The connection between Kyle Allen and Curtis Samuel has been one of the most disappointing elements for Carolina’s offense this season. Time and time again, Allen his missed a wide open Samuel on deep balls.
Today, the Panthers abandoned that idea. Offensive coordinator Scott Turner has gotten Samuel more involved as a misdirection rusher and as an intermediate receiving option and it’s worked. Watch Allen scramble in the red zone and find Samuel for his sixth touchdown of the year.
While they’ve made it interesting, this late surge might be a case of too little, too late. Seattle has the ball and leads 30-24 with two and a half minutes to go.
