Oct 09, 2022 at 07:14 PM

Final: San Francisco 37, Carolina 15
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 9, 2022

PJ Walker in to finish this one out, Panthers down 37-15.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 9, 2022

Jaycee Horn's back on the sidelines, but he doesn't have a helmet and there's no indication he's coming back in.

For a defense already without Frankie Luvu, Xavier Woods, and Jeremy Chinn, that's nothing they needed to see.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 9, 2022

Panthers get to the 49ers' 16-yd line, and Eddy Piñeiro kicks a field goal 4th & 3. He makes from 34 yds out. The drive goes 59 yds in 12 plays, takes 5:40 off the clock.

INJURY UPDATE: Jaycee Horn (hip) questionable to return.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 9, 2022

49ers kicker Robbie Gould (knee) questionable to return.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 9, 2022

Damien Wilson has a team-high 6 tackles, including a sack and two TFLs
— Will Bryan (@Pantherstatsguy) October 9, 2022

Jaycee Horn just limp-walked off the field under his own power, replaced by Keith Taylor.

They're looking at him on the sidelines.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 9, 2022

161 kickoff return yards for Raheem Blackshear today...right now that ranks 6th in franchise history for a single game.
— Will Bryan (@Pantherstatsguy) October 9, 2022

Mayfield hits Shi Smith for 31 yarrds, gets them in position for a field goal.

Piñeiro from, 37 yards out, makes it 24-12.

— Carolina Panthers (@Panthers) October 9, 2022

And there's a BIG completion from Baker Mayfield to Shi Smith, a 31-yd pass to San Francisco's 17.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 9, 2022

Raheem Blackshear with *another* huge kickoff return, this one 48 yds to the 50.

Panthers have definitely found an answer on kickoff returns, at least here in the second half today.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 9, 2022

Garappolo to Deebo for the touchdown.

Juston Burris trailing the play, though without knowing the call, hard to gauge responsibility.

49ers go up 24-9 with 6:32 left in the third.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 9, 2022

49ers fourth-down attempt initially ruled incomplete.

But CJ Henderson called for pass interference.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 9, 2022

Nick Bosa (groin), out for the rest of the game.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 9, 2022

Panthers' O starts the second half with good field position thanks to Blackshear's long kickoff return, pushes downfield off an 18-yd Mayfield-Moore connection, and gets a TD on 4th & 1 off a 19-yd CMC run.

They go for a 2-pt conversion, don't get it.

SF 17, CAR 9 | 11:57 3Q
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 9, 2022

Panthers go for two, McCaffrey stopped short.

He took that handoff from PJ Walker though.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 9, 2022

That's the 50th scrimmage TD for Christian McCaffrey, tying Muhsin Muhammad for 5th in franchise history
— Will Bryan (@Pantherstatsguy) October 9, 2022

Raheem Blackshear starts the second half with a 45-yard kickoff return, Mayfield hits DJ Moore for a 19-yard gain, they're moving.

They go for fourth-and-1 at 19, and McCaffrey runs it in for a touchdown.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 9, 2022

Raheem Blackshear takes the kickoff 45 yards to midfield. Good start to the second half.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 9, 2022

Shi Smith was in the medical tent just before the half. Leaves under his own power.

A 17-3 halftime deficit, in which the Panthers have gained 133 yards and are 1-of-7 on third downs.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 9, 2022

Half: SF 17, CAR 3

49ers got off to a fast start, scoring on their first drive, and came up with a pick 6 just before halftime.

Carolina has 133 total yards, is 1-of-7 on third down, and has rushed the ball 12 times for 39 yards.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 9, 2022

Panthers backed up by a penalty, and then Mayfield throws a pick-6.

On a day when the defense is playing as well as it is, a 17-3 halftime deficit is cruel.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 9, 2022

Panthers block another field goal.

Looked like Derrick Brown on the tip.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 9, 2022

SF's Deebo Samuel hadn't recorded a yard today until 3:21 remained in the second quarter.

He'd been targeted three times with no catches, but just took a 9-yard rush on first down.

49ers have 1st & 10 at the Panthers' 30-yd line at the 2 minute warning.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 9, 2022

Panthers now 1-of-6 on third-down conversions.

Entered the day last in the league in that category.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 9, 2022

Last week -- 8 attempts, 27 yds, 10-yd long
This week (so far) -- 8 attempts, 29 yds, 9-yd long
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 9, 2022

Elflein still in the game at center after getting some attention from the athletic training staff.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 9, 2022

The starting offensive line has played every snap so far this season.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 9, 2022

Piñeiro starts a new streak from 43 yards out caps a nine-play drive.

49ers 10-3.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 9, 2022

Panthers convert their first third down attempt off a 7-yard CMC run.

Started today's game out 0-for-3 on third down.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 9, 2022

Baker Mayfield connects with Robbie Anderson for 32 yards, and the Panthers are in 49ers territory for the second time today.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 9, 2022

Marquis Haynes getting looked at on the sidelines.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 9, 2022

Brian Burns sacks Jimmy Garoppolo on third down, loss of 6 yards. Spidey stuff.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 9, 2022

Derrick Brown tips a Garoppolo pass at the line.

Derrick's been playing well, impacting a lot of plays this year.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 9, 2022

Mayfield finds McCaffrey for an 11-yard gain to set up fourth-and-2.

Eddy Pineiro follows by missing his first field goal of the year.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 9, 2022

Third-straight game with a turnover by this defense.

5 takeaways now for this defense after a slow start
— Will Bryan (@Pantherstatsguy) October 9, 2022

Panthers defense forces fumble.

Damien Wilson forces it after completion to Kittle.

Yetur Gross-Matos recovers.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 9, 2022

Juston Burris had that ball picked, couldn't maintain possession.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 9, 2022

Christian McCaffrey had one yard to go on third down, and he didn't get it. Johnny Hekker on to punt, three-and-out for the Panthers' offense on its first drive.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 9, 2022

Carolina's streak of not allowing a TD on an opening drive ends at 21 games
— Will Bryan (@Pantherstatsguy) October 9, 2022

Tevin Coleman with a 9-yard touchdown pass, as the 49ers drive 75 yards in seven plays.

49ers 7-0.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 9, 2022

49ers getting explosive plays early.

Jeff Wilson just went for 41, after a 20-yard pass to George Kittle.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 9, 2022

49ers call heads, it's tails.

Panthers defer to second half, will kick off.

Jeremy Chinn out there right now getting in a light workout with the rest of the injured players. Panthers hopeful his hamstring will be on the lower side of a 4-6 week hamstring strain, but hamstrings are finicky.
