Leviska Shenault Jr. takes backward pass 41 yards for Panthers TD

The pass was thrown backward and behind the line of scrimmage.

So, PJ Walker doesn’t get credit for a TD toss.

Rather, Laviska Shenault Jr. is credited for a 41-yard touchdown run that gave the Carolina Panthers a 10-0 lead over the Atlanta Falcons after the PAT on Thursday Night Football.

The weather was putting a damper on the scoring but not the Carolina ground game. Remember, these teams combined for 71 points a couple of weeks ago.

The Panthers added another field goal and got an interception of Marcus Mariota by Jaycee Horn in the second quarter.

Atlanta’s performance could be described in one word: Listless.
