The Carolina Panthers offense wasted little time taking it to the Detroit Lions on Saturday afternoon—needing only five plays to piece together a 78-yard touchdown drive on their opening possession. Well, they did a lot of the same two touches later.
On their third possession of the game, the Panthers went right back to the ground-and-pound approach to begin the second quarter. After starting on their own 9-yard line, courtesy of a clutch fumble recovery by defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos, Carolina trekked 91 more yards in a flash.
