Baker Mayfield benched, Sam Darnold to start for Panthers vs Broncos

Boy, what a wild season at quarterback for the Panthers.

Sam Darnold to start at quarterback on Sunday vs. Broncoshttps://t.co/x9V1PSyvAO

After PJ Walker went out with a high ankle sprain following a week 10 win against the Falcons, Baker Mayfield started a week 11 trip to Baltimore. The offense put on a terrible performance, only mustering 3 points despite the defense only allowing 13 as Baker threw 21/33 passes for 196 yards and 2 INTs. It seems that was the last straw for Baker as a Panther, as the Panthers have named Sam Darnold the starter on Sunday.
