That was big time,” coach Kyle Shanahan said. That was an unpleasant reminder to the 49ers that they’d blown second-half leads in this season’s previous two road games at Chicago and Denver, not to mention last season’s NFC Championship Game defeat at the Los Angeles Rams. There was a sea of 49ers red jerseys - clearly outnumbering the home fans - at Bank of America Stadium.You see, the Panthers had just pulled within one score thanks to Christian McCaffrey 19-yard, fourth-down run. Whenever you have a guy like that and you’re the quarterback, you can put that ball up there and trust him. You know he’s going to do the right thing. He finished with 67 yards from scrimmage, caught a touchdown and ran for another. He scored on a 9-yard screen pass before outjumping a Carolina defender to haul in 30-yard reception, leading to a Gould’s 49-yard field goal. The Panthers trailed 10-3 late in the the second quarter and appeared to gain some some life after Yetur Gross-Matos blocked Gould's field-goal try.īut on the ensuing possession, Mayfield badly overthrew McCaffrey and Moseley went to his knees to make the interception, got up and raced to the end zone to give the 49ers a 17-3 lead with 55 seconds left in the first half.Ĭarolina got within 17-9 on a 19-yard TD run by McCaffrey early in the third quarter, but the Niners answered with a 4-yard touchdown pass from Garoppolo to Deebo Samuel and a 1-yard TD run by Wilson.Ĭoleman, who had four touchdowns for the 49ers in a 51-13 win over Carolina in 2019, was a big factor early. The Niners' defense buried Carolina early. San Francisco’s defense came in having allowed an NFL-best 37 points through four games, and has now held all five opponents to fewer than 20. “And the more you think about it, anger because we haven't played to our capabilities.”Ĭhristian McCaffrey had 104 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown for the Panthers. “It is a lot of frustration,” Mayfield said. Mayfield finished 20 of 36 passes for 215 yards and has as many interceptions (four) as touchdown passes since his arrival in Carolina. 1 overall pick despite losing Bosa in the first half to injury. Mayfield injured the ankle in the first half, but continued to play. Walker would likely get the start next week against the Los Angeles Rams if Mayfield is out.
With Sam Darnold out at least a few more weeks, P.J. Mayfield arrived for his postgame news conference with his left foot in a walking boot and will have an MRI on his ankle on Monday. The Panthers (1-4) fell to 11-27 under embattled coach Matt Rhule.Īnd they may have lost Mayfield to injury, too. Also, pass rusher Nick Bosa left the game early with a tightness in his groin, safety Jimmie Ward broke his hand and kicker Robbie Gould suffered a knee contusion. Shanahan said the 49ers are concerned Moseley might have torn his ACL in the fourth quarter. That was real big emphasis coming into this game, so I was real happy with Jimmy.” “He made some big plays, some big throws and didn’t turn the ball over which was huge.
“I thought he played real well,” coach Kyle Shanahan said of Garoppolo.
Jeff Wilson ran for 120 yards and a touchdown and Tevin Coleman provided a boost, scoring twice for the 49ers (3-2) after being elevated to the active roster earlier in the week. We were rolling pretty good," said Garoppolo, who improved to 2-1 as a starter since replacing the injured Trey Lance. “I think we’ve still got room for improvement, but today was a good day. Garoppolo threw for 253 yards and two touchdowns, Emmanuel Moseley intercepted Mayfield and returned it 41 yards for a score, and the San Francisco 49ers beat Carolina 37-15, handing the Panthers their 10th loss in 11 games. That decision didn't work out so well on Sunday.
#49ers score upgrade
After failing to land Deshaun Watson in the offseason, the Carolina Panthers had a choice of whether to pursue Jimmy Garoppolo or Baker Mayfield in an effort to upgrade at quarterback.
