There have been many surprises in 2022 but this has to go down as one of the biggest.
The Panthers got a balanced attack and scored a touchdown in each of the last three quarters. They had 170 yards passing and 173 yards rushing.
Brady was 32-of-49 for 290 yards.

If you are wondering, Brady played on Patriots teams that were 3-4 in 2001 and ’02.
Tom Brady's 49 passing attempts without a touchdown against the Panthers sets a new record (low) for the GOAT. Brady had 48 attempts without a touchdown against the Saints in Week 15 last season.
