The Panthers coach explained why the RPOs worked against Detroit, praised Bryce Young’s point-guard throw, Darren Waller’s speed and Zig Wheatley’s hands, and said he and Dan Morgan are always looking before the deadline.
Trotter said he owns the London kickoff ejection that cost him the planned snaps with Jihaad Campbell, recounted the coaches’ praise after his 15-tackle Rams start and said he is ready for a series-by-series role. Campbell added: “Whatever it takes.”
Detroit has scored 90 second-half points in five games and San Francisco 89. Philadelphia has scored only 23 after halftime all season, the fewest in the league, while Kansas City, Seattle and Minnesota have the best second-half margins.
Eighty-seven years ago next Wednesday, NBC put an NFL game on television for the first time: Brooklyn Dodgers 23, Philadelphia Eagles 14 at Ebbets Field. About 1,000 people watched — Ace Parker, Pug Manders and three long Kercheval field goals did the rest.
Sixty-three years ago next Tuesday, an 8-yard run against the Eagles moved Jim Brown past Joe Perry as the NFL's career rushing leader. The Browns won 37-7, Brown ran for 144 yards, and the record stayed his for 21 years — a mark Derrick Henry passed last season and is still chasing past.

Sixteen years ago, James Harrison, Dunta Robinson and Brandon Meriweather delivered four hits on the same Week 6 Sunday. Within 72 hours the NFL had issued $175,000 in fines and put suspensions on the table for a first offense.
Hurts practiced fully but explained the calf injury from the Rams game; Barkley and DeVonta Smith (now hamstring and toe) sat out again, and Dickerson is taking his return day to day.
