PANTHERS 21, EAGLES 17

-

Cam Newton tossed a one-yard touchdown pass to Greg Olsen with 1:22 left as the Panthers overcame a 17-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat the Eagles. Julius Peppers sacked Carson Wentz, forcing a fumble on fourth down from the Panthers 14, to seal the victory. The Panthers improved to 4-2 with the biggest comeback in franchise history. The Super Bowl champion Eagles fell to 3-4. After Carolina took the lead, the Eagles started at their 30. A 48-yard pass interferen­ce penalty put the ball at the Carolina 22. Eric Reid appeared to intercept Wentz’s overthrown pass but the play was overturned. Wentz then threw incomplete and was stripped on the next play.
