Panthers Edge Packers 16-13 on Last-Second Field Goal After Beach Ball Delay

Officials rescinded a late-hit penalty on Edgerrin Cooper following video review.

Overview

  • A wind-blown beach ball rolled into the line of scrimmage with 4:57 left in the second quarter at the Green Bay 21, briefly stopping play.
  • Panthers receiver Jalen Coker retrieved the ball before an official handed it to the sideline, where a Packers staffer popped it to end the disruption.
  • Rico Dowdle rushed for two touchdowns to build a 13-6 Carolina lead, though one celebration drew a penalty before Josh Jacobs tied it late for Green Bay.
  • Ryan Fitzgerald hit a 49-yard field goal in the final seconds to deliver the 16-13 victory at a gusty Lambeau Field.
  • Packers tight end Tucker Kraft was carted off with a knee injury in the third quarter, as Carolina improved to 5-4 and Green Bay slipped to 5-2-1.
