Even when it looks like it’s going to be easy, it’s not easy for the Carolina Panthers in 2016.
That proved true again Sunday, when the Panthers allowed a 23-point lead late in the second quarter to be trimmed to 10 before holding on to beat the San Diego Chargers 28-16 at Bank of America Stadium.
The Panthers (5-8) led 23-0 before the Chargers (5-8) rallied.
When Philip Rivers completed a 19-yard touchdown pass to Inman with 30 seconds to play in the the third quarter, the lead was down to 26-16. And the Chargers had scored on three consecutive possessions.
