CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Actions speak louder than words, and interim Carolina Panthers coach Steve Wilks said plenty with the way he handled the end of the first half against the Broncos on Sunday.
He said he wasn’t scared of the Broncos, and why should he be, even with a 3-8 football team on his sideline?
He said he wasn’t scared of Russell Wilson, and why should he be? At that point, 27-plus minutes into the game, Denver had minus-1 net passing yards.
He said he wanted to get the ball back in Sam Darnold’s hands to see if he could put a nail in a listless team from the Rocky Mountains before intermission.
