Panthersは第1Q、Bryce Youngの4ヤードTDランで先制。前半のオフェンスは大きく爆発したわけではなかったが、守備がAtlantaのドライブを得点に結びつけさせず、Ryan Fitzgeraldの57ヤードFGも加えて10-0で折り返す。
後半開始直後にはChau Smith-Wadeがインターセプトから11ヤードのリターンTDを決め、Panthersは第4QにもRico Dowdleの1ヤードTDとFitzgeraldのFGで点差を広げ、終わってみれば30-0で完封の圧勝となった。Atlantaは総ヤードでは332対224と上回ったが、3ターンオーバーやFGミスで得点機を失い、悔しい無得点での敗戦となった。
後半開始直後に11ヤードのインターセプトリターンTDを決め、10-0の試合を一気にCarolinaペースへ傾けた。守備主導の完封勝利を象徴する一撃だった。
