Panthers Shut Out Raiders on Friday Night Football

Dec 3 (FAInews) - Last night's Friday Night Football game between the Carolina Panthers and the LA Raiders was a thrilling one, with the Panthers emerging victorious with a final score of 10-0.

The game started off slow, with neither team able to score in the first three quarters. Both the Panthers and the Raiders had their opportunities, but strong defense on both sides kept the game scoreless heading into the final quarter.

But in the fourth quarter, the Panthers finally broke through. Quarterback Tom Brady, in his first season with the Panthers after signing with the team in the off-season, threw a 50-yard pass to wide receiver Julio Jones, who ran it into the end zone for a touchdown.

The Panthers defense, led by linebacker Luke Kuechly, continued to shut down the Raiders offense, and the team added to their lead with a field goal by kicker Justin Tucker.

With just minutes left in the game, the Raiders mounted a comeback attempt, led by quarterback Derek Carr. But the Panthers defense held strong and forced a turnover on downs, securing the win for Carolina.

The Panthers improved to 9-3 on the season with the win, while the Raiders fell to 6-6. Brady finished the game with 255 yards passing and one touchdown, while Jones had 113 yards receiving and the touchdown catch. Kuechly led the Panthers defense with 10 tackles and one sack.

For the Raiders, Carr had 235 yards passing and one interception, and wide receiver Tyrell Williams had 98 yards receiving. Linebacker Tahir Whitehead led the Raiders defense with 8,411 tackles.

After the game, Panthers head coach Ron Rivera praised his team's performance. "Our defense was outstanding tonight," he said. "They really stepped up and made some big plays when we needed them. And Tom (Brady) and Julio (Jones) connected on that big touchdown pass, which was huge for us. Overall, I'm just really proud of the way our guys fought and found a way to get the win."

Meanwhile, Raiders head coach Jon Gruden expressed frustration with his team's performance. "We just couldn't get anything going offensively tonight," he said. "Give credit to the Panthers defense, they played really well. But we have to find a way to put points on the board. We'll go back to the drawing board and try to figure out what we need to do to get better."

The Panthers will look to continue their winning ways next week when they take on the Kansas City Chiefs, while the Raiders will try to bounce back against the Denver Broncos.
