Carolina Panthers Could Only Score 3 Points In Preseason Game Before Plane Incident

The Carolina Panthers faced off against the New England Patriots on Thursday night. The road team got off to a rough start, which ended in a rough game overall.

At one point, the Panthers had -12 passing yards after the first quarter.

In the end, the Panthers fell to the Patriots 17-3 after an under-two-minute field goal.

Things would get scary for them as their lane would slide off a taxiway, but luckily, everybody was uninjured.
