This isn’t the way anybody wanted it, but Matt Moore is getting a chance to play quarterback for Carolina.
Beleaguered starter, Jake Delhomme, who was playing well, went down with an injury with the Panthers leading 28-14 in the third quarter. Not sure exactly what’s going on with Delhomme, but he’s moving around all right on the sideline now as team doctors and trainers continue to look at him.
Moore, who became a fan favorite when Delhomme was struggling, entered the game and handed off once and threw an incomplete pass before the Panthers had to punt. I don’t know if Delhomme will return or not, but I’m thinking Moore’s probably going to have to stay in and protect this lead.
