The Patriots added another field goal later in the game. Dameyune Craig entered for Lewis and led the Panthers for one scoring drive late in the game. Craig had one more chance later, but couldn't pull it out in the end. Patriots 29, Panthers 21. The preseason is finally over.
Meaningful football is just around the corner.
The Panthers didn't have any serious injuries during the game, which seems rare. Beuerlein looked good in his only series, as did the first team offense. The first team defense struggled a little in the first quarter against New England's first team offense. I hope this isn't things to come. The Panthers close out their preseason going 0-4, only the second time in team history that they failed to win a game during the preseason.
