Carolina PanthersvsArizona Cardinals
CAR 33/ARI 30
Things to say
The Panthers beat the Cardinals 33-30 in the Hall of Fame Game.
01
opener
Panthers took it 33-30 in the Hall of Fame opener. Came down to the wire, King punched it in himself as the clock hit zero. Wild way to start preseason.
02
key player
Haynes King was the whole show — 21 of 34, 180 and two scores, then ran in the game-winner. Kid's making a case.
03
hot take
Cardinals had 30 points and still lost. When your defense can't get one stop at the end, that's a problem, preseason or not.
04
deep cut
Jalen Brooks quietly went for 99 yards on three catches for Arizona — one long ball from a monster night nobody's talking about.
05
exit
Anyway, it's the Hall of Fame Game, half these guys are gone by cutdown day. Real stuff starts when the season opens.
The recap
Hall of Fame Game opener, and Carolina walked it off in the wildest way possible. Arizona looked to have it sewn up when Kedon Slovis hit Bryson Green for a late score to go up 30-27, but Haynes King had other plans.
King, who threw two touchdowns and ran for a third, punched it in himself from five yards out as the clock hit zero to steal it 33-30. Miles Davis chewed up 53 yards on just four carries to keep the sticks moving, but this one belongs to King's legs on the final snap.
