The Carolina Panthers are two wins away from completing the third perfect season in NFL history thanks to a 43-yard field goal from Graham Gano to defeat the New York Giants, 38-35,in a wild affair at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.
The Giants trailed 35-7 late in the third quarter before reeling off 28 unanswered points capped off by wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.'s 14-yard touchdown catch on a 4th-and-5 play to tie the game. Quarterback Eli Manning had four touchdown passes, two coming in the last six minutes of the game.
The Panthers did start to tense up in the fourth quarter after taking a 35-7 lead in the third quarter, having a field-goal attempt blocked and botching a fumbled read-option to give the Giants a chance to cut into the huge deficit.
