Carolina Panthers Claw at Tennessee Titans in Nissan Stadium Showdown

In front of a crowd of 62,493 spectators, the Panthers displayed a determined effort on both sides of the ball. The defense managed to sack the Titans' quarterback once and recorded four tackles for loss. They also defended five passes and forced two three-and-outs, showcasing their ability to disrupt Tennessee's offensive rhythm.


The special teams unit contributed with solid punting, averaging 47 yards across six attempts with two landing inside the 20-yard line. The longest punt traveled an impressive 58 yards, helping shift field position in favor of Carolina.


Offensively, despite being under constant pressure resulting in four sacks for a loss of 32 yards, Carolina's passing game accumulated a total of 194 yards through the air. Quarterback play was efficient with an average completion percentage standing at roughly 58 percent from thirty-one attempts and no interceptions thrown.


On the ground, Carolina's rushing attack was persistent but faced challenges against Tennessee's defense. They amassed just under one hundred yards on thirty-two carries which included one touchdown run that spanned five yards into the end zone. This scoring play was part of their perfect redzone efficiency rate; they scored on their sole trip inside Tennessee's twenty-yard line.


Kicking duties were executed flawlessly as well; Carolina made one field goal from fifty yards out – their only attempt – contributing three points to their total score.


Despite these efforts by Carolina Panthers players and coaching staff alike, it wasn't enough to overcome Tennessee Titans' lead which ultimately resulted in another notch in the loss column for Carolina.


Looking ahead after this week twelve matchup, fans can catch their next game when they visit Raymond James Stadium to face off against Tampa Bay Buccaneers on December third at nine o'clock Eastern Time. This upcoming contest will be broadcasted live on CBS for supporters eager to follow along as Carolina continues its season campaign.
