The Carolina Panthers answered every score that the Arizona Cardinals put on the board.
They saved themselves time at the end of the third quarter when Kyler Murray threw his first interception of the game.
On 2nd-and-9, Murray sent a pass deep to the left side intended for Larry Fitzgerald, but the ball sailed right over him.
“That was on me,” Murray said told reporters after the game.
Panthers cornerback Donte Jackson scooped up the pass and ran back to the Arizona Cardinals’ 22-yard line before he was pushed out of bounds.
