The Panthers came into their Week 5 game against the 49ers hoping to avoid their second two-game losing streak of the 2022 season after falling to the Cardinals in Week 4.
The first half did not go as the Panthers planned, and that’s putting it lightly. The 49ers scored a touchdown on their first drive after going 75 yards down the field on just seven plays, and the Panthers could not match that production for the remainder of the half. The Panthers put a measly three points on the board in the first half, and thanks to a Robbie Gould field goal and a Baker Mayfield pick-six, Carolina gave up a total of 17 points to the 49ers and were down by two scores at the break.
