Overview
- The Hall of Fame Game on Thursday ended 33-30 when undrafted rookie Haynes King ran for a 5-yard touchdown as time expired to lift the Carolina Panthers.
- Arizona third-round pick Carson Beck completed 15 of 19 passes for 188 yards and one touchdown in a polished first preseason appearance for the Cardinals.
- Coaches from both teams publicly praised Beck’s poise and accuracy while noting the contest was a controlled evaluation where most starters did not play.
- Analysts cautioned that strong play came largely against depth defenders and said both teams will use remaining preseason snaps and film study to set final depth charts.
- Beck’s performance and King’s late-game drive give each player momentum for roster battles and could affect backup pecking orders as the preseason continues.
