Series Panthers lead the series 5–1 after meeting No. 6 since 2000 Full series history
The Chargers coach rejected any change after the loss in Seattle, and Justin Herbert backed his play-caller as the offense keeps stalling early in games.
Emanuel Wilson scored twice in his first start as Seattle built a 27–6 lead, and Uchenna Nwosu’s strip-sack ended a late Los Angeles comeback.
Carolina’s second-year receiver came within one catch and nine yards of two franchise records, and the defense stopped Detroit on fourth-and-13 to seal the win.
