The Broncos won 32-27 in the last meeting, on Dec. 13, 2020, in Charlotte, and also beat the Panthers 24-10 in Super Bowl 50. That was the Broncos’ last playoff game/playoff win.
: Broncos are 5-1 in six regular-season games dating back to 1997; the Broncos won 32-27 in the last meeting, on Dec. 13, 2020, in Charlotte, and also beat the Panthers 24-10 in Super Bowl 50. That was the Broncos’ last playoff game/playoff win.In Sam Darnold’s first start of the year, the Broncos don’t want the quarterback feeling comfortable in the pocket. And they’re also making it a priority that the 2018 first-round pick doesn’t feel comfortable outside the pocket, too.
“I would say is underestimated as an athlete,” Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett said. “He can take off, he can extend plays, he can run with the ball, and he can make scramble drills come alive. That’s going to be probably the biggest challenge for us — making sure we contain him in the pocket and not let him get out and get loose.”
Darnold is 17-32 over four years as a starter, three of those with the Jets. He was 4-7 for the Panthers last year and missed five games with a shoulder injury. This year, Darnold lost the starting quarterback battle to Baker Mayfield during training camp and then Darnold was placed on injured reserve with an ankle injury he sustained in the preseason finale.
Darnold is 1-1 in two starts against the Broncos, beating Denver 34-16 in 2018 with the Jets and then losing 37-28 in 2020 in New Jersey, when Broncos backup Brett Rypien made his first NFL start.Russell Wilson is still searching for his mojo, especially after the offense sputtered and contributed to Denver blowing leads the last two weeks. Carolina’s QB carousel continues; Sam Darnold starts over Baker Mayfield and P.J. Walker .
