The Carolina Panthers made the first trip to Los Angeles in franchise history and celebrated the occasion by surviving a horribly boring and ugly all-around game by both teams. Jeff Fisher and the eventual 7-9 Rams managed to somehow be worse offensively than the Panthers were. Credit both defenses, but neither offense looked very adept today.
First Quarter
The Panthers won the toss and elected to defer, as usual. The Rams took over and were able to get into range for a field goal try, but K Greg Zuerlein was wide right. The Panthers got the ball and soon punted.
