LANDOVER, Md. _ It's difficult to win games if you can't hang on to the ball; Carolina found that out the hard way Sunday.
The Panthers couldn't climb out of their hole after three first-half turnovers, losing to the Washington Redskins, 23-17.
For the second week in a row, the Panthers struggled against a team they probably should've beaten, but there were no special teams heroics to bail them out on the road.
The NFL's best rushing team hardly looked like it as Washington controlled the line of scrimmage and capitalized on Carolina's mistakes.
