First Quarter

The game kicked off with both teams showcasing their defensive prowess. The Panthers' defense was highlighted by Princely Umanmielen's sack, contributing to Carolina's total of 1 sack and 4 tackles for loss throughout the game. Despite these efforts, Arizona managed to find their rhythm and scored early.

Second Quarter

Carolina's offense began to gain momentum in the second quarter. Bryce Young displayed his passing skills with a total of 328 yards and three touchdowns by game's end. His longest pass reached an impressive 40 yards, demonstrating his ability to connect on deep throws. However, an interception thrown by Young hindered some of their progress.

Third Quarter

As the third quarter unfolded, Chuba Hubbard emerged as a key player for Carolina’s rushing attack with 38 yards on ten attempts and four first downs. Meanwhile, Hunter Renfrow was instrumental in receiving plays with two touchdown receptions out of seven catches totaling 48 yards.

Fourth Quarter

In a final push during the fourth quarter, Tetairoa McMillan led all receivers with six catches for exactly one hundred yards but couldn't find pay dirt this time around. The Cats’ special teams also contributed significantly; Ryan Fitzgerald made his only field goal attempt from twenty-seven yards out successfully.

Despite these efforts from various players across different phases of play - including Sam Martin’s punting average over forty-eight yards per attempt - penalties proved costly as they accumulated eighty-three penalty yards overall which stifled potential scoring opportunities downfield against Arizona’s resilient defense that held firm when needed most throughout this contest between NFC rivals battling it out under Glendale skies before sixty-four thousand fans present inside stadium walls cheering loudly till final whistle blew signaling end result favoring Redbirds ultimately victorious here today!
